The front nine is the course's most heavily wooded portion, incorporating major elevation change as it proceeds down a ski hill toward a creek, then back up to the top. The back nine is flatter, slightly longer and generally more open than the front, as it works its way through the old park trees on the plateau atop the hill. A scenic waterfall, as well as several historic stone structures greet golfers as they work their way through the trails of the course. Pins are placed in many very unique positions, and will leave you with many holes to remember.

Installed in the fall of 2008 by the volunteers of the NRDG league in cooperation with the Erie County Parks Dept.

NOTE: There is a nineteenth hole that is a tournament only hole and is officially named 11a.
