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 Shape

We played 18 and enjoyed it thoroughly. The putting greens, fairways, and tee boxes were all in above average shape compared to other area courses. The greens were especially nice. I would recommend this course to anyone. The fb staff and clubhouse staff were efficient and friendly. They had beverage cart girls around the entire round.

Course in good shape

Course in better shape than a lot of other courses in the area. A few greens have new grass patches planted. Driving range currently closed due to a gas pipeline. But overall the course is up to par.

Wait till Construction is Done

They are in the middle of a significant amount of construction that impacts multiple holes. Driving rage is closed. If I ever play again I will wait till the construction is complete as it impacted play on several holes.

Course is in ok shape

I was playing in a foursome and there was a threesome behind us and a twosome behind them. We eventually had to let those two groups play through, which was annoying. The greens had seen better days and there was construction around the 1st and 16th holes. The construction also had the driving range shut down, which was very frustrating!!!

Cart Girl Carey was terrific and John the starter was helpful and the check-in was easy. Course was in rough shape and the construction around Holes 16-18 was crazy. Had really hoped the course would have been winter seeded.

Buffalo Creek Golf Club

Beautiful day of golfing. It's winter in Texas so the fairways are dormant. Staff is friendly and if it's your first time they'll give you a course book which was a ball savor for me. There is no GPS display in the cart so the course book and a range finder are your friend. The last par 5 on the back nine was under construction so instead of it being a monster par 5 it was a short par 4, but that's temporary. Fun course, great value.

Under construction

This course was designed by Jay Morris and Tom wyskoff so I was anxious to play it. I'm from Missouri and have built a golf course and hired Tom weiskoff to design it for me. The course is called Old Kinderhook and located in lake of the Ozarks, Missouri. When we got to Buffalo Creek, we were informed, by a very friendly staff. I might add, that the driving range was closed and that parts of the golf course was dug up as they were putting in a large sewer line through the course and the driving range. It really only affected one of the holes but since it went through the driving range, that was closed. The practice putting green was not indicative of the rest of the greens on the course. It mostly slanted and there were basically no areas where you could practice a flat putt. Once that all gets corrected and the driving range gets back open and they're finished with the sewer line going through parts of the golf course layout, I would definitely go back. The price was very reasonable and the girl behind the counter was very nice as was the girl out on the drink cart by the name of Casey. Casey. She made great bloody Marys for an early tee time.
