Designed by Keith Foster, there are challenging elements such as water hazards and bunkers that come into play on the course. The wind creates difficulty on this golf course.

This was typical rough today. Photo submitted by Kofoed27 on 06/14/2021
Buffalo Run
Greens were in pretty good shape. The rest of course was not. Tarps are in every fairway, bunkers and like concrete. There are better options in same area for less money.
Golf round
Played here multiple times, staff always great. Course is getting better as far as condition, hopefully the mats are gone soon and the range opens up. Good experience per usual though.
The course is in pretty rough shape with a lot of dead spots. They're trying to revive it and carts were path only making play really slow.
Rough conditions
Typically a go to course. fairways are in bad shape right now, and par three tee boxes grass is over grown. For the price it’s playable. Definitely expect it to be nicer over summer. Some of the best views you get on a course in Colorado.
Not good even for winter golf
There was several spots on the fairway where it was just sand, I understand that it is still winter golf but the fairway should still be grass. Along with the patches in the fairway there was also spots on the green that were bare. Would love to play the corse when it is nice but in it's current condition I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Monday Fun
Some repair work being done in the fairways but it didn't really affect play too much. Mats on the par 3s and cart path only but at least we get a cart! Pretty quick round in 3 hours solo.
Don't Play Here
Don't play here. Not worth it. While the club house is nice, it ends there.
The fairways have MANY dirt spots with hard pan dirt. No grass. Many areas clearly should be marked "ground under repair", but I suppose that would make it completely unplayable.
The greens were very sandy with many irregular spots.
I mentioned these issues to the pro shop attendant after our round and he seemed very uninterested.
There are too many good courses in the Denver Metro area to consider playing here.
Improving Conditions
I have been avoiding this course based on what I've heard about conditions over the past couple of years. I know the course has been struggling to maintain the grass, but the $30 price tag seemed pretty attractive this week.
I'm glad I made it out! Yes, it's basically playing as 16 holes, but the conditions on the open holes are pretty good. The greens were not very fast but they were smooth. The layout is a lot of fun with a large variety of looks off the tee.
The rough was very thick due to the rain we have had over the last couple weeks, so it was tough to find the ball sometimes, and it was almost a punch out when you could locate it. I guess that is appropriate for US open weekend!
Buffalo Run deserves a lot of credit for keeping this course open, and it's obvious that they are trying their best to get everything back to good condition. I always liked the layout here, and I'm looking forward to returning soon!
Great course for the price and for beginners.
Fantastic course with some of the best-kept greens around! Great value for the price and the staff is super friendly, definitely worth a visit. Great for newer golfer! They have been under construction this year to improve the experience.
Sunday Golf Buffalo Run
So disappointing to see this course and how bad the conditions have gotten. Course should be closed. Such poor conditions. Fairways either long or big patches of dirt. Greens were OK, but sad how bad this course looks. Need more water, yet poor drainage in other spots. Very sad how bad this course has gotten.
First timer
First time playing Buffalo Run, and I was slightly disappointed by the course conditions. The fairways were either to wet or bone dry. The overall surface conditions depended on what hole you were on. I won’t be playing here again for the price.
