About this course

Arrowhead Golf Club sits in Akron, a small town in western New York roughly midway between Buffalo and Rochester. The course was designed by Scott Witter, a regional architect who has worked primarily in the northeastern United States and is known for creating playable layouts that suit the rolling terrain common to upstate New York. The property reflects the agricultural character of the surrounding Erie County landscape, with open farmland views and modest elevation changes that provide natural movement to the routing. The design emphasizes strategic variety rather than extreme length or difficulty, making it accessible to a range of skill levels while still presenting thoughtful decisions off the tee and into greens. Witter's approach typically incorporates the existing land features without extensive earthmoving, so the course likely follows the natural contours of the site with fairways that bend gently through the property and greens that take advantage of subtle slopes for interest and drainage. Arrowhead serves the local golfing community in the Akron area, offering a straightforward test of golf in a rural setting. The club operates as a public or semi-private facility, providing regular play for area residents and visitors exploring courses in the Buffalo region. The layout fits comfortably within the tradition of accessible daily-fee golf that defines much of western New York's golf landscape, where practical design and reasonable green fees meet the needs of recreational players.

Getting there

The journey to Arrowhead Golf Club begins at Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF), situated roughly thirty minutes to the northwest, or alternatively through Rochester International (ROC) for those departing from the eastern corridor. From either hub, the drive unfolds through the rolling farmland and small towns of western New York, a gentle transition from urban sprawl into the quieter countryside that defines this corner of the state. The final approach to Akron carries you past pastoral landscapes and tree-lined country roads, where the club's manicured grounds emerge as a refined sanctuary set apart from the surrounding rural character. For those with access to private aviation, the nearby Genesee County Airport provides a discreet alternative, positioning you within minutes of the clubhouse.
