Lockport Golf Club

In 1983, when Texaco ceased operation of the Lockport Refinery, the golf course was purchased by 350 members. In 1989, through a special assessment, watered fairways were added to the course. The number of memberships was also increased to the current 450 to help meet maintenance and improvement expenses. Over the past 20-plus years, many improvements have been made to the course. A Bio-ject system was installed to help maintain the tees, fairways and greens. Improvements were made to the maintenance and registration buildings. A blacktop walkway was installed from the registration area to the first tee. A cart storage facility has been added. A new hole was added to the course and then two consecutive par-3’s were combined into one hole to again make the course a more challenging. Many additional tee boxes have been added and more are in the pipeline. A new entryway and gate was installed, as well as a picnic patio near the first tee. New 5-foot high, granite hole markers continue to be installed at each of the tee boxes.
