Thinking About Living in Wanakah Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Wanakah Country Club and the surrounding Buffalo-Niagara golf market.
Wanakah Country Club is Buffalo-Niagara's clearest lakefront old-guard club, founded in 1899 by a group of Buffalo businessmen and sited directly on the Lake Erie shoreline in Hamburg. The course carries design credit to both Donald Ross and Willie Watson from the club's founding era. Membership includes full golf, dining, pool, and tennis privileges for the member and immediate family, and the club added its swimming pool in 1959 after a members' initiative. The Lake Erie shoreline setting is a genuine residential draw for the surrounding Hamburg area independent of the club itself.
