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.

Fantastic course layout
Due to some rain we couldn’t drive on the fairways but except for that everything was great. The course had a great layout and the staf was really friendly. Especially the starter/marshal was really friendly and helpful to keep the pace up. We were teamed up with another really friendly member who helped us with some great advice regarding the holes. Value for money was really great.
Has not aged well
I played the golf course 20+ years ago and it appears the carts are at least that old. No electronic range finders. Cart was making a weird noise. The steering was loose. The seat cushions were torn. The cart paths were not in good shape. No bag drop area marked. No one greeted us when we pulled up. The course was in good shape overall, considering it was the end of summer and there was not much rain. The greens would not hold a shot and were hard. They need to invest money in the course. It was much better 20 years ago.
Green Greens
The second course I have played that is under $80 and the greens were green and well maintained.
Challenging course
The course was in very good condition. A few of the greens weren’t in the best condition but over all very nice! The course layout was challenging with a few blind spot ponds and bunkers. Made for a fun round! Will definitely be back again!
Great track for a weekday round!
Extremely friendly staff and starter made for an excellent start to my round. Pace of play was great and course conditions were very nice save for a few sandy greens. Very scenic layout that’s challenging but fair. Highly recommended!
Excellent experience
From the moment I checked in to register to the end of my 18 holes it was a great experience 😁
Buffalo Creek pretty great
Solid course. In great shape considering Texas summers. A few greens struggling but overall worth the money and great people working there.
Recommend
Phenomenal experience from start to finish. The pro shop staff were very friendly and helpful. The course was incredible, great lay out, challenging and fun. The food was also very good. I would recommend this course to anyone.
A bit expensive but in a great condition in July!
The course is in a great shape and I liked the layout. It was worth the $99 (Sunday rate) and a longer drive for me to get there. Will play there again for sure!
Improvements Continue
Really enjoyed this one. Course and greens were in great shape, the course was fast and firm and the staff was great. They had complimentary range balls and bottled water since the last time I was here. Pace of play was 4 hrs. 15 mins. which is ok. One thing they should consider is a course set of tees with a mix of tips and blue to get somewhere in the 6700-6800 range. The blues are a bit short at 6500 and the tips are a bit long at nearly 7100! Will be back!
Best shape!
I’ve played Buffalo Creek several times over the years and I must say the courses never look better couple more weeks. It’ll be an excellent round of golfer anyone and any level..
Great Day on a Great Course.
Just a few days after several bad storms in the North Texas region, and the grounds crew had done a fantastic job in cleaning up and having the course in great shape. There were a couple bunkers that were unplayable if you ended up in them, but with the way those storms were, this place was in incredibly great condition. The staff was top notch and very friendly.
