Place needs to be mowed bad

Hit the ball barely off the fairway multiple times and couldn’t find ball because the grass is up to your knee. Greens also need to be mowed.

Decent for the $ but ...

Now that the seasonal rain has started the fairways are growing. Hopefully the staff will keep up with the mowing - lots unmown patches along the fairways when I played. Nice carts. No water in the coolers.

Dry Summer so Greens were good considering the dry weather. I enjoy the course layout and professional staff.

A little rough

Course was in pretty poor shape. Lots of burnt out fairways. Tee boxes were bare or shaggy. Not much in between. Greens in front were oversteered. It was priced accordingly for the conditions. I’m sure it will be back in shape soon.

Mixed Review

I have played this course many times in the past. Now I am a resident of the area and this is the first time I played the course in the one year since I’ve moved here. I was impressed that the course improve their carts, The last time I was here, the seats were torn and in bad shape this time the seats were excellent. The course itself, however, was not in the best condition. Lots of dry patches with no grass at all. Of course there’s nothing the course could do about the lack of water in the ponds, but because of that the aesthetics of the course are affected. The front nine, which on this day became the back nine all of the greens were being sanded so while I understand, that’s a necessity it’s always unfortunate when you play a course you haven’t played in a while to then have to play the greens in that condition. Overall on a scale of one to 10 for the day I will give the course a rating of four. I’ve played it when I would’ve rated it an 8, but on this particular day, four is about the best I’d rate it.

Local course

I enjoy going to this golf course especially on week days. The hot rates are amazing here because it is a fairly expensive course. I will play here for 20 bucks anytime!

Green again, yeaa

It's good to see the fairways and the ponds back to some degree of health. We got stuck behind a threesome that kept landing in zones where you shouldn't be looking for golf balls. They often spent 5, 6, 7 minutes or so searching for someone's ball... or just shopping.

They created a backlog so long that the two singles behind me caught up and now we're all waiting as a threesome..

It was good to see # 10 & 17 greens coming back. Nice job!

Fairly wide open

first off let me explain me not recommending the course. The reason is that the greens were extremely slow on any type of putt, uphill, downhill, it was horrendous. You can definitely play the course; my suggestion is that you wait a few weeks.

I was chastised by the guys in my group, because I picked the course for us to play. Other than the greens, the course is in decent shape and worth playing if you're a hacker. I have always enjoyed playing Buffalo and will return in a few weeks.

In bad shape

They started doing a bunch of work to this course but now it’s just like they decided to give up. It looks like crap! It won’t be long before this place goes out of business if they don’t get it together.

Pick up the pace

New management is doing great job improving conditions. Need to improve pace of play, always well over 4 hr rounds due to slow play. Even saw my first group of six yesterday. Luckily was not behind that debacle.

Good value

Considering the high cost of courses around here… this course with decent greens (some damage), some sandy patches in fairways and water logged sand traps it was a fun round of golf.

One of my favorites.

This is a long kind of challenging course. It is pretty open, but has plenty of hazards. You will have to play well and accurate of you want yo score well. There are places that you can slice or hook it 1 or 3 fairways over and still be good. Just makes the hole a lot harder. I enjoy Buffalo Creek and would recommend.
