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.

Too much money

The staff was very friendly. The cost of playing is way too high. The course is in terrible condition. The greens are very poorly kept, including spots of sand where grass is absent. The pace was very slow. Again, the staff was great! It just is way too expensive to play on a dirt track and 4:30hrs to get to the 13th hole.

Poor Management of Bookings & Mediocre Cours Conditions

Dirt fairways, overgrown second cut and 20-25 minute pace of play per hole. Has potential but stacking foursomes for the entire day makes me thinks that the club cares more about revenue rather than customer experience and quality of the course. 20 miles out of town to sit hole after hole watching people get drunk and search for their ball for 10 minutes, no thanks. Course rangers nowhere to be found. Left after 13/18 holes due to the back up. Ten minutes between being able to hit again? Not this guy. Handicap pairings suggested.

Don’t bother

Unless walking don’t bother. They don’t have enough carts and even admit the ones they have are on their last leg. Staff is super unhelpful. I had to get a refund after driving to the course. Plenty of courses around that are better.

Very poor condition

I play most of the public Denver area courses, and this was my 1st Buffalo Run experience. This course is BY FAR in the worst condition. The fairways, greens and tee boxes were awful. It appears to me that the maintenance crew all must have quit.

All other city courses are pretty well maintained. Not Buffalo Run. Even Kennedy is in better shape, and that says a lot..

This is a course to be avoided. Embarassing!

Design

Extended length rough of 80 to 100 yards where fairway should be on par 5’s is just plain poor design. Laying up off a par 5 tee because of rough is never done unless warranted by water hazards or such. To just randomly have long extended rough and one par 5 had 2 separate areas is really poor design. Get rid of those areas so good players can lay up and spin the ball from a fairway.

Greens rolled very well. Some areas on greens were patchy but not yet overwhelming. Hopefully your greenskeeper will address those areas before they spread to more than 5% of greens

Booked 18-But staff getting home is more important…

2 golfers, 5:20 Tee Time. With the sun staying up later we no doubt could play 18. Staff right off the bat was trying to say how it was slow and backed up, but that wasn’t the case. We wouldn’t have driven 50 minutes just for 9 holes. When you book 18 holes you should at least be given the chance to at until dark and we were forced off 2 hours before visibility was even questionable. Zero respect for the evening golfers time/money. Course was nice w/ a cool layout though I will say that. Clubhouse was locked so so could t argue for a rain check. But this review will have to do.
