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.

Course is set up very nice

The course was laid out very well for the space it's in. Lots of moving fairways and lots of subtle breaks on the greens made for a really enjoyable round.

A must golf experience

This course is losing its luster. They are trying to correct the problems but it might be better to wait and play in 2015.

5 players??

This was the second time they tried to pair our 4some with a single. Last time we were behind a 5some. I dont expect this from a course of this stature. Other than that, it was great.

Buffalo Creek Never Gets Boring

I've played this course hundreds of times and it's always been fun. This layout will have you hitting every club in your bag. It has some easy holes and some challenging holes and a couple holes leaving you scratching your head. The greens are always pretty good, firm and fast, but today was an exception ( a little bumpy). I personally preferred the bent grass they used in the 90's and early 2000's. Buffalo creek does fall short in the F & B department. Just because it's a small food prep area doesn't mean you can only serve dogs and cold sandwiches. It's located in a great community why not get a small pizza oven and get creative.

Poor customer service

On a day that it was over 100° all there water jugs were completely empty and they had sent their cart girl home. They should be more responsible on hot days with their water. Also, the only guy working in the clubhouse didn't care to be bothered.

Good condition and value

Course is in good shape, better than the average found in dfw for this price range. Layout is a fun and challenging at times. Greens seemed a tad slow but overall experience was positive as it normally is at this course.

Greens were disappointing

Greens were apparently just aerated within last week. They were extremely slow and not consistent. If I had known they were in that condition I would not have played even at the rate they charged. Next time I'll ask about course condition before I commit to play.

Challenging but fun

Always love Buffalo Creek. They have sanded the greens which is probably why Golf now has such good deals. Actually had a putt hit a rock and bounce up in the air and sideways. I would wait a couple of weeks to play there again. But other than that the fairways are in great shape. Lots of strategy involved playing here. Not just a grip it and rip it layout. Staff is always extremely friendly.
I'll be back - just not until the grass has grown up around the sand.
