The club was founded by Niagara Falls businessman Frank A. Dudley, who served as president for four terms.

The club has panoramic views of the Towns of Lewiston and Porter (the latter includes the Village of Youngstown) as well as Niagara-on-the-Lake, St. Catharines and Toronto in Canada.

Past champions of the Porter Cup include PGA Tour stars Phil Mickelson, David Duval, Scott Verplank and Ben Crenshaw.
