Buffalo Creek is a challenging layout but has gotten a lot of rain

Sometimes tough to tell the rough from the fairways and greens were incredibly slow

Remember only one green with turf damage

Once it dries out and they are able to cut the greens and the fairways, it should be good

Wet conditions today

Normally this is a nice course to play on. Unfortunately, on this day the course was wet and cart path only. They offered to reschedule but I decided to play and planned on walking a lot. The course was wet but did start to dry a bit by the afternoon.

Pace of play

Beautiful day for golf. However, the pace of play made the experience awful. Each hole, we had to wait at least 15 minutes before teeing off. The greens were rough, which made your putt bounce around. Lost several balls because we simply couldn't find it in the second cut. We spoke to the ranger and starter about people jumping holes, and the pace of the game, but the ranger insisted we were on a regular pace. Should of started some pairs or foursomes at hole 10.

Slow and Rude Staff.

Ranger abruptly interupts my buddy and I at Hole #9. He pulled right up in front of us mid game accuses us of slowing down the entire line of players behind us. We informed him an older couples group had us waiting five minutes for every hit up to the green/hole from T off to Hole all nine holes we played. We were on our last fairway hit to the green on Hole #9 and ranger told us to hurry up and didn't acknowledge our statement of the couples in front of us. He blew it off and angrily said hurry up.

We paid for 18 holes but decided it wasnt even worth playing the other 9 due to rude urgency to hurry up our game.

I don't think anyone wants to be rushed on a calm day of golf.

C+ course

Course price is good, club has very minimal. Staff is not friendly. Only the starter was from Boston. No cart girl but won’t allow coolers. Fairs good rough is deep needs to be cut. Tee boxes decent.

Needs attention

Grass needs mowing, losing balls 1 yard off fairway is ridiculous!

Ball washers had no water!

Water cooler was empty!

Small details can make or break the overall experience

Goat Ranch

Fairways and tee boxes were green, but the height of grass was not consistent of a quality course. Lost multiple balls that fell within 5' of fairway and fairways need to be cut lower. As said elsewhere, the greens were poor. That said, its worth the $25 that they charged, no more.

Play somewhere else

This course is in terrible shape, if you must play here lower your expectations, great course for practice but that’s about it, limited food options. The city/county needs to invest in this course

Slow play - poor conditions

Aerated greens no warning. Rough super thick. Played behind 2 groups thru 6 holes that clearly had no golf experience or knowledge of etiquette. We had to request to play through both groups. No ranger on staff to enforce pace of play on a Saturday afternoon. When myself and the other player in my group finished 18 - no one else had played through the slower groups - and they were on 11 when we finished the round. That slow. Bad.
