OnCore Golf Technology, Inc. is an American manufacturer ofgolf balls headquartered inBuffalo, New York.
Founded in 2009 by Steve Coulton and Bret Blakely, the company is known for creating the first and onlyUSGA-conforming hollow-metal-core ball in 2012.[1] OnCore has since released several other golf ball products, including theELIXR,[2] VERO X1,[3] and VERO X2[4] tour performance golf balls. OnCore has secured the sponsorship rights of theGateway Tour. The company relies primarily onword-of-mouth marketing for advertising and conducts much of its sales online.[5] Professional athletes such asEzekiel Elliott andJosh Allen have become shareholders in the company.[6][7]
In 2019, OnCore announced plans for a privately funded $30-million year-round sports entertainment complex along theBuffalo River on a formerbrownfield nearRiverworks andCanalside. The facility was to include a 72-hitting-bay golf entertainment center with food and beverages, 350 parking spaces, a 120-room hotel with meeting and event space, and year-round access to the river, in addition to attractions for children.[8][9] This project as planned was delayed due to theCOVID-19 pandemic,[10] then abandoned in 2023,[11] with the effects of the pandemic on the economy cited as a primary reason.[10] OnCore will instead build a smaller entertainment facility without the hotel inSouth Buffalo, with a similar facility also planned forKnoxville, Tennessee.[12]
