BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — An investigation is underway into what caused a fire at the South Park Golf Course Clubhouse on South Park Avenue near the Botanical Gardens.
The Buffalo Fire Department responded to the scene just after 11 p.m. on Tuesday.
Investigators said the fire caused significant damage with an estimated $250,000 in structural damage and an estimated $125,000 in damage to the contents.
In a post on Facebook, South Park Golf Club said: "While the building is not a total loss, it will in all likelihood be closed for the year. Thankfully, the new bathrooms and locker room appear to have come through the fire unscathed, though the front, ceiling and roof will all have to be replaced."
The golf club said the course is open for walking pass holders on Wednesday, and the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy is hoping to reopen for everyone else with carts on Thursday. The club championship scheduled for the weekend is still set to take place.
