Buffalo

Course was busy as usual. Course shows the wear of the busy season. I like this course. Greens are challenging. Didn’t see any gators which is unusual but did see a big flock of parrots

Course in Good shape.

Tee boxes, fairways in good shape. Several greens looked rough and looks like they are reseeding. Also needs watering.

Considering drought, course is in good shape, not my game though.

Will play again.

Great layout.

Great layout. Course was in good condition but Some of the greens were not in great shape. Pace was very slow. Definitely need a ranger to keep pace of play quicker. Overall, a good experience. Would recommend 😎

Course conditions

The course layout was nice. Staff was very friendly. Driving range mats were terrible like hitting off of concrete. Fairways and the tee boxes were in good shape. But the greens were terrible. I will not be going back there this year. If you get a good price off of T. off, it might not be a bad place to play, but if not don’t pay full price

Absolutely deplorable conditions

Poorly administered and terribly maintained.. Worse course that I have ever played in 50 years!!This is not an egalitarian..Greens had very little grass and most of the course was just brown sand..

What happened to the greens?

The course is in overall good shape. The greens are a disaster.

Needs Work

If you are going to raise prices, take the extra income and fox the greens. Eveything else is in playable shape but theres no excuse for the greens to be as bad as they are. Come on……do better

Greens need work

Fairways were in good shape. I've always like the layout there. However the greens are in very bad shape.
