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.

Challenging Layout

Buffalo Run is a course that demands accuracy and smart play. There are deep bunkers and greens that are sloped to make it difficult to keep your approach shots on the putting surface. Add some wind to the equation and you have a challenging round. The course ranger, Tom, did an outstanding job especially in the area of customer service.

Amazing conditioned course!

Long and very challenging! Deep thick unforgiving Russ surrounded by hi native grasses. Perfectly groomed greens.

Loved the length of the course and that you actually I need to be precise with your driver.

No rough, narrow fairways

First time we played this course. Starting with first hole we realized the fairways were narrow, and there was not much if any rough. If you miss the fairway, you are in weeds up to your knees, resulting in lost balls. As my son and I are high handicappers, this was more challenging that we expected.

The good: Greens were the best I had played in a long time. Fast and true. Sand traps (which were everywhere) were not hard and in good shape.

Fairways were not in the best shape but we played in a very rainy day. If you want a challenging course...and hit it straight, this would be a fun course to play.

We were just a twosome as the other twosome canceled. Was not enjoyable playing behind foursomes. Pace of play was poor. Did not see the beverage cart until 9 green.

Exceptional for the price

Greens were in fantastic condition, fairway cuts were nice with some dry spots but overall great! loved the links themes incorporated with bunkers with long grasses on perimeter, clay light sand surface in bunkers challenge the above average sand player.

Some funky mid fairway rough like grass cuts, Par 5 12th is good example, 150 stake is in landing area that is 2nd fairway rough.... just odd.

Best shape ever

It was a beautiful day and the course was in great shape. I have played this course for many years and it was in the best shape I have ever seen. I can’t wait to play it again.

Beware of the Rough

Absolutely enjoyed playing this course! Perhaps it’s because I was only on the rough once! Once you get in the rough, say buh-bye to your ball and score on that hole. The course is in great shape. Front nine is beautiful. Back nine is also beautiful but the current development and home consumer going on takes a little bit from the views. Course is unaffected and, again, is very well aintained.

Disappointing

The golf now rate was supposed to include range balls but it didn’t, not a huge deal but the staff in the pro shop made no effort to even look into it, Bigger problem was the nearly 3 hour first nine holes which caused me to leave after nine because it was brutal.

Great course with a great staff

This was my second time at this course and it is a fantastic layout. Now I am a little bias because I came within 6” on 17 from a hole in one but it is a good course. I think the back nine is more difficult than the front. The greens roll well and the fairways are in great shape. The one thing I will say is keep it down the middle. The course has a lot of native areas just off the fairway and if your ball goes in there you need a tracking device to find it. The course is a little bit out of the way but so worth the drive. The staff is great and the food at the restaurant is good as well.

Rough is deep or hardpan

Played here today for the first time in a year. The greens and fairways get 4.5 stars. The rough gets 2 stars. You'll either be so deep you can't find it or you'll be on dirt. As long as you could stick to the fairway it was good.

Bring extra balls

Tee boxes and greens in great shape but they haven’t cut the rough and balls disappear and can’t be found. Fairways are good in some areas and almost unplayable in others. We played on Tuesday afternoon and were almost alone for stretches of play. Wouldn’t go back until the rough was better maintained

Never Again

My son and I went to play. The course was poor. Fairways were the worst I have played. Parts of the fairways were bare while other’s were 3 inches. The only positive parts of the course were the greens and the cart girl. She was very pleasant.

Not well-maintained

Not well-maintained, Seems as though the mowers had the week off before I played on Tuesday. Hit several drives in the middle of the fairway that were lost due to failure to have areas mowed. I love the layout of this golf course, but it needs some serious work to be maintained properly. I just don’t think they’re putting in what they need to with man hours and it shows. I’m probably not going back
