Golf courses in Akron, NY.

Akron, NY

The Links at Ivy Ridge in Akron opened in 2005 on rolling farmland northeast of Buffalo, shaped by Canadian course builder Blaine Harrison in an open, Scottish links style. The par-72 course plays to roughly 7,000 yards from the back tees across four sets of tees. Firm, wind-exposed conditions set it apart from the parkland courses common in western New York. Its course record is held by 2015 U. S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, and the course remains open to public play.

Arrowhead Golf Club is located on about 164 acres of former farmland in Akron, New York, near Buffalo. Scott Witter designed the course, with the first nine holes opening in the fall of 2003 as part of a renovation and expansion project. The 18-hole layout plays to a par of 72, with four sets of tees and more than 60 sand bunkers, plus six man-made ponds and wetland areas that bring links-style wind and water into play. It served as a qualifying site for the 2005 U.S. Senior Open. Arrowhead operates as a public course with a pro shop, driving range and practice areas, and hosts leagues, outings and tournaments throughout the season.
