Ivy Ridge is 20 minutes east of Buffalo in the Clarence/Akron area just off Main Street.

The layout is an open, links type design journeying over mounded fairways bordered by tall fescue grasses with a generous amount of sand bunkers along the fairways and defending the greens and water hazards on over half the holes. It was designed by Don Nicholas and Blane Harrison, and from the back tees is 7,002 yards, 73.8/129, course/slope ratings with three shorter sets of tees.
