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.

Buffalo Creek
Overall the course was in great condition. Awesome layout. Just right amount of elevation not to hilly. The only issue was green on number 8, par 3. Practice facility is great short game area , sand and putting. Overall Buffalo Creek is a goto!
Great Course and well maintained
Amazing course and well maintained. Greens were well maintained. The cost could be a little low to make us repeat visitors.
This course is in great shape and has a fun/challenging layout. If the greens could be faster it would have been superb for the green fee. Great price point. Almost on par with Heritage Ranch and it’s $50-$60 cheaper. Will return.
Buffalo Soldier
The course is very well maintained. All with the exception of 1 green were excellent. The last par 3 on the front 9, hole #8 has some POA. Everything else was perfect. Great value and a beautiful course. I’ll be back. One note the carts are a little beat up and no GPS BUT they did tell me that they are getting new carts soon. I don’t recall exactly when but maybe in a month or so. Also they give a free small bag of range balls (30 or so) a very classy gesture. Also free coffee. Everyone is friendly and the pro shop is well stocked. This was my 5th round in about 18 months. I like to hit it up during the week when I get a random day off.
Love it
Love this track. They just punched the greens but leveled it with sand so it was slow and not too bumpy. Should play well in a few weeks. Was in great condition otherwise. Friendly staff, good pace of play. Definitely recommended!
Mostly good, some not so good
The good: tees and fairways. 15 of 18 greens. bunkers. golf shop staff. pace of play for a weekend morning. layout. My driver and putter.
The not so good: Carts are in really bad shape. 3 greens virtually void of good grass. Being asked to keep up with group in front of us when we (3some) waited on every shot. My irons.
The course was great!
My only negative experience was the speed of the greens. They seemed to be cut very thin making shot difficult to hold. Fairways a little thin on some holes but to be expected due to winter.
Tree cutting really open up holes #8 #10 #16 and #18
Great pace good course conditions clearing trees on holes 8,10,16 and 18 make the course more playable.
