Club Membership Benefits
Club Membership is $160 annually for all members including new members. Note that this does not include greens fees nor carts as those are purchased from the Town of Tonawanda who operates the golf course.
Club Members are entitled to:
- Enjoy Fair, Friendly Competition - with approximately 135 other golf enthusiasts at arguably the most-challenging and interesting municipal golf course in Western NY.
- Get an Official USGA Handicap which allows them to play in all Club tournaments as well as regional and national golf events hosted the NY State Golf Association and other organizations like WNY Publinks.
- Play in all Club Tournaments - we hold three types of tournaments and all members are entitled to play in all of them:
- Major tournaments - in 2025 we will hold nine of these - two are match play. All but one of the tournaments (the one being individual President's Cup match play tournament) involve a reserved set of tee times on weekends and everyone plays at the same time. The Club hosts post tournament gatherings either in the Clubhouse or in Sheridan Park after many of these events where members can grab something to eat or drink while socializing as scores come in. Some of these tournaments require an additional nominal tournament fee which goes directly to prizes for the event and also have both skins and closest-to-the-pin contests for an additional fee.
- Match Play tournaments - two of the major tournaments are match play. One is individual match play and the other is a 2-man team match play. Members sign up and are slotted into a single elimination bracket. Matches continue throughout the season until winners of each handicap class are determined and an overall champion is determined.
- Weekly tournaments - each week from Memorial Day to Labor Day we hold a weekly tournament. These allow members to play their "tournament round" anytime during the week as long as they play with another member who scores their round. You can only play your weekly tournament round once each week and must sign up in the Clubhouse prior to starting that tournament round.
- Most tournaments are played at full handicap and most have either 3 or 4 different handicap classes (skill levels) to allow members of varying skill levels to compete fairly. All tournaments award prizes for the top two or three finishers, depending on the tournament. For major tournaments, these are typically Golf Galaxy gift cards and for weekly tournaments they are Gift Cards donated by our sponsors.
- Opportunity to Qualify to represent our Club at Ryder-Cup style Tournaments like
- Sheridan/Elma Meadows Challenge - played against the Elma Meadows Club
- Publinks Team Championship - played each summer against a dozen other local Golf Clubs at Hyde Park
- Attend Club Parties - in 2025 we will hold two parties that include a catered dinner, non-alcoholic beverages, and door prizes. Members who want alcoholic beverages will need to bring their own. There is an additional fee charged for each party to help defray the cost of renting the facility and for the food and beverage. You can either add the fee to your membership dues or pay it at the door when you arrive.
- Spring Party - $20
- Fall Party - $20
- Participate in a Hole-in-1 Pool - for an optional $10, members can participate in a Hole-in-1 Pool which awards a share of the Pool to members who have a Hole-in-1 at Sheridan that is witnessed and attested to by a fellow Club member. Depending on how many members get in, the pool typically ranges around $1,200 and we typically have two or three members split it.
