About

Type Public
Par 71
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.

Course was decent, but greens were just punched

First the price on Golfnow was $65. I paid $20 through Golfnow and I was supposed to only pay $45 at the course. I checked in and was charged $60. I asked why and they said their price on the weekend was $80. I told and showed them that Golfnow said I was to only pay $40 at the course, but they pretty much said, it is what it is. I pay and go to the practice green and it was quite evident that there was a recent punch. So on top of the fact I had to pay more that I thought, the greens were just punched. The course is in pretty good shape, but the fact that no one tells you they just punch, just kind of ticked me off. Please put on the website or Golfnow when you punch. It’s not hard.

Highly Recommend

I really enjoyed this course. It was in very good condition and the staff was excellent! As I finished 14 I noticed my cart was running down. I hit my tee shot on 15 and called the clubhouse. By the time the other two players hit their tee shots and before we completed our second shots the staff had delivered me another cart! Will play here again when I am in the area!

Great course and layout

Loved the course and layout. Considering the heat and conditions, the course was in great shape. Consistent greens, lush fairways and tee boxes. Several courses are struggling in DFW, but BCGC is not. Can’t recommend enough

Bad Management

Arrived and the pro shop did not have any keys for the carts. Unbelievable. Only gets worse. We started on 10 at 6:20 pm due to tourney beginning on hole 1 with jr golfers. Not a problem. On hole 4 our cart lost power and it took the club house 45 minutes to supply us with another cart. By that time it was too dark to finish.
