Buffalo's South Park Botanical Gardens were designed by landscape architect Fredrick Law Olmsted, who also designed New York City's Central Park. His designs for Buffalo's parks including Front Park (now Delaware Park), Parade Park (now Martin Luther King Park), and South Park were displayed at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia.
The glass conservatory is a tri-domed steel frame building based on the Crystal Palace and Kew Gardens Palm House in England. It was one of the largest public greenhouses in the country. It was completed in 1899 and gained national fame during the 1901 Pan American Exposition. Less than a dozen Victorian greenhouses survive today.
In addition to the glass conservatory, the park was designed with a large pond for boating, numerous walking paths, a ring road for horse carriages and a bandstand for public performances. Alas, the boat dock, bandstand and walking paths were never built. The ring road is now paved for cars. A nine-hole golf course was added to the property in 1915. It probably sees more visitors now than the conservatory does. :(
Clues:
A really bad slice on the seventh tee could send your ball into the pond.
But if you're lucky, you won't have to go any further than the hollow log.
