Worse Greens in Florida.

I have play this course for over 20 years. Never saw the greens so bad. Definitely will not play here again. Manatee County should remove Fusion Golf from this course. They are ruining what use to be a decent track.

Fun Course

I always enjoy playing this course! Been a few months this time the tee boxes andfairways were very well maintained, slight issue with some of the greens, causing some poor ball rolls.

Happy with condition of course

We had a 7:24 tee time . We drove up to the 1st

Tee at 7:22 the starter scolded us for being tardy and said we had to catch up to other 2golfers in

Our foursome. At the 8th hole the ranger said we had to pick up our pace of play because there was a gap ahead of us. We played the front nine in under 2 hrs. At no time was the group behind us waiting to hit.! On the 10th green another ranger said there was a gap ahead of us so we had to pickup our pace! When we told him we played the front in under 2 hours and group behind us weren’t waiting he cussed us out and said he would kicked us off the course. I’ve golfed for over 40 years and never written a complaint on any course . I’ve never experienced anything like this before. If you look online you’ll see a number similar complaints.

No Go!!!

Ranger drives up and tells us pick the pace up while we're putting meanwhile two groups waiting at the t-box.

Greens are very bad painted green but just dirt. Smells like Buffalo dung I guess that's why they call it Buffalo Creek golf course.

Buffalo

Course was busy as usual. Course shows the wear of the busy season. I like this course. Greens are challenging. Didn’t see any gators which is unusual but did see a big flock of parrots

Course in Good shape.

Tee boxes, fairways in good shape. Several greens looked rough and looks like they are reseeding. Also needs watering.

Considering drought, course is in good shape, not my game though.

Will play again.

Great layout.

Great layout. Course was in good condition but Some of the greens were not in great shape. Pace was very slow. Definitely need a ranger to keep pace of play quicker. Overall, a good experience. Would recommend 😎

Course conditions

The course layout was nice. Staff was very friendly. Driving range mats were terrible like hitting off of concrete. Fairways and the tee boxes were in good shape. But the greens were terrible. I will not be going back there this year. If you get a good price off of T. off, it might not be a bad place to play, but if not don’t pay full price

What happened to the greens?

The course is in overall good shape. The greens are a disaster.
