Nestled throughout lush greenery, and riveting landscapes, Buffalo Rock Gold And Venue serves as the epicenter for a beautiful round of golf, an aesthetically splendorous site for special occasions, or as a meeting ground for a few friends looking to spend quality time together. Previously known to patrons as Buffalo Golf And Gun, and as Cushing Country Club years prior, the site has been in existence in various formats for many years. Undergoing extensive renovations throughout its recent history, the flourishing Buffalo Rock Golf And Venue now boasts state-of-the-art amenities, unparallelled service, and the capacity to masterfully arrange large-scale celebrations.

Acquired by multi-generational Cushing resident Rick Ahrberg, the site has undergone extensive adaptation to create a modern, sleek, and forward-thinking space that will undoubtedly continue to flourish. Rick has served as the President for namesake Ahrberg Milling, owned by the family since his father and brother purchased the company in 1960, then known as Hancock Feeds. As a graduate of Oklahoma State University’s School of Business, Ahberg’s unique assortment of pertinent experience within the realm of agriculture, combined with his education within business, has allowed Ahrberg to parlay various skills within the ownership role. As a lifelong Cushing resident who values quality time with his wife and five children, Ahrberg’s acquisition of Buffalo Rock Golf And Venue is a natural step in maintaining the community spirit of the area.

In considering community interactions, and bringing people together, Ahrberg has utilized Buffalo Rock’s extensive event space to its fullest potential. With rustic yet modern decor, and open space suitable for just about any occasion, trained hospitality staff assists clients in creating their vision for bespoke showers, parties, weddings, and celebrations. With full-service catering, planning services, and the ability to customize each experience, local events held at the venue are memorable, unique, and most importantly, housed in a venue that is already a part of the local landscape.
