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.

Decent Course

13th Hole unavailable to play due to water piping replacement

Brakes on cart we’re not set property

Greens were very rough due yo previous punching

Most rough was too deep to find a miss hit

GPS worked well

fFag positioning on green was hard to determine due to very small red-colored position indicator

Buffalo Run or Buffalo Wind?

Every time I've played this course it's been windy. The grassy is patchy, weedy, bare dirt, and think rough where it's grown in. It's problaby my least favorite cause I've ever played

Very Poor Conditions

Nice layout, extremely nice, friendly and professional staff. The conditions were terrible. I've played the course many times before, maybe 3 years ago and earlier. I was shocked at how drastically the conditions have declined. The tee boxes are poorly maintained, the fariways are full of poorly grown in areas and dirt patches, the rough is similar to the fairways and the transition areas green to tee are horrible. This was a course I would have highly recommended...not any more. I understand there is irrigation construction in process, but I don't understand how the conditions have declined so drastically.

Rude marshals under construction

The marshal kept digging us even though the group ahead made us wait on every hole, he even acknowledged we couldn’t go faster but kept lurking, very rude

Bit of a mess

A golf course carved out of a construction site. In addition to the fact the course was just in really bad shape with what seems like divots and burnt grass everywhere, there is construction going on and equipment all over the place. The par 5’s you basically need a guide to tell you what to do bc there are so many unintentional risk areas. Weather has not been great to this course, but get ready for a bit of a zoo. Amenities and staff are awesome though.

Great course

I’ve golfed for a bout a year, this is a great course that’s just friendly enough. If you slice, you’ll definitely have you shot at losing some balls but the fairways are fairly open The condition of the course is amazing for the price. Greens can be tricky at times but fun. Pace of play was amazing, idk if we got lucky but it seemed like we had the course to ourselves

Definitely recommend and will be back.

Great course. Slow play.

Love playing this course. Booked an 8 am tee time in hopes of playing a decent paced round. Waited on almost every shot, sometimes 15 minutes. Not sure why slow golfers book early tee times.

Disappointed

The staff was very friendly but the condition of the course was bad. The person we played with had their golf cart quit in the middle of the game, which also happened to the players in front of us. We’ve played this course several times and enjoyed it so it was very disappointing.

Fun challenging course

If you like a links type of course you will love Buffalo Run. Very beautiful and well maintained. The staff was great all the way to the cart girl.

Great course

This is a wonderful course with lots to offer to all golfers. This is also a course that once a year does a Hero week which is actually 6 weeks long, once every Thursday from 6pm-8pm where you are with a golf pro working on your game.

This is free for all Veteran's, I as a vet value this greatly and because of this course and their support to vets I will hands down rather pay to play at this course then any other.

Look no further for "home" course

I played 36 holes on a Thursday and had a great experience both rounds of 18. Playing from the Blues, the course is challenging enough if you want to play like you're on Tour, and it's fun and enjoyable if you just want to get out and play. The views are spectacular as you change elevations thruout the course. My favorite view is from the tee boxes on #6 as you look past a blind tee shot towards the mountains in the background.
