Winery and WNY Packages

Golf Packages at the Lockport Town & Country Club
We are pleased that we are now able to offer our guests exclusive golfing privileges and lunch at the18-hole regulation length private Town & Country Club of Lockport, one of New York's oldest and most popular courses. The price for this package includes a wine tasting at the winery. We will also be glad to tailor this package to meet your personal needs. For more information, and to make your reservations, please call 716-439-LAKE.

This is one of the oldest courses in the State of New York. The course was built on rolling terrain, so you can expect many uneven lies. Out-of-bounds stakes line many of the fairways, and water hazards (a few creeks) come into play on half the holes. Stanley Thompson redesigned the original nine holes in the 1930's, and a new nine was built in 1991.

Golf & Hotel Packages at Barton Hill Hotel & Spa
We now have our own Spring Lake Winery Signature Room at The Barton Hill Hotel & Spa, a unique upscale boutique in nearby Lewiston and just minutes from Niagara Falls, where you can extend your stay in true comfort. This package price includes a day of golf at the Town & Country Club of Lockport as well as lunch at the winery. As with all our packages, we will be pleased to tailor this to meet your individual requirements. For more information, and to make your reservations, please call 716-439-5253.
