Length 7078 yards
Slope 145
Rating 81.3

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.

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.

Still one of the best courses around

There was a still a lot of storm damage, but it didn't interfere with play. They had just sanded the greens recently, so they ran a bit slower.

Overall great condition.

Good value

I’ve played this course several times and keep coming back. Storm has hit some trees and greens are a little sandy but the course is well taken care of. Good value for the money. Including range balls and reasonable price, friendly staff, along with pace of play keep me coming back.

Good course - starter Staff need reality check

Course was fine, greens recently sanded but good conditions. Starter absolutely lost his mind on hole 9 by telling us we were 5 minutes behind pace. If the cart girl wasn’t so slow on the groups ahead of us we wouldn’t have been 5 minutes behind. Hard to hit when there’s a conference going on in the middle of the fairway in front of us. Anyways, shrugged off the starter and went low on the back.

Fresh aeration too much for green fees

The greens were aerated in early june and it was impossible to putt.....with that, 100 bucks for green fees was way too much

Course is fun to play

The course has undulating fairways and great open feel. The greens are well maintained but the traps could use some love. Not bad, but with a little care could be great.

Looking forward to playing here again.

Great track

Course was in excellent condition considering all of the rain Dallas has gotten over the last few weeks and considering it's hot enough outside to measure the temperature in Kelvin. It's about a 30 minute drive from my place out to this course, while there are closer courses, this one imo, is well worth the trip.

Amazing Course!

I frequently play at Buffalo Creek and have seen them transform over the years. With everything growing in Spring, the course has never been in better shape. I can't say enough about how great this course is. The staff is friendly, the course is challenging, and it isn't crazy expensive compared to other high quality courses in DFW.

Beautiful Layout

I really enjoyed playing this course. Period many the holes were beautiful grades were good condition. Fairways were in good condition. Good number of the holes were challenging. It was the best course I played all week A little pricier than the others, but it was definitely worth it.
