Used to be in better shape
Was kind of disappointed in the shape the course was in. Way better shape two years ago when I played it. Special the greens need work. Staff was very pleased and helpful.
Mixed review
Overall course was fun and good value. Too bad the greens were terrible. They almost looked like someone was dancing on them with metal cleats. Full of bumps. Too bad. I’d go back if the greens were better.
Course in great shape
New Managing group can be seen with the course condition and attitude of staff.

Great staff
Right on time
Less than a 4 hour round
Perfect golf

Buffalo Creek
Despite the windy conditions and a bit of rain we enjoyed the course. Some of the greens were in some rough condition, but not overly so. The snack bar was closed, so we found that odd. Overall we did like the condition of the fairways and tee boxes.
If you find time to play Buffalo Creek I would advise to do so.
Good value for the price
Buffalo creek is a nice course to play. The fairway and green conditions are acceptable, even though I think they paint the areas to keep it green. Friendly staff, a lot of carts, good practice facilities. The only problem is the pin settings. Write tee is 6400 and yellow tee is 5700. I hope they can have something in the middle to fit my distance. It’s a fun course I will go back.
Value
If you expect a course around $50 to be perfect condition it's not for you. Maybe this is the new normal. Majority of the course as expected. This course gets a lot of play. Spots on a few greens without grass. You can tell it's something they are trying to fix. More work to be done for sure.
We liked the course. The course conditions were good.
Registration was frustrating and confusing between the Golf Now, Manatee County and Big Summer card rates. It was a waste of time trying to price compare. The Manatee County rates and times should be synced with Golf Now. When you call the Pro Shop they should mention other discounts that are available.
Greens have some problems. But enjoyed our round. Pace of play was good.
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!!!
mr
