Gone down hill

Used to be my go to course but this last time course was in awful shape. Seemed like it hasn’t been mowed in weeks. Pace was slow because it took everyone so long to find their ball. Took 5min to find a ball 5 yards off the green. It’s a shame, hopefully they can turn it around.

The creek

Played early afternoon, pace was great, hardly anyone out there, course was in ok shape, greens were good which is important, was real wet due to rain but that’s summer golf. Rough hadn’t been mown in a long time. Maybe they are hosting the US Open next year lol Love the creek, will be back.

HIT 'EM STRAIGHT

Keep the ball in the fairway. If it lands in the rough, it's gone. Lost more balls in 1 round here than I've lost all year.

And the ants....

If you have a bad reaction to ant bites, be careful.

Great course & people. Wish they'd address a couple of issues.

Trashed

This is my home course so I’ve played here very often. It hadn’t been mowed. It was awful. You would lose the ball 1 foot out of the fairway. Bunkers had grass growing in all of them. I know it’s a county course but I’ve played here a lot and this was easily the worst I’ve ever seen it

Rough Condition

The rough was overgrown throughout the course. Heard from someone there that they're missing a mower attachment. That makes it 2 weeks in a row that the conditions were almost unplayable. If you were off the fairway by a foot, it was probably a lost ball.

Grass was too high

The grass was not cut properly. The first cut was too high. Lots of lost balls because grass not far from fairway and around some trees and sand were not cut. Hey guys…this is not the open. 🥴

Mow the grass!

I’ve never been more disappointed than I was today. There’s no reason to spend 1 hr out of a rd looking for golf balls. I’m talking golf balls that HIT the fairway and maybe roll off no more than 2 feet. Lost 6+ balls that at any time would be easy to find. Rain is no excuse. No other course has this issue. Fix it…..

Love playing Buffalo Creek

Buffalo Creek is a great course to play from beginner to advanced. Staff is nice, pace of play is decent. If I was to mention one negative as minor as it is, the rough just off the fairway and greens is pretty high right now. It did rain so that may be why, however it was hard to track any ball that was not directly in the fairway.

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.

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.
