Style Links

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.

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!

Slowest Round In Recent Memory

The round took 5 hours and 40 minutes. That is the headline here. Waiting on every single shot will certainly test your patience. Colorado weekend golf has become incredibly slow nearly everywhere though these days.

The course has a really nice layout and is a fun and challenging course. The conditions were still pretty hairy as the winter was a bit harsher than usual. The course is definitely a good value. Maybe just try it on a weekday when you can hopefully get a sub 5 hour round in.

course condition

I had to play with CART PATH ONLY even no restriction.

They must renovated the sprinkler system.

11th hole was closed (play 17 holes)and green is very awful.

You had to keep away from this course till it come back to shape.

I have played this course once before and it was great. The 1 star review is only because I wasn't notified by the Tee Off app that it was closed apparently because they did not have my phone number and they did not try and contact me via email. Was an hour round trip to and from the course so a pretty big waste of time.

Nope

The course conditions.\ were deplorable. The greens by and large were in terrible condition, with lots of total bare spots. The fairways were splotchy, with just clumps of green in some places. One hole was closed, but when I got there, there was only some work being done on the side of the fairway and could have been playable from the looks of it. I have been on course with more work than was present than here and those courses allowed play. I price did not reflect the poor conditions of the course.

Needs some TLC

Everything was good except for the condition of the grass and grounds. Really dry. Greens are very slow. Really dug up and messy fairways and rough. Nice facility otherwise.
