Buffalo Run Golf Course
About
Buffalo Run Golf Course is a locally acclaimed 18-hole, municipal course in Commerce City. The links-style layout covers 7,411 yards from its longest tees with a par of 72. 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. Buffalo Run Golf Course's front nine is less challenging than the back nine but it builds up good practice for the second half of the game. One hole to note is the demanding 13th hole. It is a par-3 that has a well-placed bunker near the green.

This was typical rough today. Photo submitted by Kofoed27 on 06/14/2021
Bad Experience
I don't usually write reviews, but was really disappointed in the course conditions. They're in the process of installing a drainage system, but to have fairways where there's little grass, numerous holes not allowing carts, carts directed back to paths 100 yds from the green, first cut aeration with such holes you can't find your ball...just toooo much!
This course is terrible
Don’t waste your money, course sucks, Terrible condition, and the staff are not friendly at all, stay away!!!
Course conditions
The course was entirely torn apart. On hole 2 the entire fairway was sand. I understand aeration but this was unplayable.
Good day
Had to play the back nine twice since the front nine was closed due to aeration. We were notified of this ahead of time and it was fine. The back nine was in very good shape so we had a good day. Can't wait until they get the 2 or 3 holes open for carts on the back nine!! This will make playing there much better like it was in the past.
Under Maintenance - but discounted pricing = great value!
The course has been under maintenance the past year+ while they renovate the irrigation/drainage on the course. As a result, there are some pretty rough fairways with either bare dirt, over-grown fairways (as they can't cut them) or sand to repair the maintenance.
But - the greens are in really good shape. My buddy and I would adjust our lies in the fairways when it was reasonably acceptable to expect a good lie from a shot.
The rough here is no joke - it's thick and you need to watch your ball closely when not in the fairway. I lost 2 balls where my partner and I both saw the ball land in the rough, but we couldn't find it. Similarly, I found 5 balls today that were in the rough and likely lost by someone in a group in front of us. To be clear, the lost/found balls were in the rough, NOT in the hazard.
Would I play it again? At $45 (including cart), yes - I would. Buffalo Run realizes the course is under construction and is pricing it accordingly.
Decent Course
It is a decent enough course, nothing particularly special about this course that would make me come back other than the fact that it is now the closest course to my house. Food is ok at the restaurant and the course could have definitely been in better condition.
Buffalo run
There were a few holes that is under construction and in extremely poor shape. On top of that it was cart path only I would of been ok if the holes that were under construction were path only. But the whole course was path only. I love the layout but I wish they can maintain the course better. I haven't played this couse in 3 years because of the course conditions and it maybe another 3 years before I go again
Good Course, Rough Shape
Worst course conditions I've played in years - IMO the course should be shut down for maintenance or at least keep the rough mowed.
Great staff
Course was in a state of flux but staff was great and fun day.
Wrong review entered
I tried to write a review about Heather ridge after we had a really bad experience with the ranger. I accidentally wrote it about this course which i didn't even end up playing. Golf now has a link under contact us that doesn't work so i can't undo it. Hopefully this is at least something - the review calling the Marshall a jerk was NOT meant for this course. I'm so sorry.
Ranger is a jerk
Twice I've golfed here. Twice I've watched the ranger drive around just looking for problems. There weren't any. He was just insanely rude - to the point every time we talked to another group they were talking about him too. I drove up as he was balling out the dude in front of us for waiting for the group in front of him to clear the green on a short par 4. Then we watched this dude smash his driver onto the green and the ranger drove off still angry. Before he did, he yelled at me that my cart was facing the wrong way while we were waiting. Just a complete jerk
Good course in bad condition.
The potential for this course is very high, but the condition is very poor. Hopefully they will get it in shape.
The front 9 was in Ok condition. The back 9 had 3 holes (11,14 &15) that should of been closed due to lack of growth in the fairways.
The rough was 3" to 4" long. Seems extreme for public play.
