Expect 6 hour rounds

They stack tee times every few minutes. If you come on a nice day you can expect to tee off 20-40 minutes late and wait for every shot. The course layout is fun but condition is mediocre at best. If they didn’t stack tee times the way they did it would be worth it

Maybe they forgot they're in hospitality

The started went out and brought me in with 2 holes left and 20 minutes of daylight left. I get it. You want to go home.. I am in hospitality as well and we never rush anyone out even when they show up as we are closing. With the course in just barely ok shape I would think they would cater to every customer to go above and beyond. I could have just finished and it would have taken the same amount of time as it took them to get every other golfer in.. I usually get done just fine before sunset. I'll take my business somewhere else

Course's in geat shape

Although I hate car path rules only, seeing the need for reseeding was evident. Every water drug was full and every ball cleaner was filled with soap and water as well. This is much unlike Buffalo Creek where the water jugs are dry and the ball washers are either empty or have no bristles.

Just watch the Southwest wind prediction. That plant will knock you out on the back nine. lol.

Won’t be back

Today I’ve seen something I have never seen before and it was a tensome playing! That’s right, a tensome! A group of 10 with 8 golf carts playing together on a Sunday at 3pm when it was busy. So obviously this backed up the entire course and had to skip 2 holes just to make it move. Who let this happen?! Course is also in terrible shape. A lot worse than last year that I remember. Won’t be back.

Pace of play is always an issue since they don’t have rangers. But, it’s a great course and the staff are fantastic

Vastly improved fairways...

.... but several greens still have rather large spots and patches of sand.

Driving range is open again all day long.

Good at summer rates

Great muni. Love the layout. Some greens are not good. If you avoid the Sandtraps on the greens. It's good.

An excellent golf value

Buffalo Creek has improved dramatically over the last several years. They have a new pro shop and the pro shop staff service is always friendly and professional.

Golf course playing conditions this season are the best I have ever seen. The fairways are in good shape and the Bermuda rough due to recent rains is healthy and to be avoided if you want to score well. The greens were recently aerated and sanded so they were naturally rolling true but slower than usual. The pace of play was excellent at 2 hours and 45 minutes for our twosome at mid-afternoon. The golf course has several strategic watering stations with bathroom facilities. The staff has continued to improve this golf course over the last several years and management should be commended.for these improvements.

First Time Playing

Great Muni

They had just punched but greens still ran pretty true. I think there were only two occasions where I feel a bump near the cup steered my ball wrong.

Hole number one fairway was really water logged like they had a sprinkler break to something.

The layout is really cool and we really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to play it again.

Renovated Pro Shop)Snack Bar

Buffalo Creek's fairways were cart path only due to recent heavy downpours. The staff needed to protect the fairways from cart traffic since they were still soft. Playing conditions were lift, clean, and place due to the soggy conditions on that day. But the course really needed the rain, consequently the fairways were in the best condition I have ever seen them. The greens ran true albeit slower than usual and with strong grain. The pace of play was excellent playing as a single in 2 1/2 hours.even with cart path only conditions.. The course was naturally playing very long due to the wetness. The practice pitching & chipping grass area was in good shape and despite the wet conditions the driving range was open. The practice putting green was well maintained and kept at the same ball speed pace as the rest of the golf course. Had a great time.

Excellent value!

The course, except so wet from all the rain, was excellent! The staff are courteous and very helpful. Could only get in 8 holes before a big storm came in. :(
