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.
Terrible condition
The ruff was not cut for days or weeks. Lost two ball off the first tee just off the fairway. Course looks like they are about the shut it down
Good Layout, Been In Better Shape
Not sure what is going on, but this is the worst condition I have seen the course in over the last several years. Some of the ponds are extremely low which is surprising given all the rain we have had this summer. The rough was high, but this was understandable given the recent rains and soft conditions. The cart and pro shop staff were very friendly. I hope they can get things turned around, because this is a nice track to play.
Grass
Grass was not cut. Lost balls in areas that should have been cut. I did not enjoy the round.
Golf
A little disappointing this course it's late at several times as iffy when it's in good shape it's a great cost to play right now The only hole that I found that was complete with greens and fairway t boxes was whole number one otherwise needs plenty of work in the rough as crazy although it's been raining a lot I understand that pot but the fairways are not good and neither of the greens Good luck in the future I will be back but I'm going to give you time to make repairs
Course was ok, but will be better when the rough is cut
