Hidden gem of indy
Best 9 holes in Indianapolis. The staff is beyond nice and accommodating. The greens are gorgeous and the fairways are well maintained. I'll be back again and again.
Course is a beautiful layout and in great shape. Even with the lack of rain, no dry spots and the greens and fairways all are in great condition.
Best service in Indy
best hidden gem in the Indy area - service is world class
Gem
Thoroughly enjoyed playing this course. Great course, greens were beautiful.
Deserves 4.8 rating
It’s rare to see a 9 hole course with such a high rating - ok, you never see a 9 hole course rated this high. Buffer Park deserves it. Just a gem of a course tucked away in central Indianapolis. Regulation length, in fact can play pretty long from the tips. Course conditions were superb with delightful hole layouts. Just a pleasure to play. Oh, did I mention price? I think they charged me only $25 to walk 18. While there is no driving range, it is an excellent place to work on putting, with an ample practice green to get good work in. Greens in excellent shape. Definitely play if you get a chance. As good a golf value as you will find anywhere
One of my favorites.
Buffer park has become on of my favorite courses in Indy to play. It is the perfect mix of challenging and gives the golfer the opportunity to score. The club house has some of the best staff I have experienced. Conditions were in top notch shape. The bunkers are nice and fluffy.
Terrific 9 hole course
One of the better public courses in Indianapolis, to bad it’s only 9 holes. Course has several scenic holes, the par 3 over water is terrific. The finishing hole is great as well.
Great 9 Hole Track
Buffer Park is about all you can ask from a 9 hole track. Solid layout with water in play throughout, narrow fairways, sand, and other problems should you spray. Fairways are fairly narrow but well kept as are the tee boxes. Rough was in good shape too, and was at a good length for a mix of jumper and clunker shots coming out of them. A couple greens had some damage spots, and they all ran noticeably slower than the putting green but were smooth.
Friendly staff in the club house, which is a nice size but pretty bare bones inside. Easily the second best course I've played inside I-465 (Indianapolis - Brickyard is in its own league and the city munis are a significant step down from this). Worth the drive from downtown or the area if you're local or on your way to the airport as a getaway round.
Glad to see they are making it through the pandemic
Glad to see this diamond in the rough is still here. It's a great little course. Changing from whites to blues really changes how this course plays. Absolutely love it. Glad they are still here!
Fantastic 9-hole Course
Buffer Park seems like a well-kept secret in the Indy golf community. It's a well-maintained, beautiful course that's worth the price to play every time.
Hidden 9 hole Gem
This is a great 9 hole course. Have played it several times now and enjoy it each time I play it. The course is in great condition and is priced right as well. The staff is friendly and makes you feel like a valued customer. Definitely worth playing and I highly recommend this course.
Very nice course and affordable!
I played here on oct 9th.The staff are very friendly and helpful and the condition of the course was spectacular! I would definitely recommend this course to friends and family and I will definitely be playing here again soon!
Best Kept 9 Hole Course
Absolutely love this course. Can play 9 holes in 1:30 so it perfect for a quick game after work. Switching between the Blue and White tees changes a lot of how some of the obstacles come into play. Very well kept, slight issues with the irrigation system so some of the fairways are always wet. The staff is wonderful. I play here at least once a week.
Great place to play game of Golf
Course in great shape like very much playing this place
