Golf in Akron

Akron is a village in Erie County in western New York, northeast of Buffalo in the Tonawanda Creek watershed. The Akron area occupies flat to gently varied glacial terrain of Erie County's northern interior, between the Buffalo metro and Niagara County to the north. The community sits within a network of small towns that dot the Erie County landscape northeast of the city. Akron has a notable concentration of golf for its size, with four courses — Arrowhead Golf Club, Destroyer Park Golf, Rothlands Golf Course, and The Links at Ivy Ridge — serving the Erie County community north of Buffalo.
