About this course

Willowbrook Golf Club sits in Lockport, New York, a community in Niagara County best known for its historic Erie Canal locks and position between Buffalo and Niagara Falls. The course was designed by Jim Charbonneau, a regional architect who has worked on several layouts across Western New York. The South/West combination represents one of the routing options at this facility, which offers multiple nine-hole configurations for varied play. The terrain in this part of Western New York typically features relatively gentle rolling topography shaped by glacial activity, with mature tree growth and seasonal water features common to courses in the region. Lockport's climate brings distinct seasonal conditions, with courses in the area experiencing full spring-through-fall playing seasons and the landscape characteristics of the Great Lakes basin. The design likely incorporates the natural land movement and vegetation patterns typical of Niagara County golf courses. As a multi-nine facility, Willowbrook provides flexibility in course setup and pace of play, a format that serves both regular members and daily-fee traffic. The South/West pairing offers one of several eighteen-hole experiences available depending on maintenance schedules and player preference. The course serves the local golfing community in the Buffalo-Niagara corridor, an area with a strong tradition of public and semi-private golf accessible to a broad range of players throughout the region.

Getting there

The journey to Willowbrook Golf Club begins at Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF), a straightforward half-hour drive northeast into the historic Erie Canal corridor. The route traces the edge of Niagara County through flat, pastoral terrain - remnants of glacial lake beds that once defined this corner of western New York - before arriving in Lockport, a quiet mill town still marked by the engineering ambition of the 1820s canal locks. Willowbrook itself sits just beyond the town center, where the landscape opens into gentle farmland and the hum of the city fades into something altogether more serene and unhurried.
