Nice beginning before rain

The course is in decent shape with nice fairways and decent greens. Some areas of the Greens are under repair.

Our Round was interrupted by rain after playing 11 holes. We continued thru 15 holes and stopped due to too much water in the fairway and on the greens.

Not enough carts

We did not finish our game because we started 20 minutes after our tee time because they did not have enough carts.

Buffalo Creek has as many as 80 carts in service each day which is plenty of cart. Depending on start time and playing ability, afternoon times may wait on carts.

No carts

Course ran out of carts. We did not tee off until 1 hour after our scheduled tee time. Pace was incredibly slow because of this and could not finish 18 holes

Very crowded course!!!

We had a tee time at 1:11. Waited for a cart for an entire hour. Could not even hit balls while waiting. Range was closed due to broken mahcinery. We teed off finally at 2:15. After 1 hour, we were finally going to tee off on the THIRD hole! 3 hours for the front nine!! Paid for 18 hole. Got in 13 before darkness hit.

WAY TOO CROWDED golf course. They only have 7 minutes between tee times, which causes all the jam ups & sooooo much waiting!!! Never again!

Awful golf course and worst staff

The old lady thinks she owns the golf course. Pace is super slow and course is not well maintained. Poor Management

What a joke!

The golf course management overbooked the tee times, spacing between tee times was only 4 minutes. Had a tee time of 12:01 and did not tee off until 12:49. I was hoping after a few holes the pace of play would start to pick up, unfortunately it did not. We passed the “ranger” on hole six and he was straight staring at his phone the whole time. Nice effort with the pace of play! Finished the round right at 6:00pm. Even if the pace of play was not painfully slow, the golf course does not command a $78.00 green fee for what you get. Recommend you play anywhere else. I award you no points, and we are all now dumber for playing this course!

Overbooked

Not sure what happened today but tee times were definitely messed up. There was a delay due to fog but it wouldn’t have backed up the course like it did. Never had this issue before with this course. Golf now didn’t match their tee times. Waited on every hole and only was able to play 9 holes due to the time and other commitments.

PACE OF PLAY

We booked for 1:53 tee off, 3 of us. There were no carts available and upon returns of finishing golfers, they would give you there cart. We asked if there was a Marshall/Ranger working and the staff said te and said they were on time and we would get our round in. We were 25 minutes late due to the incoming carts and the amount of people waiting to tee off. During play we waited up to 10 minutes between holes. We didn’t get our round in and wasn’t happy when were told there was a Marshall on the course and for the 14 holes we played due to darkeness, 6:30 EStT, we never seen a Marshall

Overbooked - 5+ hour round

Knew we were in for a long day when I saw the line of carts at first hole. 104pm tee time equaled 140pm start. Waited on every hole. Finished in the dark at 640 pm. Greens were decent and fareways were okay but... 5 hours and 10 minutes equals too much time. Trash cans were overflowing, bathrooms were fairly clean. Expected better.

Slow play course

I have done a few reviews on the course before. Most of the times before my reviews have been favorable, not this time.

If you do not have a ranger to push people along after over booking to the point you run out of carts, you then have a recipe for poor management.

Then you send out the brains of the outfit CJ or AJ to come out to the 17th hole and tells my group that we must be playing slow, because the green is open, what a joke.
