The course is in probably the best condition that I have seen in a long time. The greens were a little rough and need more work. I love this course.

Great fairways!

The fairways are in great shape. The greens need some work but I am sure they are working on them. It’s just a nice course to play.

Fusion Management

Fusion Management is now operating Manatee and Buffalo Creek Golf Course. What a vast difference in courses. Buffalo Creek needs help on greens. Also on training starters.

The course is in nice shape. The fairways are nice and green and grass is cut. The greens need some work but appears they are working on it.

Watch for mowers

Had to wait for mowers to mow instead of mowers waiting for us too okay. Greens are bumpy but stated they over seeded. I had to question bare marks on greens. Oh well!

When the say over seeding that weren't playing around!

This is already a big golf course for us older farts at almost 6800 yds adjusted from the white tees and add 2" of over seeding in the what was supposed to be fairways it played even longer and slow. Greens are slow and I understand that be the norm, in need of a mow and roll.

Otherwise typical Florida Muny!
