Buffalo Run Golf Course
About
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.

This was typical rough today. Photo submitted by Kofoed27 on 06/14/2021
Good tough test
2nd time I played BR this year. Conditions have improved, however, there still are areas under construction, including the driving range (mats only). Greens roll well. Rough is thick!!! I mean, they water their grass!!! Its at least a 1/2 stroke if you miss the fairway. Strike it well here to fully enjoy your round.
Good and fun course.
Fun course and good layout. Course conditions were pretty good except for about 4 holes. Would go back and recommend the course
Have fun looking for your ball
This course is narrow and the rough is very think. You can watch your tee shot land and drive up to the area and won’t be able to find your ball. Unless it’s in the fairway, good luck.
I’ve seen better. I’ve seen worse.
Over all it was a good experience. Greens were in excellent shape. 70% of holes are in excellent shape from start to finish. The remaining 30% need attention between tee and green. Very difficult course. First cut of rough is a nightmare to get out of. I lost two balls in the first cut that I expected to be in great shape. Finding fairways in general is very difficult here. Don’t stop watching a well hit tee shot - there’s no telling where it’s going to go once it lands. If you want a challenge and are okay with a few holes in rough shape - I’d recommend playing here. I’ll be going back for revenge.
Nice layout, look like some disease of grass
It is a challenging course with smooth greens. There was quite a bit of GUP. Always enjoy the layout. Nice clubhouse and staff.
Great course.
Great course, great conditions. Greens were great, rolled true, and had a lot of undulation. Beautiful views, and beautiful homes around the course
For $40, it’s a heck of a deal! I will be playing Buffalo Run more after my first round here.
Great day on a great course
Tee times were on time. Did not have to wait on a single shot as pace of play was great. Course conditions were very good for end of April. The rough is green and thick. Fairway are decent, spotting is some area. Holes are equipped with flag-sticks and shallow cups. Greens held nicely and rolled pretty well. Its been 10 years since was last visit, will come back very soon! Great day, nice layout!
Conditions
Understanding that it’s February, however the fairways were in really bad shape! The greens were okay for the time of year. They could roll them. Tough day on a course that usually is well maintained! Not any longer!
Winter golfing
One of few courses still open when it below 42 Fahrenheit, fairways and the greens were still relatively in good shape for winter golf. The staff at the pro shop were great!
What has happened?
Friendly staff. Excellent clubhouse. Electric carts.
For a municipality which has the largest tax base in the Denver area, you would think they would maintain this course better. Fairways were mostly dead grass (not because of the winter). Lots of dirt and bald spots. I played this course when it was first opened and it was a great course. It's a shame to see what neglect has done. The entire course needs to be overhauled. Close it down and reseed. Very disappointing.
4 1/2 stars
I have played a few times and would says it’s a Very good course, with some tricky holes, especially if you are trying to get more challenge than Denver Municipal courses. It’s also reasonable pricing . We play the golds and the Par-3a are long. I played late fall and the course was in ok shape. Staff is always friendly, really cool guy as the starter, that is resourceful. My only knock would be the slower play 2 of the 3 times played.
Terrible Shape
This use to be one of the best-maintained courses in the metro area, no longer. On most of the holes, you couldn't even tell where the fairway started and stopped because most of it was spotty or just flat out dirt. Really disappointing because the course layout is really good.
The pace of play was great, mostly because no one else was out there. The staff and amenities are also top-notch.
Very disappointing!
Worst kept course I’ve played in a decade
Course came highly recommended but he had obviously not been there in a long time. Almost every fairway was burned out or had some sort of disease because grass was in short supply. They had thrown sand which I assume had seed in it all over the place. Greens were not in as bad a shape but you would definitely have to play winter rules from the middle of the fairway. Not sure if they just didn’t water all summer but maybe next year will be better. We had 4 groups on the 11th hole and called the pro shop for a ranger. They didn’t have one
Same here, it is really sad how much they have neglected this course, use to be fantastic.
