Needs Rain

Greens are in great shape, 2 greens which were vandalized are bouncing back are good. The rest of the course, like all courses in the area this time of year desperately needs rain. I don’t ever remember seeing lakes as dry as they are now. Still has nice day as humidity hasn’t gotten bad. Recommend you definitely give it a go.

Save your money and don’t trust the positive reviews

Let’s start at the beginning.

GolfNow showed a ton of tee times for 1-4 golfers showing the course would be not as busy. I knew I couldn’t call and verify because it sends you to a 3rd party tee time management company not on the premises. I decided to drive there and see how it looked in person being I’ve played here before and my round was 6 hours and 45 mins.

I arrive and there is a flood of people waiting for golf carts. Red flag #1. I walk in and ask the Pro Shop worker if it’s really busy today and he scoffs and says yeah. I tell him I’m just going to hit up the driving range instead of wasting a ridiculous amount of time on a round. He then argues with me saying I haven’t played a round over 6 hours there and that would be impossible. Don’t worry bud, I have the receipts.

I get my balls and head to the range which is now “mats only.” They used to allow you to use the grass but they do such a poor job maintaining it that they can no longer offer it. Guys are still hitting off the turf and other golfers are yelling at each other.

As I’m hitting my balls, I hear yelling from one of the workers at another worker. He grabs a golf cart and tears through the grass, screaming obscenities at the starter. He berates him in front of the entire course on hole 1 and continues to curse him out as he does a quick 180 on the golf cart, tires squealing. He continues to yell at him through his walkie talkie which all of us can hear.

I decided to not hit the rest of my balls because I can’t even focus at this point.

I lastly want to point out that their “chipping” area is a complete joke. It’s a pile of dirt with a flag sticking out of the top of it and weeds growing all around. No grass at all. Just dirt and weeds.

Save yourself the money and headache. Go somewhere where the staff treat visitors, coworkers and the course with respect and dignity. This place isn’t it.

Tried and true

I’ve played here for years and have always enjoyed the course and conditions. I have to pat the greens superintendent for maintaining the course in great shape.

Greens are a little rough

A few greens have been damaged. Plus the weeds on the greens not acceptable. Have played Buffalo Creek several times this year but it looks like they are letting it go not a great course more of a 25 to 30 dollar track

Despite no rain ..

... The course is in pretty good shape, especially the greens. Holes #10 and 17 greens are getting better after the vandalism. Still sad to see the water so low.
