New Management, New Look: Buffalo Rock Golf And Venue

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.

In addition to the various amenities upgrades, there have also been vast recent improvements that will take the golf experience to the next level. Through extensive agricultural upkeep, Buffalo Rock Golf And Venue’s lush lawns have historically provided a picturesque backdrop, and a pristine golfing environment. Ahrberg’s recent investment into a full fleet of top-of-the-line Yamaha EFI Electronic Fuel Injection golf cars has allowed for players to show up in style, in the company’s newest release of golf cars with the lowest decibel output available. At almost 45 MPG, fewest emissions, and up to 76% less pollutants than competing cars, Ahrberg’s investment in the newest lineup of cars is a meaningful way to provide guests with a luxury experience, while maintaining choices conscious of the environment.

Understanding the importance of modern technology, and ways it can integrate with his business, Ahrberg’s commitment to engaging customers, as well as the general public, has led to the ongoing creation of web content, increased social media presence, and advancements that have streamlined operations.
