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.

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.

Buffalo Run Golf

This is the second time golfing Buffalo Run.

For the second time, the staff is very good and extremely friendly but the course was found to be in poor condition for the following reason. There were sunflower seeds and cigarette butts on 5 of the greens. I think it would be good for the Ranger to watch who is smoking and keep an eye on them. This is not Buffalo Runs' fault, but Golf Now should have an update on their webpage so a golf course can let them know when there is going to be work done on a course so players can know that.

A fun and entertaining round of golf

This round was played in early spring conditions with the greens just punched. This was a known so no consideration is given to putting conditions. Winter was a bit hard on the fairways but it looks like the grounds crew is working hard at getting the course ready for prime play. I liked the way the fairways were being planned evident by the white paint marking were they are planning on cutting the rough. Sand was in very good shape with sufficient depth to make a bunker truly playable as a bunker. if Buffalo Run isn’t on your list, it needs to be.

Great round

Had a great day on the course. I have to say that Christina is hands down the best cart girl ever!! She is very friendly and comes by several times on each nine to check to see if you need anything. I love her.

I always enjoy playing this course.

I always enjoy playing Buffalo Run and is one of my go to courses. Conditions were decent for being the middle of winter time. There was some on course maintenance work and the pace of play was a little over 4 and a half hours.

Loved the layout

I loved the layout of the course. Great landing areas for well placed drives. Bunkers well placed and enough sand to make the playable. Greens we in good shape for this time of year. Lots of undulation so landing on the correct tier is import.

Nice course poor place of play.

Course layout was challenging but the pace of play was really slow. It was about 3 hours for 9 holes. The Marshall was friendly but did not get the 2 groups ahead of us to speed up their play.

Quit after 9 holes.

The staff was very friendly and the course was challenging but pace of play was not good.

Not sure I would play there again unless I have 6 hours to play….

Well managed

These folks did a great job managing tee times with a frost delay. Slow but pretty typical for a Saturday. My only problem is that there was no exception to the “cart path only” policy for disabled guests. I have serious knee issues so walking to my ball after each shot was very difficult.
