Over booked

The layout is great, condition was okay. The greens were pretty beat up but rolled good. The pace of play is ridiculously slow. Minimum of 3 groups on every tee. There is a ranger but I am not sure why. He’s definitely not doing his job.

Good overall. Course oversold. Slow on front, especially first 5 holes. Pace picked up on back. Good price for Tampa area in winter.

You are obviously over booking or booking tee times too close together. 5 1/2 hours is way too long to play a round of golf. Takes the enjoyment out of the game.

Rates are too high not to not to expect a better round of golf.

Everything was fine except pace of play. Didn’t start for about 45 minutes after scheduled tee time and had to wait to tee off on all 18 holes. Still love golfing at Buffalo Creek though!

Severely over booked!!

Been going to Buffalo Creek for over 10 years. Yesterday (1/27/24) was my last time going there for sure. Booked a 9:41 tee time and was given a 10:08 start time when we showed up. Approximately 8 foursomes went off in front of our 9:41 tee time. Total horse crap!! Good bye Buffalo Creek forever!! I highly recommend everyone go somewhere else!! They're management booking tee times and course management of pace of play is an absolute JOKE!! If you enjoy 5 and a half hour rounds and teeing off a half hour after you book your round, go to Buffalo Creek every round you book and enjoy mystery on a golf course!!
