BC

I played 18 holes in three hours, which is what wanted to do. Better practice playing 18 holes than going to the range. It is why I go to Buffalo Creek.

Love this golf course

Challenging course with a great layout. Cart staff is the only things that need improvement. Not the type of service I am used to.

First cut rough too rough

The course was waiting on a new mower to cut the rough properly. Balls were getting lost within a few feet of fairways!

My normal overall rating for this course is ****.

Buffalo Creek

Great course for the value!

Rough was recently mowed with some clumps of grass

Some work needed on a few greens and tee boxes as well as fairways

Good course layout and staff was great!

MOW THE ROUGH !!!!!!

The course is and has been pretty good shape. Aside from the typical work being done on greens this time of year, it’s been in nice shape. I gave the course conditions only 3 stars because the rough is ridiculously long! Only feet off the fairway you can’t find your ball. Areas where you might be off the mark a bit swallow up

balls when typically you would have a shot out of. Bring plenty of balls.

Good Layout, Been In Better Shape

Not sure what is going on, but this is the worst condition I have seen the course in over the last several years. Some of the ponds are extremely low which is surprising given all the rain we have had this summer. The rough was high, but this was understandable given the recent rains and soft conditions. The cart and pro shop staff were very friendly. I hope they can get things turned around, because this is a nice track to play.

A little disappointing this course it's late at several times as iffy when it's in good shape it's a great cost to play right now The only hole that I found that was complete with greens and fairway t boxes was whole number one otherwise needs plenty of work in the rough as crazy although it's been raining a lot I understand that pot but the fairways are not good and neither of the greens Good luck in the future I will be back but I'm going to give you time to make repairs

Got milk?

The only thing missing from the course was cows. Greens were below average, burnt spots on most holes, tee boxes shaggy. The grass was a foot high or more anywhere off the fairway. (Not a links course) Any ball hit off the fairway was gone. Very coarse and high grass and scrub around all hazards sand/water. I’ve played the course in the past and it’s never looked this bad. A city course less than five miles away looked like Augusta compared to this. (I played both this week). Very poor groundskeeping. You can’t blame the weather when other nearby courses look much better.

Ruff Uncut

Lost more balls in the ruff being that it was long. Not worth the price I paid because of this. I would have played another course. I am a returning golfer as I like the course layout and the friendly staff. I'm sure at some point the ruff will be cut, but before I reserve a T-Time. I will make sure the ruff is in fact cut.

They haven’t mowed in quite some time. Kids finding your ball goodbye if you ball rolls off fairways or greens.

This course is fun but lacks maintenance

Me and a buddy recently played here and the course is fun and the layout is good but the grass in the rough was way to long and we struggled to find our balls even if they were just a few yards from the fairway.

Please cut your grass

You go from fairway to 8 inch rough. If you hit the ball 5 yards of of the greens you will lose your ball. They need to take better care of the course. They should charge only $20 for 18 in that condition

Buffalo Creek

I like the layout of this course. The office staff I spoke to on arrival is, just not very talkative and answers questions in a very terse manner. The cart staff is very friendly and cordial. The course itself is not very well kept, minimal fairway grass to hit off, it just does not live up to its rating as far as other courses in the area. While the cost of playing Buffalo Creek was very economical, I only play this course maybe once every season because of the ‘grass less’ fairways and the office staff,
