Worn out greens

Course is getting old. Some of the greens need work. But for the price it's worth playing

Great improvement with change in management

Wow! A recent management change at Buffalo Creek has resulted in a great improvement.

1. The staff could not have been more friendly & helpful. Pro shop, Restaurant, Cart guys & starter were all great, friendly & helpful!

2. The course was in good shape & most importantly there were maintenance crews on the cousre making additional repairs and improvements. Tee Boxes in good shape, fairways in overall good shape and the greens had some bare spots but were being attended to by staff.

If every golfer used the divot seed mix they provide the fairways would be even better shape.

Great improvements!!!

The fairways and tees are in great shape but the greens need help many have spots filled with green sand

Course is a fun track to play but the course needs some work, especially on the greens and tee boxes.
