Comanche Trail Golf Course

Arrowhead at Comanche Trail Golf Course is an 18-hole layout designed by Bob Cupp and located in Amarillo, Texas. The course occupies terrain characteristic of the Texas Panhandle, where the landscape transitions from the flat High Plains into more varied topography shaped by erosion and natural drainage patterns. Cupp, known for his work with Jack Nicklaus before establishing his own practice, brought a design sensibility that emphasizes strategic options and natural land movement to this municipal facility. The routing takes advantage of the property's elevation changes and native vegetation, incorporating the rugged features typical of the region's canyon country. Players encounter holes that move through draws and across ridgelines, with the design encouraging thoughtful club selection and course management rather than relying solely on length. The layout reflects Cupp's preference for creating variety in hole character and presenting golfers with risk-reward decisions throughout the round. Comanche Trail Golf Course serves as Amarillo's primary municipal golf facility, offering public access to quality design in a region where golf infrastructure can be limited. The Arrowhead course operates alongside other layouts at the complex, providing options for players of different skill levels. The setting, removed from the urban core, allows the course to maintain a sense of openness and connection to the surrounding landscape that defines golf in the Texas Panhandle.
