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.

The real deal
Shop people were awesome, and super laid back. Great layout, with amazing greens with nice speed.
Course will make you think a lot more than others. Challenging pin placements.
It's pretty cool when you play a 3 iron of the tee on a par five for your best option.
Drinks are cheap! Bring your rangefinder
2nd time to play this course
Course was in good shape - only thing was that the greens had recently been punched and very recently been sanded. Sanding was done quite well so as to not overly affect the green speed. Should be back to normal in less than a week.Also thick rough on some holes. Will play again.
Lacking
Has great potential, greens were just average, fairways just OK, grounds you would of thought would have been better kept, but the worst was the sand bunkers, worst i have ever seen they looked like an abandoned forgotten practice range in the middle of Hickory Nut USA, this used to be a special place to play, now less than average
Great Course!
I have played this course before. I enjoy the lay out of various holes which presents opportunity for amateur success! The fairways were in good shape and the greens are excellent! Can't wait for my next round!!!
Need some pictures of the holes
I played yesterday. The starter (ambassador) was very helpful, as were the others I came in contact with. The course was in good shape except that the greens were a bit rough. I liked the layout of the holes but there were no pictures anywhere of the holes... not on the card, not at the hole, and they didn't even have a course yardage book available. There are some blind shots at times that can really cause problems. I liked the course but would love to be able to see the hole layout so I can plan how I want to play.
Hit Fairways
Lots of trees on the course.
Great Set up
Miss the fairway and you're in trouble.
Greens rolled smooth and true.
Makes for a pleasant round
Fairways and greens are in good but not excellent shape. Traps are washed out by recent weather and will have to be resanded before playable. Great practice facility. Enjoy
Great value
The course was in great shape. I got a hot deal price and it great course for the value. Greens were in good shape. The gras around the fringe of the greens was thick and made for challenging chipping when missing the green.
Good track!
Always enjoy this course. Challenging and forgiving at times. Played this past wednsday and it was way to packed. I understand trying to recoup money after the rain storms but 3 groups on every hole is rediculous!
Practice round
Great value, not crowded
Played in 3 1/2 hours will play again
great public facility
I highly recommend it. Great facility, great staff and fantastic, awesome golf course in beautiful shape with superb excellent greens.
Great Day for Golf~!
Great facility! Rained day before, driving range was closed, used the chipping and putting areas.
Cart path only, for the first nine; but was able to use fairways the second nine!
Thanks
This course lacked in every aspect
From check in to course conditions all the way to no control at the starters position. We were a twosome that was behind a fivesome, twosome, single senior & a threesome.
To make matters worse the foursome behind us was playing loud music and would always roll up on us at the tee box & then started hitting in to us.
When we addressed it the punk kids wanted to fight.
What used to be a good course has gone way downhill just like their tore up tee boxes.
We will never play Buffalo Creek again. EVER
Nice day!
Overall, a good experience; the weather was great and so was the course.
Buffalo Creek
Great hot deal on the weekend.
Course in good shape for the middle of winter.
Always a challenging layout especially when south wind blows.
great golf for ur money
This course has everything. Fast greens large fairways, challenging holes. I played in January and it was beautiful. Cant wait to play it in the spring.
Beautiful Course...Alway in great shape
Very challenging for any level golfer. Greens and fairways are alway in great shape.
Buffalo Creek Golf Club
I visit the Dallas area at least twice a year and never miss a chance to play Buffalo Creek. Beautiful and challenging course with great practice facilities.
beautiful greens
Course is very fun and challenging. Greens are beautiful and very fast. Fairways were really good as well! Love this course. I would at here every day if I could!
Course Conditions Should Be Better
I have been playing this course since it opened. Back then it was one of the best in the area. Over the past few years it has really been disappointing for their course conditions. Not to say that they were god awful but they have major issues with Armadillo's chewing up the fairways.
Bunkers are a joke. It's either hard as concrete or too much sand.
Greens are hit or miss. Not sure I have seen so much weed coming through this time of year. And whomever is cutting the cups should be fired. The old cup placements where they have to use the cut from the current cup to fill are all sticking above the surface of the green.
Is this the standard that American Golf is about. It seems with American Golf they have several courses in one area and only choose to spend money for upkeep on the best one and completely neglect the other.
Considering there are million dollar homes on the course this is unacceptable. This course could be best in the area.
