Rating 81.3

Highly touted Buffalo Creek has been praised for its layout, condition, and overall attention to detail. No matter who you talk to in the DFW area, they all seem to praise the superb condition of the course from tee to green. Offering a 7,078-yard par 71 Jay Morrish/Tom Weiskopf design, Buffalo Creek offers a good combination of holes: straight holes, dogleggers, uphill and downhill shots, and both long and short holes.

One of the best features is the club’s method of using a pin location sheet to mark exactly where each pin is located on a particular day (up to six locations), which is unbelievably helpful to hacks who’ve never played the course before and have no feel for the look and contour of the greens.

Getting there : Take I-30 east from Dallas and exit Ridge Rd. Turn right and find the course 1.6 miles down on the left.

Poor Management

Pace of play is ridiculous. If you’re a member or know the Manager you can play has a 5some or 6some. I stopped playing here a couple months ago after a 5 hour round because there was a tensome who held up the whole course and no one did anything about it.

Come to find out nothing changed. Pro shop and marshals do nothing. After 4 hours on hold 12 (and 2 calls later) we had to leave. I went to the pro shop and Chris said “we can’t turn away a customer”. If you can’t enforce rules then THERE ARE NO RULES and you can do just do whatever you want. This place is a circus. No one cares and they’re running this place into the ground again

Really nice public course

The clubhouse shows it's age but they keep it clean and tidy. Staff is SUPER friendly. That being said you come here to play golf. And golf is what you get. Even for winter conditions the fairways are in really good shape. The greens are fast and nice. I can look forward to what this is like when it's in its prime during the growing season. I look forward to coming back and playing many more times.

Course is in outstanding conidiation for this time of year and crew takes very good care of it.

Definitely worth the trip out to Rockwall!

Fantastic!

Hands-down, the best golf course in Northeast Dallas. I recently moved over here from flower mound where I had a lot of of great courses available. For the price point, this course is absolutely fantastic!

Great course

I've played here a few times and it is always in great condition. The lay out is challenging enough to keep you interested but not so challenging that you can't enjoy the round.

Poor Management

This is my local course. I play here a lot. Last year the course was fantastic. You got what you paid for. The greens were amazing.

I have seen this course crumble this year and after today I've had enough. It took 5 hours to play, which is the norm now with all the hacks out nowadays who thinks they can play. They allow groups of 10 out, yes I said 10, if they know someone in the pro shop which backs up the course big time. There were 3 groups on every tee box ALL DAY.

The greens apparently got some sort of disease as the GM stated so all summer and now fall, you will just be putting on a beach.

Long story short, if you know someone that works here you're permitted to play slow or have groups of 10. These hidden gems are turning into upgraded Top Golf attractions. Traditional golf is over, it's now a hack fest

First time playing, and will definitely be back!

Course conditions were optimal when we played. Fairways were in good shape, rough wasn’t too thick but offered enough of a punishment that hitting the fairway was rewarded, and greens were pretty fast and consistent. Played my best round in a few years and the mix of difficulty between the holes kept it interesting!

Inconsistent

This course is usually in great shape, and one we play, for a challenge and don’t mind paying up for., and consider a value for what you get. Unfortunately, the greens were not in good shape, and very inconsistent in regard to firmness and grass cut. I can only assume that they are punching soon, hopefully. Rough in some places was ridiculous, looked more like areas were missed by the crew.. Staff are always nice. Time for new carts w/gps.

Buffalo Creek

Overall the course was in great condition. Awesome layout. Just right amount of elevation not to hilly. The only issue was green on number 8, par 3. Practice facility is great short game area , sand and putting. Overall Buffalo Creek is a goto!

This course is in great shape and has a fun/challenging layout. If the greens could be faster it would have been superb for the green fee. Great price point. Almost on par with Heritage Ranch and it’s $50-$60 cheaper. Will return.
