Well managed
These folks did a great job managing tee times with a frost delay. Slow but pretty typical for a Saturday. My only problem is that there was no exception to the “cart path only” policy for disabled guests. I have serious knee issues so walking to my ball after each shot was very difficult.
Should just walk
They didn’t let us know that no carts were allowed on the fairways had I known I would of just walked but the course and staff are great
Bad condition
Courses is Supposed to grass in the fairways obsolete on whole one and two is generally poor poor conditions Golf Carts had no windshield broken seats for tore up just a horrible experience
Horrible condition
Course was without grass ruff was clumps of grass greens were horrible layout was horrendous would not recommend I will never play again there
Still In Bad Shape
It has been over a year since I played here. Was told the course was in good shape so I thought I would give it another try. Wish I didn't!
The fairways were chewed up and in desperate need of reseeding, etc. The rough was in even worse shape and the grass was very patchy making it really hard to hit the back of the ball because there was so much dirt mixed in with the grass. Imagine hitting every shot into a divot.
The greens were in good shape and rolled pretty well.
It is really a shame because the course layout is really good and it is one of the few links style courses in the area but it is not enjoyable to play on a course in this bad of shape.
great course, needs attention
interesting and excellent golf course that needs quite a bit of attention, in places the rough is in the same condition as the fairways, overall has not been watered or cared for enough. also,, more than once my ball took a very strange bounce due to uneven grass near the greens
Good course but needs some love
Great course layout but lots of dry dirt patches. With riverdale fairly close and always in great condition I would always lean there before going to Buffalo Run.
Beautiful day golfing
Wonderful sunny 74 degree day in November. Course was in good shape. The pace of play was a little slow but overall a very good day.
The course conditions were terrible
They clearly didn’t water enough over the summer. There are large areas in the middle of fairways with no grass.
5 + hour round
The threesome In front of us playing with rental clubs from the tips .. ran out of balls by# 6 , marshal intervened , group didn’t play back which helped a bit with the almost 3 hour front , worked out a little and thanks to the staff
Very slow pace. Waiting every shot starting with the 10 th hole.
Great Layout, turf challenges
This is a nice layout. The fairways are wide but there is no intermediate rough, goes straight to native grasses. The fairways were soft and spongy in some areas and dry and cracked in others. The sand was really deep in some bunkers and thin in others making good strikes a challenge. It's definitely a course I would recommend playing and the course conditions may be from all the housing going up around the course.
Course needs work
The course was not in great shape the day we played. The fairways need watering and the weeds are starting to push on to the edges.
