Tough local course

Again my wife and I use our Golf Pass to explore local areas. We should have known at the rate being charged this was probably not going to be somewhere we'd come back to. Course conditions were fair at best

Greens were very rough, burned out and weedy in some spots. The pace of play was very slow we were behind a group obviously struggling with golf and unaware slower players should let groups through they are holding up.

Sorry we won't be visiting Buffalo Creek again.

Buffalo has been and still is a great course to play.

Great challenging course with hazards everywhere. Buffalo was in great condition and the staff are excellent from check in through to the cart guy. We arrived a little early but the starter told us to follow the next group out. As always the course was in excellent shape and we all had a great day. Thank you Buffalo again

Played here for years

Course in pretty good shape considering the hurricane damage. Lots of big trees down. Didn't affect play. Some greens were in bad shape...others were good.

Chubbs sighting.

The course was in pretty decent shape. A few greens were a little rough but otherwise was in good shape.

Hole 6 we came across the huge gator “Chubbs” fun to see and glad we were not too close.

We had golf cart only due to some overseeing. Pace of play was still pretty good.

Good shape

For having suffered through 2 hurricanes, the course was in really good shape. There was still some debris everywhere but nothing enter feared with play. The new course management is doing a great job of getting the course back into shape.

Good value for the money

We played about 2 weeks after hurricanes Helene and Milton. There were still a few big oaks down, but they didn't interfere with play. Overall the course is in good shape.

Buffalo Creek Could Be Better

My GolfNow tee time was for 2 in the pm. When I signed in at the pro shop they had a sign that said 'Cart Paths Only". That really made for a very slow round as we waiting for the group in front to walk between the golf path and their 4 balls. Consequently, it was painfully slow. The course was in poor shape. The greens did not appear to have been mowed and were very slow and bumpy. Hard to get a true roll under those conditions. We were told we couldn't tee off the front nine and had to start on the back nine. In addition, they closed the driving range and the practice green the moment we arrived.. Alas, if Buffalo Creek wants my future business they better get their act together..

Cow Pasture with apologies to cow pastures

To call this a cow pasture, is an insult to cow padtures!!

Since new management has taken over, it has gotten brutal.

But it doesn't matter what I write, Golf Now is complicit with these brutal courses. They never publish negative reviews. I can say this, if my review doesn't get published I with file a complaint with the government for falsifying reviews! It shouldn't be called a golf course!! Nothing good, not the fairways, not the tee boxes, not the sandtraps, not the greens oh those are atrocious. The staff are very nice. Fire the management

Still Recovering From Hurricane But Fun Round & Well Worth The Money

Played weekend morning round, booking as a single. Was paired with another single & played as a twosome. Finished in under 4 hours, which included a 15 minute wait at the turn. Course was not in it’s usual good condition due to storm related damage, but was very playable. Staff members Chris (inside/register), Joe (starter) & Dave (carts) were friendly & accommodating. Would recommend this course and look forward to returning soon.
