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.

Under repair

Much of the course is being worked on tees, fairways and bunkers. They have patch some bare spots around the greens which can force you to play a more difficult shot than you could have played. Greens are in great shape. Overall a good experience.

Under Construction

Some tee boxes are completely torn up. Bunkers under construction as well. One hole had 4 groups playing the same hole back up was bad. Could be a great course after construction but not worth what they are charging for a course that’s under construction. Need to lower the rates to reflect that.

Ehhh

Cart attendance must have messed around as the sign for hole location to hole 1 or 10 was switched around, Direct to 1 says to go to 10 and vice versa. There were multiple tee boxes closed and under construction. No garbage cans or receptacle around tee boxes. There were no toilet paper in the club house or halfway house or anywhere on the course. Course condition is poor (due to excessive rain). Good layout and has its challenges. Staff was nice/friendly. Will give it awhile as it has an opportunity become an excellent course, but for now not worth the price (yet).

Course Review

The winter storm did a lot of damage to the course. Still plenty of bare spots in the fairway and around the green. A number of tee-boxes are currently under repair. Some of the greens have also been damaged.

Played this past Sunday (6/6) and it was a five hour plus round, Having a five some two groups ahead of us sure didn't help. 3.5 out of 5.

New owners & Management company are awesome

The course is in amazing shape since the last time I played which was prior to the new owners. They are making some serious strides at putting this course back the the condition it deserves. Given the hard winter we had, there were a few dead tee boxes which is to be expected but absolutely nothing ruined this round.

Play here!

This was my first time playing this course. It was perfect weather. The fairways were

dormant so the ball rolled quite a bit. The greens were fast but not difficult to read. I highly recommend playing this course.

Great Experience

All around amazing experience at Buffalo Creek. Practice facilities are great, starter was very helpful for a first timer like myself, and course was in great shape. Had a very therapeutic early morning round by myself. One of the best golf experiences I’ve had anywhere in DFW. Give it a go.
