Concord Crest Golf Course

East Concord sits in the rural hill country of Cattaraugus County, in the southwestern corner of New York State — a landscape of rolling farmland, wooded ridgelines, and the kind of quiet that's increasingly hard to find. This part of western New York doesn't draw the golf crowds that the Finger Lakes or the Adirondacks do, which means courses here tend to serve their local communities faithfully, without pretense.

Concord Crest fits that mold. An 18-hole layout playing to a par of 71, it carries the unhurried character typical of a rural upstate course — the sort of place where the terrain does much of the design work, and where a slightly uneven lie or a crowned fairway is accepted as part of the game rather than a complaint.

Playing golf in this corner of the state means contending with a short but genuine season, firm conditions by late summer, and the kind of exposed, breezy hillside holes that reward a low ball flight. If you know western New York golf, you know what to expect — and you likely appreciate it.
