4/5 Muni Course

This was a casual vacation round. We managed our expectations for a muni course during a drought. We rate everything 4/5 stars. FAST greens, front 9 significantly better shape than back 9. Lots of gators, especially Goliath, their mascot. Pace of play was fast despite other reviews stating the opposite. There was a gross smell on the 5/6th holes…probably close to the county waste water treatment facility. Make sure you play these holes quickly. Great value for money compared to lots of other 18-hole rounds in the area. Good tee boxes for all skill levels, lots of straight holes, and waters always on the right.

Bad Greens - Play Early

The course is taking advantage of busy season charging rates that are NOT worth it. $75 for an 8:30 tee time is not good when all of your greens are damaged. The 16 and 17 green were unplayable. I won’t be back to play Buffalo until more reviews start coming in saying that greens are coming back.

Word of advice - Play early if you are going to play. Pace of play is usually terrible, but I typically have had success with pace playing early here.

Much better courses in the area for a better price.

Not worth half the $75

Fairways were in decent shape. Rough is all dead. Greens ran great….when they weren’t under repair. 17 of 18 greens had dead areas, the fringe was not cut because of the dead spots leaving to mounds of grass that couldn’t be putt through. 17 the green is completely DEAD, only grass was a 3 foot circle around the hole.

We used to play this course every other week. Hadn’t played it in about 6 months.

Will not play again for another year.

The course like many others has fallen victim to the lack of rain and is very dry. A couple of greens had some disease issues, but not a deal breaker.

My wife and I are average golfers who play at a steady pace. Unfortunately, we got stuck behind three guys whose pace of play would indicate they were playing for the club championship😂.

The course is absolutely worth the greens fees, and the staff is excellent.

Great value course

Great value municipal course at $65 during season. Course is in very good shape, however, the greens need some work. The greens are small and fast.My foursome enjoyed their round.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The daily food and drink specials are very reasonable. $5 Bloody Marys and $10 lunch combo for a dog, chips and soft drink.

Looking forward to playing there again.

Fun Day!

We really enjoyed the course. Staff was friendly, tee boxes and fairways were in great condition. The greens ok, but had something on them that was sandy ( maybe being fertilized). It did not affect our round. We will be back sometime!!!

Fairways in very good shape

This course is a good track at a reasonable price. Greens are being worked on so some are still in process but the fairways are very good, especially for February! Alligators all over the course.

Fun Course Bang for the Buck

Buffalo creek has a great layout and its super fun to play. Pace of play is slow tho. Staff is super friendly!

As of late, the greens were in rough shape. Usually a little better for a public course.

And for the price, outstanding. Other courses are charging absurb amounts with less immenities and course conditions that are sub par!

Guess that's why Buffalo Creek is busy, all the time!

Review

Course play was insanely slow. A foursome in front than a twosome.

The first group were painfully slow and this completely ruined any form of rhythm. The starter was incognito.
