Customer Reviews

Awesome place. Cheektowagas newest hidden gem. From the decor, to the games, putt-putt everything was so neatly thought out. I've played a lot of putt-putt and this course is by far the best one. The snack food they offer is great and reasonably priced too. Talked to the owner for a bit and his future ideas will keep this place around. Don't forget to get your free pictures from the Photo Booth! Definitely a place you need to go!

If you've ever played Golf With Your Friends, you'll love this course. So many of the holes were reminiscent of ones from the game. The food and drink system works great so that you can grab drinks as you golf. The course is compact, but not short... It's a full 18 holes and took a little over an hour for our group of 3 to play through with no waiting for others to finish. One of our party also wanted me to state that the Hotty Totty was delicious. Highly recommend!!!

our niece and her kids were in town, so we decided to stop in. this place is fantastic for kids and adults, lots of games and activities to do. we all ordered from the menu, and the food was good. what a great place to hang out during the hot summer days. we all had a great time and will definitely be back.

Phenomenal Place!! Brought the whole family! everyone had something to do between arcade , mini golf, Photo Booth, board games, pool table and ?lawn? games! Such a captivating and welcoming place ! Highly recommend for EVERYONE! Family, friends, date night, hangout and parties! This ! Is ! The ! Place !

5 adults went there and had a blast! The old school games and the amazing mini golf-simply so much fun! I don't even live in the area any longer so when I am back in town I'm taking the kids! So much fun for an ages! Great atmosphere

The CCC is a vibrant, fun place to take your family or just hang out with friends. Their two seating areas with couches are cozy and really give off a great 70s charm--the fireplace reminds me of the one in my grandparent's basement! The mini golf has fun, unique holes. Some are relatively easy and some are quite a challenge. The food was good and the variety of drinks was a beautiful sight to behold. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to try a cool new place in Buffalo.

Had an amazing time! Great food and drinks paired with a wonderful staff ?? we played mini golf and almost all the games they had it house and ended up staying for hours till they closed ???? 10/10 for group activities, family gatherings and date nights!

Place was fun! They had games in addition to mini golf. The golf was challenging but fun. Good selection of adult beverages. Darlene was attentive and made the round of golf more interesting.

Cheektowaga Country Club is an absolute hidden gem! The groovy 70s-style indoor putt putt course, vintage arcade games, classic jukebox, and lively bar create a nostalgic, one-of-a-kind experience you won't find anywhere else. Perfect for date nights, group outings, or just reliving the good old days!

We went to mini golf on a Tuesday night, had a few drinks, played some games and grabbed a bite to eat. Everything was reasonably priced, the atmosphere is very relax. Not too loud, not too quiet that everyone is ease dropping on each other. All around a good time. The food was good and the mini golf holes were all very unique. We will definitely be back again.

Place is great! I came with a big group of family, adults and kids. Everyone has a great time. The arcade games were fun and the kids liked the golf and bean bag game. Put Put was fun and the photo booth half way through is a cool touch.

This place is amazing. We will absolutely take our out of town guests here. The vibe is chill, the games are endless, the staff is professional, and the drinks are before-tariff style prices. The games are awesome. The put put area is well thought out (the Peace Bridge hole is a perfect representation of Buffalo). A lot of thought was put into this place; from the decor, to the games, to the drink and food menu. Thumbs up, dude.

Such a cool place. Played mini golf with my seven year old and had a blast. The most unique mini golf I've ever played. The only downfall is the course is so condensed that it feels cramped. The assortment of free activities such as a pool table, tables for card games, comfy couches, a super Nintendo with a variety of games and other activities. We didn't try the arcade games as those required change/cash. We will be back!

Great new venue for foosball in Buffalo with 2 custom tables. Right by the airport - make it your first stop when you land!

Great food, nostalgic atmosphere & this mini golf is way different and cooler than any other. The staff are super friendly and attentive. My new favorite place.

A cool new local place to hang out- the retro lounge areas are really fun, staff is friendly and the indoor mini golf is an added bonus!

This place is great. I've been a few times but just missed the club pro, cheektowaga charlie, each time. Word is he's got the secret to fix your swing. You definitely want to stop in and setup a lesson if you can. But the place is anything you want it to be. Chill, fun, vibrant. It's got something for everyone. I'd bring my kids or your mom. 5 star fun for all ages.

Great food, nostalgic atmosphere & this mini golf is way different and cooler than any other. The staff are super friendly and attentive. My new favorite place.

Just walking in the door gives flashbacks to spending time with my cousins at my grandmother's house. Such a neat idea for those who grew up in and around Cheektavegas. The golf course was small, but fun and challenging. We'll definitely be back!

This is one of the coolest places that is around for mini golf. Plus they have a couple of arcade machines, pool tables, and foosball tables. Did not look at the food but they also have a bar and food there to eat. Will go back it is close to home for me.

So much fun, great food and very friendly!

We had a great time! The mini golf course is a lot of fun and really unique!

A fun atmosphere to grab a drink and hang out. Lots of fun arcade games plus mini golf!

Fun afternoon spot! Year-round mini-golf with the family. Unique holes and fun place!

Absolutely amazing! Had a blast here. They hosted an amazing event for us and we cannot wait to return.

Great owner, awesome layout, and some unique greens. As 2 adults, we had a great time, with a nice selection of beer, seltzer, and mixed drinks. Also offers a great selection of arcade games and darts. Owner is very nice and accommodating as well!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
