Services and facilities

Bob-O-Link golfers tell us how much they appreciate a golf course that is short and interesting.  Below are some of the services that make Bob-O-Link a complete golf course:

Driving range
The 25-stall driving range provides opportunities for you to improve your drives and longer chip shots.  Flags spaced across the range give you a good sense of how your stroke is connecting.  You can watch other golfers practice their swings and pick up a point or two.  The buckets of balls last longer than you would think - jumbo baskets hold about 100 balls; the large baskets hold about 70 balls, and the small baskets hold around 30 balls.  The driving range is lit up at night until 11:00 PM usually.   You can bring your own clubs or rent some from the Pro Shop for a nominal fee.

Putting green
If you are waiting your turn in the bag line, you are welcome to practice your putting on our practice green.  It is a real green and the holes are moved regularly to keep the green in good shape.  It is courteous to bring several balls to the practice green and aim all the balls for the same hole.  Please avoid crossing another player's putting zone. A chipping green is also available to use with permission of the golf instructor or counter staff.

Par three golfing
All the holes at Bob-O-Link are Par 3, meaning that experienced golfers can reach the cup every time in three strokes from the tee.  The shorter hole distances are perfect for seniors, young golfers, and players who do not feel very confident.  In a way, it helps golfers of all skills to enjoy a game together.  The entire course is usually played with the higher-numbered iron clubs (5 - 9), with no drivers or wood clubs necessary.  Some golfers only bring a 5 iron, a 9 iron, and a putter to play the entire course.

Hazards
Golf is a game of avoiding hazards, so Bob-O-Link has a nice assortment of obstacles and challenges.  These include trees, a very small stream, a larger lake, and narrower fairways.  You won't endure the embarrassment of spending an afternoon in a sand trap or in extensive rough.  The areas between fairways are mown so balls are playable even on the fringes.

Food and drinks
The Bob-O-Link Snack Bar offers breakfast food, sandwiches, hot dogs, soft drinks and beer, snacks, and the "Best Milkshakes in Western New York" (Rated by listeners of KISS 98.5 FM).  To keep the course safe and secure, alcohol on the golf course is prohibited and violators will be ejected from the course by our patrollers.

Golfing with kids
Bob-O-Link is a family course and we encourage Par 3 golf as a whole-family activity.  While golfing at Bob-O-Link, you can catch up on the time you might be missing with your busy schedules.  A round of golf at Bob-O-Link takes about two and a half hours, depending on the number of golfers on the course.  Lots of time to laugh, chat, and make family memories!

Junior Golfers (Age 15 years old and under)
Unless accompanied by someone 16 years of age or older, a parent or guardian must come to the Bob-O-Link clubhouse to sign-in junior golfers. All the same golf etiquette and course policies apply to junior golfers and our rangers will enforce the rules (Bobolink is private property). Youth who violate course rules will be asked to leave. Junior golfers may play after 6 pm only if accompanied by a parent or guardian over 21 years of age.

Tent parties and short-course golf
Your organization or business can get valuable time with clients, donors, employees, administrators, or other influential individuals by creating a special golf outing.  To keep the event moving along, rangers and counter staff will start foursomes on either the first or tenth holes as space is available.  Because Bob-O-Link is a great course for beginners and experienced golfers, everyone can enjoy the day! Bob-O-Link can provide our 40' x 20' tent and slotted starts for participants. For an additional fee Bob-O-Link will arrange a dinner of sizzling steaks, barbequed chicken, or other menu items to satisfy the appetites of the players.

Hole-in-One Contest fundraising
Call Bob-O-link at 662-4311 to arrange a Hole-In-One contest for your charity.  We have had a great time hosting these contests since 2003!

Speed golf
Speed Golf is catchy and fast-paced!  Players are scored based on time to complete the course, plus their overall stroke score. To be a competitive speed golfer, you need to be in excellent physical shape and have an honest playing ethic.

Speed golfers are only allowed early morning starting times so they are not held up by other players on the course.  The special starting time must be arranged with the starter or counter staff two days in advance of any speed golf tee-off.
