About
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.

You can see the course is well maintain fairways and greens in excellent condition. First time playing the golf course and will definitely be back to play it again.
One of the best courses in The Dallas area
I live in the Highland Park area and I love driving out to Buffalo Creek and taking this course on. I was a fan before and after all the repairs it is amazing! Beautiful white sand bunkers, great tee boxes, rolling fairways beautiful scenery and smooth , fast greens. A must play for any golfer!
Much Improved
The changes they have put into the course are paying off. Much better sand in the bunkers. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are in great shape. I would not hesitate to go back.
High end neighborhood; high end pricing
The course continues to show improvements following the freeze in February. The sand traps and most tee boxes have been replaced and are in great condition. Fairways play well, but the greens are just ok. I guess being located in an upscale neighborhood warrants the almost double weekend rates than other courses in the areas. The value is lacking as the weekend rate and cart is $75, for a course that isn’t much nicer than others. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Pace of play on this day was crazy slow, and honestly my group didn’t finish the round due to back ups on every hole in the back 9. Incomplete groupings (3 or less) caused delays.
Fun course great people
I was in town for a wedding and was able to get out to Buffalo Creek. The staff greeted me right away and gave me the option to get out earlier. The conditions were fantastic and the course presented a great challenge. Had some great merchandise as well ended up getting a new hat and polo. Also had a great chicken sandwich I was able to enjoy after the round. Great work all around
Greens
The Greens are terrible the grain is so bad. Go check out Mesquite golf course greens. Probably 10 to 11 on a stemp meter smooth as glass. Yours are rough grainy. Puts didn’t hold there line. Slow unless down hill.
The rest of the golf course is great. I’ve been playing your course since the 90’s
Not buffalo’d at Buffalo
Haven’t played here in about a year. Course is in much better shape and they’ve made some great changes. Nice new carts too. Looking forward to returning.
Good Course!!
Had a good time playing this course since there was a renovation of the sand traps! Definitely this is my home course.
Was great before now even nicer
Repairs to tee boxes and sand traps are under way but the course is 100% playable and fun! White sand bunkers on a public course like this are rare! So excited to see the completed project but thrilled they are making it playable during the process!
Good Time was had by all
Great place to play even if you're not a "pro". Enjoyed it!
Buffalo Creek
This course was a good buy. Even though about 8 tee box areas were under repair. The greens had been air rated a few weeks prior. Overall course was in good condition, club house and snack bar were great along with the cart girls. Free range balls prior to teeing off. I will play this course ina few weeks after the tee boxes and greens completely come in.
Going to be an awesome course
Course largely under construction right now. New management is updating all bunkers and tee boxes. Currently still a good course, but in a few months it will be stunning! Looking forward to coming back! Nice practice areas and super friendly staff.
Under construction
Greens were punched and at least 4-5 tee boxes per side were under construction. Tees were moved up super far. Some tees on holes were just put in a random spot in the grass and not an actual box. Paid full price which is lame
Not worth playing in current condition
The course is beautiful, however 3/4 of the course is in full reconstruction mode. Tee-boxes are non existent and hole layouts are in shambles. Greens are in rough shape and are very inconsistent throughout the course. I’m sure that the course will be back to standard by the end of the year but until then it is nowhere near its luxury price tag.
