Great course.

Buffalo Creek is a very nice course. The layout is awesome with all kinds twist and turns. It’s in very good shape. The staff were incredibly nice. Very helpful. The greens were nice (I didn’t have my best putting day. The greens keeper set some outrageous pins. But it made it fun to try and make the putts. Highly recommend this course.

Horrible greens

I have never seen greens in such poor condition. They were like green spray painted concrete. Several greens were just unplayable due to damage and under repair. On the positive side the layout of the course is nice and the undulation in and around the greens was better than most in the area. The course could use a beer cart as well.

Money money money

Too slow, hole 3 there wete 4 groups on a par 3. The pin placements were plain stupid on 4 holes including 3 where the huge jam up was. . No Marshall , starter shoves as many and as fast as possible. Greens are in distress and zero being done, that would cost money. Expecting them to fix themselves is a complete joke. It's too bad this track is nice but this management group is a joke. They could careless about your experience.
