Style Links
Par 72

Slope 139
Rating 74.7

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.

76 degrees & windy... perfect!

All holes are open! Hole#11 is still a little rough due to new irrigation lines cut down the fairway but it'll cure fine later in the season.

Love this little piece of Scotland in northeast Denver metro area (Henderson). Highlands-type grasses/native grasslands, well placed bunkers including some fairway bunkers, rolling hills of course so practice up on your shot game shots, especially classic bump & run shots.

Awesome!

Be prepared to hunt balls

Greens are in kind of rough shape, a lot of patched turf, 11 is closed for an irrigation project and be ready to hunt for anything that doesn’t land in the fairway. Heck, be ready to hunt for anything that rolls off the fairway, our group piped multiple drives that landed dead center and we couldn’t find them.

Get what you pay for

This course is under extreme repair. Many of the greens are patchy and patched with sod. Some holes are completely ruined and on the repair. Give this course a couple years and it should be great.

Great value - course is recovering

This course took a beating over the winter. There are still a few holes with visible repair work on the fairways and greens, but because of that the green fees are very attractive and most of the course is now in very good condition

Only 17 Holes? Slow pace and a super beat up course

The complete course isn’t available for play due to construction. Which isn’t mentioned until checking in at the pro shop. A good portion of the greens have huge areas of patched overgrown turf obstructing putting lines. There’s dead clumps of mowed grass all over the fairways and rough covering your ball making it nearly impossible to find and keep up pace of play.

Always fun but...

Not when you have to follow vacationing people who've NEVER played golf before and are trying to sneak in a full round in 3 hours because they think that's all it should take...L-O-N-G D-A-Y...!?!?!

One of the worst courses I have played.

I have played this course for 20 years. But the last two years it has gone down to one of the worst course I've played.Either the ground keeper's need to be talked to or change management or whatever. The couple we played with wouldn't play this course for $20.00 if he ever played this course again. I took my grandson here telling him it was one of the best courses around and then I had to eat my words.Take care of the course or you will never have anyone playing there. Or maybe that is what you intend to do shut it down so you can build more house's on it.

Mow the first cut shorter.

The fairways were very nice. If you ball rolled into the first cut. Good luck finding it. It would be nice if they would cut the first cut a little shorter. Keep it on the fairway all the time and you’ll be fine.

Fix the Greens

The overall course was in good shape...tee boxes are in good (except for 17) and most but not all fairways are in good condition. A few greens are in bad shape...bald spots...winter kill, etc.

Nice 👍🏾 Course!

Oh, this is a very nice course! Very nice layout challenging holes water does come in to play. With all golf courses after the arctic freeze we had last year greens have a lot of bad spots on them, but still very playable! And I’m from out of town, but once I come back, I will definitely play this course again!
