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.

A heads up would have been appreciated

We play the course a few times a year. Last Tuesday was disappointing. Arrived for a 1240 tee time. Advised the front nine was closed for aeration and we had to play the back 9 twice. Weather was perfect but they had aerated the back 9 greens the day before and they were heavily sanded as well. We muddled through and it was fun but it was disappointing.

Poor Condition

I know it’s still early April, but the course is in very poor condition. Hit out of dirt from middle of the fairway on 1&2, very poorly patched green on 4. Paid for 18 but only played 9 as it didn’t feel like real golf. Might use the 9 hole rain check in a few months if conditions improve.

Excellent course, they’re already watering the greens and as the season moves to summer play will become more challenging.

Irrigation project affected conditions

This is a good course when the conditions are good. They are doing a 1st irrigation project since it opened. Thus, 2 holes were not available for play, bummer - holes #10 & 5. This makes for a bit of extra challenge for walkers. The layout always makes the course a challenge, but there are some spots in the grass and fairways...and even on some of the greens that are suboptimal, to be honest. Delicate shots near the greens are a bit extra challenging. One golfer in the group thought the bunkers had construction dirt, but it still felt like sand to me. Still, a nice day with pleasant company can make it worth it. You just can't be in the 18 holes or nothing mindset.

Links Course in the Wind

This is a good course that is thoughtfully laid out. It has a links style that plays into the the surroundings and takes advantage of the wind in the area. Several of the holes would change dramatically based on wind direction. The greens were good but not overly fast. I enjoyed the course and the facilities. I will play it again.

Super slow

Probably the slowest round I’ve ever played. No marshals on the course to keep up the pace of play. Hole 11 was none playable so you would think it wouldn’t be that bad… we were all wrong! Out of all the city courses I played on the weekend this season this one was by far the slowest. If there were rangers/marshals on the course this could have been avoided. Took us about 5hours and 20min to get through the round. With having to wait after each shot made it hard to find a grove and play well.. I probably won’t be playing this course again anytime soon.

Classic Fall golf in Colorado!

This SCOTLAND-like piece of land is fun to play and worth the rate. Regular rates are higher than the $45 I paid but that was due to some new irrigation work they are completing and appropriately, they dropped their rate down since we couldn't play #12. At full price, this course is well worth the drive to Henderson/Commerce City in the Reunion neighborhood. Talk about expansion, Reunion is massive and they will continue building this area out until 2025 at least. In the summer, this course plays longer and tough. In the Fall, you get to enjoy the layout, some Fall bounces and rolls and of course, the changing colors! Cheers!
