One of the delightful things about South Shore golf course is that it provides a mixture of challenges and opportunity for golfers of all skill levels. For every hole that has you scratching your head if you fail to make par, there’s another waiting that’ll have you fist pumping if your score matches what the scorecard says it should.
As is the case with most public courses, South Shore has a number of holes that hardly will test how far your game has come along. But as I’m rapidly learning with most courses where anyone with a set of a clubs and a few bucks in their pocket can play, the trials and tribulations that lie on these greens are as strenuous as the prestigious clubs you must be a member to play at.

One of the real staples in Western New York golf, Grover Cleveland Golf Course is steep in tradition. It was the site of the 1912 U.S. Open, won by John McDermott.
That was a long time ago.
Now mainly considered a breeding ground for people learning the game and elders not wanting to walk longer, hilly venues, Grover is hardly a skilled tournament-level golf course. In fact, you’re as likely to see gentlemen in sandals and tee shirts shanking iron shots while enjoying a few “pops” as you are witnessing accomplished veterans spinning wedges back towards the flag.
