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.

I will not play this course again

The fairways are in terrible shape. Course overall is poorly maintained with excessive burn spots and hardpan on all fairways. I played about a month ago and contributed the poor conditions to early season. But after a month now the conditions have gotten worse. Poor value for the money. I do not recommend.

Needs maintenance

The course clearly is not maintained well. The fairways were patchy. The roughs unkept. And the greens has many bare spots. Will never play this course again.

Terrible

We had two men behind us whistling at us while we putted, threatening us with violence if we don’t pick it up. Spent max 10 min a hole. Talked to Ryan the “manager” and he said that he doesn’t have the power to give us a refund or a round of golf and gave us range Tokens. Pretty laughable considering the harassment and threats of violence we received from the two drunks behind us. Nice course but remember it’s still commerce city. Poor management on Ryan’s end I will be telling everyone to stay away from an establishment that is okay with this behavior.

Nice track needs water

Super nice people....we waited on all 9 tee boxes but only for 4 or 5 minutes each time...

I went low.... 4 over ....5 pars 4 bogeys 19 putts.....ugh

I was asked to read putts after draining some five footers

my 7 iron was on point

My shirt and short combo were on point and admired....

No beer cart which was disappointing...

brought out my 3 wood for the first time in 3 years ...it is back in the garage......

greens and fairways very dry....had good runs from low trajectory shots....

My shoes were top notch ...no one disputed this....

Overall proud of the course and the Buffalo Burger after the round was A+!

Good course

I was a little hesitant after reading some recent reviews of this course, but it it still early in the year and I'm trying to see a variety of courses.

Buffalo Run has a good practice set up. You get your cart and go to the range/practice area, which is also right by the first tee. I was able to get a full warm up and be right there when it was my tee time.

The course itself played as I would expect from most front range municipal courses at this time of year. A lot of good play with the occasional ground under repair or places where you may need to move your ball a foot or two.

The greens were very slow for what I have been playing lately. They look very good other than a few patchy areas, I'm guessing I caught the course trying to grow them out just a touch before they get cut down. Reads were good, but I would love to play them when they are quick.

Overall I really enjoyed the course, it had a links feel with some dangerous pot bunkers, a variety of challenging holes and great weather.

Poor condition

Over the last few years, this course has continually been in fiery poor shape— both fairways and greens. It’s a shame because it’s a nice layout.

Dog Track

This course used to be kept in great shape, now it’s terrible…..lots of bare spots/dirt on tee boxes, fairways and greens. Worst conditions of any course around and yet they still charge full rates. Won’t be playing here again.

Nice course

My girlfriend and I walked 9 holes on 4/11/22. We were 20 minutes early after checking in and were discussing walking over to the putting practice area, when one of the employees offered us a ride on a cart to the practice area. The employee took us over and waited while we practiced and then took us back. This is first-class friendly service!!! We had a great round with a pair of junior golfers that were very good. The weather held up for us and it was a beautiful morning. Could not have asked for a better experience!

Course going downhill

Fairways looked like cow pasture, greens were in decent shape. They did just cross hatch and sand greens, but needs some loving. Fairways and second cut rough needs some serious grass replacement and loving.
