Grumpygolfer

Much improved course conditions from last time I was here. Extensive work on draining in heavy rains seems to have paid off. Condition of tees and fringes of greens still very poor and annoyingly so. Staff very friendly and overall the experience can be ok if you’re not a serious golfer.

Great course for the buck

Course was in great condition, except the greens they were pretty beat up. When putting the ball would bounce all around making it difficult to get a good line. Fairways were in great condition, course lay out was nice. Great price for the course, would again.

Was pretty busy when I played however the pace was quick and not a long wait at each tee block.

Small but mighty

Course has improved with new ownership. Great amenities for families like a jump house and a stage for music near snack shop and driving range. Good course for beginners to learn or someone who wants to play in under 2 hours in the middle of the day.

They have to redo all the greens they're not in great condition

If they redo the greens it will be a much better course

Surprisingly good

First time playing at Buchanan Fields in 7 years. Hot Deal time with promo got me a mid morning tee time for 2 dollars.

After recent surgery I wanted to play somewhere where driver isn't needed and course difficulty wasn't too much. Played with 3 other golfers who were fantastic and courteous. The facility is clean, fun and staff is excellent. Got thru 9 holes in 1 hour 45 mins.

Feel good course

Convenience, accessible tee times, great value, solid practice facilities, pro shop offerings. New ownership has transformed that GC to the good. Music, chill area, kids bouncers. Definitely on the right track.
