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.

Not friendly to newcomers

Poor treatment when entering pro shop - Not welcomed we had a threesome instead of foursome- paid for the 4th player anyway and was told we could have our Own carts. The young girl was struggling with payment - we then went out in 2 carts and let a 2 some go through on 2nd hole. Then a single player ion next hole- then we had a 3 some on us by 4 tee- we were frustrated with being played into early , then we actuality had 2 guys cone out and finally give us a cart and they received a call that there were complaints and the possibility of an assault on my girlfriend “so they said.”.

We laughed as my partner hails from NY and I from Chicago so we are pretty loud- Especially watching the 2 players make a combined 26 on the hole. My girlfriend was only upset due to the poor planning on the pairings and having to drive past her ball since we had a 3rd group in 3 holes play right into us due to having 2 carts and letting the 2 some play through on 2 (courtesy for Less players), but took 25 minutes to play one hole !

Needless to say- NOT a fun start! We suggested tying up.into 4somes or at least 3 players for smoother play...

After that the head ranger came out- we apologized for speed of play that was NOT our fault at all, and for the call the accused one of us of assaulting my girlfriend- And of course nothing of the sort happened at all-

We explained what had transpired and he understood and said “enjoy the rest of our round-

Play sped up and all was well as he checked in is 2wice more - However, my girlfriend decided to not play last 7 holes because she was frustrated and practicing for an upcoming event - and she said her day and concentration was ruined in the 2nd - 5th hole-

I feel the young girl at the desk should have received assistance from other male in the shop who paid no attention to us upon entry and gave us no assistance, which was not a favor to us for our 1st time on course-

The track itself was well taken care of and challenging enough without worrying about balls being fired at us from 1green until 5th fairway!

Course - well groomed and great - staff that day other than older gentleman who rode out to is - D- poor

Good layout.

the course is attractive, well planned and challenging from the back tees but with forward tees that cater well to beginners. Greens were true. Semi-rough fair and many native areas. Holes mainly straight. Good, long par 3s. Only criticism will be solved as soon as a the residential construction around the course is finished and it can be nurtured to its full charm.

Poorly maintained, but very nice course

I really like this layout and wish that it was better maintained. When it initially opened it was a gem. It was well run and played like a top flight public course, but now it is maintained like a poor muni. The exception would be the greens, they were very nice. The tee boxes and fairways were spotty, and the grass off the cart paths was worn out or dirt. The traps had "sand" that looked like clay. It really needs some love to get back to what it once was.

Great for Twilight

First time I’ve been at Buffalo Run for awhile. Pleasantly surprised by the course conditions. Greens were very fast and in good shape, although they were littered with ball marks. We got a good deal with Cart for 9 holes for $24 per person late in the afternoon, that’s one of the better deals around town. I will defUnitedly be returning to this course in the future.

Greens are fabulous

Fabulous greens and two out of three fairways are awesome. There are a number of fairways were it seems topsoil was in short supply. Great layout. Quite a nice outing

5 holes were cart path only. Repairs in middle of peak season? Save your money and play elsewhere.

Course is in good shape

The course is in good shape even with the summer heat beating down. Pace of play was a little slower than what is expected. There was also a fair amount of construction happening around the course with the new houses being built. Still one of my favorite courses to play.

Nothing special..

Th course itself is ok .it is a non walkable real estate development. Course condition is average. Greens loaded with ball marks. Course pushes carts off hole far from green. It results in a ton of walking and slower play.

Hot and Noisy

Played golf in a war zone. Road construction, house construction-very noisy. Slow group in front of us (a twosome) with 5 open holes in front of them. Way too much cart path only.

Construction site.

This course has no trees and tons of tall grass. The rough was cut in what seemed like layers so your ball was deep in the whole time.

The course had no real character. You could tell they wanted it to pass a very nice course, however it was not.

You can only ride your cart on half the course which defeats the purpose.

If this course cost half the price it does to play it would definitely be worth it, but for $60 with a cart I would definitely avoid this place and do something in Denver. Every public course in Denver is more affordable and in much better shape.

Agree -- this place is a dog track. There are much better places to play in Aurora like Murphy Creek, Meadow Hills and Saddle Rock.

Rey good course. Lots of fun.

Conditions were a tad dry but it is July in Colorado. The course layout is nice and they make good use of elevation and bunkers. A few of the greens are very challenging. Staff was super friendly and helpful, some of the nicest I’ve encountered on a course. Well done!

Nothing better than playing a course that has almost half the holes as no carts allowed. Would've been nice having the information before booking a tee time. And for the course being half cart path only the course was in horrible condition.
