Buffalo Creek Golf Club
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 greens where great
This was a great course with nice rolling greens especially for being dead winter. Had a good time, would play again anytime
normally a great course in spring and summer
My concern was with grass just off the fairways. Lost several balls and strokes since the grass is currently twice the depth of a ball. Its been like this the last two trips. Every things been great on previous trips....
Tough rough and tougher greens
Try not to miss the fairways, or you're gonna have to pay the price. Watch out for subtle breaks that are twice what you'd think they should be. Very challenging course, but tons of fun!
Great pace of play
Booked through golfnow on Sunday 29th and practically had the course to myself! Beautiful weather, mild temperatures and low breeze, made the day and the game an absolute joy!
Great golf course in great shape! Will def play again
Played Buffalo Creek for 2nd time on Sunday 09/22/13 because they offered a great discounted rate for a weekend round on golfnow (thank you golfnow!). The course was in great condition. Very green everything, nice quick greens. Only issue, and I guess maybe a phone call prior to booking round would have solved this, is that they had a tournament versus local golf clubs going on that day, and they were playing so slow. So round took a RIDICULOUSLY long time. If it wasnt such a nice day, the Cowboys hadnt taken control of the game so early, and I had paid reg price this review would be very different.
Greens in poor shape this time
I think these guys had a tough summer. They say they're trying to get the greens back, I wish them the best in that effort. But putting on these greens today was not fun. Patchy, different speeds, humps and bumps.....took away from the overall enjoyment of what usually is a pretty decent track.
Great course, will definitely play again.
Course after rain drained well and was in good condition. Pace of play was good, greens immaculate.
Course played as expected with lots of trees & water.
Need some rain to help the greens get back to normal. Understand they had a water main break just as they finished fertilizing greens. Still a great place to play.
The front greens are really nice. The back needs some work badly.
I play at Buffalo Creek pretty often. I'm surprised the greens on the back 9 basically didn't have any grass on it. I guess they are working on them.
Back 9 greens are gone.
By 9:15 Saturday morning they were already approaching a 5 hour round--course marshal did nothing despite numerous complaints from several groups other than say the course is full. The back 9 greens are awful--significant lack of grass and very bumpy.
back nine green terrible
Need more attention on green green like mud
First nine hole green ok
But not good shape
Back nine is unplayable green
Great Course but, Green Troubles Now
I love BC and play there most weekends but, it appears they are losing the greens. The outer perimeters were burned / dead and for $70 I will wait a while to play there again. I do love the course but, only if prices drop.
good but could have been better with greens better
Greens were bad becuase of verti cuting and dry
Although it was drizzling the greens had issue. Fairways were perfect so I felt thatmaybe we caught it at the wrong time of the year. HEAT wise
Horrible Greens and Tee Boxes on a one time very nice course
I was terribly disappointed in the upkeep of this course from tee to green. I played on July 6th, expecting the course to be in very well manicured, especially considering the mild summer. The greens were bare with little or no grass, bumpy with ridges that made putting difficult. The tee boxes were over grown with thick browning grass. Fairways were hard in some areas and soggy in other areas where sprinkler were leaking. The Staff was very nice and I felt bad for them having to work under such deplorable conditions. I would not recommend this course to anyone and will not return.
Major Problems
There is a certain amount of 'blind trust' that goes into booking on-line.
So there isn't any unpleasant surprises, I have learned to make phone calls to ask specific questions about conditioning before I book a round.
Buffalo Creek has long been a course I visit whenever I'm in the DFW area.
NEVER again.
Full price ($70) for total rag-tag conditions is nuts.
It would have been smoother putting at the local Goat Pasture.
The real problem ... I was lied to when I called and asked specifically about the greens.
When I stopped at the turn to express my concerns over being 'tricked' (lied to) into playing, my displeasure was met with a snicker and an assurance of 'no refunds'.
Like every other golfer, I vote with my dollars.
So Buffalo Creek is done in my book. NEVER AGAIN!!!
I'll be sure to let as many people as possible know not to trust these folks.
All around great course
Super friendly staff, cart gals, great course layout and condition left a solid first impression. Consistent greens and mostly flat tee boxes. Utilizes great topography throughout entire course. Will definitely be back.
Loved this course! This looks like a private golf course although its not.
This is a great course! It was fun to play, but still challenging. I have played a lot of private Country Club courses and this is the closest to one of those, for a semi-public course, as I have seen. Will play this course again and ever chance I get.
Solid, if unspectacular
Course was in pretty good shape overall, though the greens were a bit bumpy and certainly could have been better. That might improve in during the summer months, of course. Payed $65 to play it, which wasn't bad, but I wouldn't pay much more than that. Pace of play slowed down on the last few holes, but that was pretty expected for Memorial Day. Can't say how it is all the time.
Great course
The greens are fast and the pins were in tricky locations. For under $25, this course was a steal. The guys in the pro shop were great. Beautiful course. The rough is cut pretty short, almost at the fairway length. Makes the fairways feel wider. Challenging, yet fun.
wow, what a great course and in pristine shape
Hazards and trees and water. Nice layout and wonderful staff. Great day
