Can be a good value

I selected this course because I found a Hot Deal on Golf Now. Using my $10 off coupon, the round was only $30, which turned out to be an acceptable value. I would not pay more. The greens are in abysmal condition. The painting of them provides a kind of science fiction effect. The course was jammed up, which might be correctable with more assertive rangering, Very importantly, the people working at this course were most helpful and friendly. I felt welcomed, as they went beyond expectations in providing the best possible experience for me. I arrived early because I needed to leave at a certain time, and they were able to get me off in an earlier group. I was on 14 when it was time for me to go, and a ranger came out and picked me up and took me to my car. That is service!

We’ve played this course before which is why we came back but this time it was so poorly managed(not managed), There was no ranger and the waiting time on each hole was horrendous. There were twosomes going off, big part of the problem, only time we saw the ranger was when he rode around telling everyone they need to be off the course at 6:15. We were unable to complete our round been though we had time. Very disappointing!

Ridiculous

Over 5 hours to play and skipped 2 holes. Don’t know why they pay a ranger, he doesn’t do anything. Watched him drive by a young couple where the guy was giving the girl a lesson. She hit multiple shots and the whole time there was a group waiting in the fairway and multiple groups on the tee.

Slow!

It took 2:50 to play the front. We are VERY UNHAPPY that the course made no effort via Rangers to speed things up. We quit after 9 because we would havmve finished after dark (12:45 tee time).

Good value

Excellent staff here. Course is in average condition for this time of year. Starters are great guys but, they try to get ahead of tee times which causes back ups on the first 3 holes. Usually 4.5 hour rounds

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!
