Wanakah Country Club

Wanakah Country Club has been a fixture of private golf life on the eastern shore of Lake Erie for generations, situated in the town of Hamburg just south of Buffalo. The club draws its name from the Wanakah neighborhood — a historic lakeside community whose seasonal character and old-money quietude set the tone for the kind of golf experience members find here. Western New York's shoulder seasons can be unforgiving, with lake-effect weather rolling in off Erie on little notice, but that same geography gives the course its personality: open skies, prevailing winds that change the arithmetic on approach shots, and a turf quality shaped by the region's cool, moist climate.
