First Time Playing

The fairways were in good shape. The greens were fast and several of them had turf damage. Several tee boxes also need maintenance. Tee times were backed up due to a frost delay and pace was slow thru the front, but picked up on the back. Staff was really friendly.

Frost delay

A frost delay backed things up. Unfortunately we were behind a men’s league group so pace of play was slow, but not horrible. Tees and fairways were in good shape but many of the greens had bad spots covered with green sand/seed mix. Made putting a bit uneven depending upon where you landed on the green. Got to see the famous large alligator sunning itself so that was a treat.

Continuos improvement

3 years ago the course was in pretty rough shape but they have put a lot of time and energy into improvements. The course is fun and challenging. I will keep playing because I can see they will continue to improve. The par 3 tee boxes were in rough shape yesterday but with the cold weather that is not too big of a surprise.

Experienced golfer

Need to train there gc maintenance staff how to change the hole location. Had 5 holes that the flag stick wouldn't go back in the cup properly because the hole wasn't dug deep enough. Some greens are little rough but looks like they are trying to bring them back

Conditions were horrible

The greens were in such bad shape, not just one all of them. Putting down green sand isn’t going to fix them. The fairways are in good condition. This used to be a premier course, what happened? We won’t be playing here again.

Slow Slow Slow

Whoever came up with the idea of sending people off the tenth tee, and shortened space between groups is delusional. Today’s round was close to 5 hours, with the groups on front of us as threesomes. It makes zero sense. While the fairways are in very good shape, many of the greens are in desperate need of some TLC…..

It’s not the same Buffalo Creek Golf course as it was in the past. Sad.

Terrible Greens

I hadn't played this course since I moved to NC several years ago. I used to play this course quite often and it was great. I cannot say the same now. The fairways were in great shape but the greens were the worst that I have ever played on. I would not recommend playing this course!

Still don’t get it.

This course continues to struggle with “pace of play” . Putting groups out every 7 minutes jams this course up. Please allow some additional time between groups . Many of your reviews refer to pace of play. Is the city not reading them? This course is fun to play. Please fix the pace.
