“Where Friends Invite Friends”
We are excited that you have taken the time to enter our site to learn more about Membership opportunities at Brierwood. We thank you for doing that because we do have some openings in our Membership roster that we certainly want to talk to you about.
We are proud to be an Arnold Palmer Golf Managed Private Club because we run under the philosophy of Partnering with our members in order to help facilitate the fulfillment of the Members’ vision for their Club. This partnership is exampled by our enrollment process of “Membership by Invitation Only”. This means that every new Member who enrolls in any of our Clubs is sponsored by, and receives an invitation from, a Member of the Club. This is a prideful tradition and ensures all of our New Members are families that will enhance our Membership roster and the camaraderie of the Club. Although, we take great pride in the many amenities and services that our Clubs offer, our most valuable asset is our Members.
Should you be interested in membership with us, we would like to extend an invitation for you to come out and experience our Club firsthand. Please let me contact you to schedule a personal club visit and learn more about our current membership opportunities.

CLUB HISTORY
In 1956 Bethlehem Steel Co. acquired 400 acres on Rogers Road between Cloverbank Rd. and Amsdell Rd. for the Bethlehem Management Club. The club was established in 1958 and built in 1959. Bethlehem Management along with course architects Gordon and Gordon constructed this 18 hole, 7061 yard championship layout. The Club was solely used by Bethlehem employees and their families as their personal playground. Many enjoyed laying by the pool and swimming, while others teed it up on the golf course. A 12 lane bowling alley was designed and built along with the Clubhouse, as well as two private tennis courts, a basketball court, and horseshoe pits.
In 1987 E.F. Burke Development Co. purchased the club, renaming it Brierwood Country Club. Under Burke ownership an addition to what is now the Members' Grille Room was completed making it Bobby O'Briens, which was open to the public. Burke made another addition to the Main Dining Room, which is now known as the Ballroom and Living Room / Garden Room.
In June of 1997 Arnold Palmer Golf Management bought Brierwood Country Club. Reflecting on the value of a membership at Brierwood Country Club, Arnold Palmer said it best, "Every member of my staff is committed to the enthusiastic pursuit of quality and guest service." Mr. Palmer added, "In every aspect of our business, we strive to exceed the member's expectations of what a golf experience should be...and the very best it can be."
It was with this vision that our General Manager Steve Esposito assembled a team of service professionals committed to excellence in every aspect of the Membership experience. Our Private Members' Grille Room has seen many improvements over the past year, including the addition of our new Head Chef. Ed O'Donnell has worked at many of Buffalo's finest restaurants such as Oliver's, Hutch's, and Tsunami. On behalf of the entire staff, we thank you for visiting Brierwood Country Club online.
