Buffalo Creek Golf Course

Great layout, staff and amenities. But the greens.

I know staff is doing the best they can based on budget and our lack of rain this past winter. But this seems to be the same issue every year. When the greens are as small as some of these, 1/8 of the green being sanded and looking like property bordering the straight of Hormuz, makes for a rough day for putting. I have faith and the love this course.

Greens are diseased and in repair. Balance of course in good condition. Value for the money with greens as they are is poor.

The course made the mistake to set a tee time 2 minutes before a 40 CART BEST BALL SCRAMBLE. Hole 3, starter comes and tells us we're holding up the tournament. 5th hole, makes us SKIP the 6th hole, which has the ONLY restroom on the front. On the turn, told to hurry up again. 11th hole, told to hurry up again. It was so bad, one of our foursome quit The rest of the round, the seater followed us to make sure we didn't do ANYTHING other than hit the ball and go get it. I've been playing golf for over 40 years, and by far, the worst experience I've ever had. And, to make it worse, one of our foursome is A MEMBER! So....if you want to play this course, make sure your a scratch golfer, play alone, and don't play during snow-bird season.

Staff was great with a perfect 6 for 20 beer deal. Good thing that was available. The greens were more sand than grass and super inconsistent. Some tee box’s were Prestine and others def needed work. The rough and areas surrounding green were unplayable at points. Fun day still but course needs a lot of attention.

Course itself was fine…especially for off season.

Pace of play was great.

Staff was great.

Was hoping to see Chubb’s…didn’t though.

Greens were rough due to fungus thing that affect many FL course.

It should be noted the course is located right next to a sewer/water treatment plant… smelled like shizz for my round. I’m told it all depends on which way the wind is blowing…a rather stinky gamble!

None the less first time playing there and first round of the year for me while visiting from WI…got to play with a few great local guys which was great!!

Overall a decent course and experience!

We’ve played there 5-6 times and the tee boxes and fairways were in the best shape ever. Greens not so much. All in all it’s a nice layout and a good deal for the money.

Tees & fairways in good shape. Greens are a work in progress but still playable

Fairways were great. But the greens basically made the course unplayable. Great patches of the greens were nothing but dirt and seed. Might as well not putt.

Fairways and tee boxes are in great shape. A lot of terrain makes it challenging. The greens were definitely in poorer shape for some reason.

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.

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.

Smell from sewage next door was unbearable, greens were terrible. For the price don’t go

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.
