My go to course
Course was soft and damp from recent storm, rough was thick and deep. I lost four balls in plain sight in that deep rough. Grass cumples on fairway also created problems. I will return when it drys up.
BC review
The course layout is enjoyable for most golfers. The greens are well maintained for the most part and spring ‘24 vandalism on 2 greens have recovered well. The Bermuda grass just off the fairway was too long when my group played twice over the past 2 weeks and “ate” three or four balls from each of us that should been findable; though we all found balls lost by others ahead of us. New management seems to be more focused on customer appreciation so BC continues to be one of my two regular courses based on location, layout, value and management.
Considering all the rain in this area from the Debby storm, the course was in remarkedably good condition.
Buffalo Creek
Great course for the value!
Staff terrific!
Pace of play very good!
Outstanding course for the money!
Great layout! Nice elevations on the greens…. rolling hills!
Great Staff
Love to play this course as it's difficulty level is suited for a beginner. They also have a driving range, putting and chipping site for practice.
Cow pasture nothing else
New management worst management. They didn't improve they made it worst. This should be a time where the course improves with the rain and weather. Don't waste your money or time. There was zero enjoyable like ZERO!
awesome staff
very nice course and the people that work here are awesome jason with carts wendy and scott inside jenny in the kitchen all very nice!!! would recommend this course to everyone!!! fun times!!!
Worst cow pasture in Manatee
There is nothing good to say, they changed management in April, I thought the previous people were just ok, but at least it was getting better slowly mind you. These guys are killing this course, when this should be a time to improve the course, it is getting worse by the day. Don't waste your money. The fairways are patchy, the greens have needed improvement for months yet they're worst, the tee boxes are a joke. The bunkers have no sand. Fill them or get rid of them. Even the normal upkeep like mowing is brutal uneven just a joke and mowing during the day while we're playing. This review will probably never see light of day as Golfnow reviews and doesn't post bad reviews. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Too bad it's a decent track, but that's what happens when the county sells the management to the cheapest company
My Round
The course is great shape. The greens were just airated so they were sandy and hard to play. A couple of greens still need some work to get to be 100%.
My biggest complaint is the second cut and third cuts. The grass is too thick. Balls not on the fairway are easily lost in the second cut. Very frustrating if you’re not a accurate driver. Who is?
We had rain, so the club house snack bar person went home. We could not get drinks or a bite to eat at the turn.
Otherwise it was a nice day at Buffalo Creek.
Slow play, I left after 11 holes.
Course had been aurated so the price was 30.00. That low a price brought out the hackers. I left after 11holes. No ranger.
Terrible course
Grass needs to be cut. Parts of course that were cut were uneven. Course smells like a septic field. Will not be going back.
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.
