About

Holes 18
Type Public/Municipal
Style Links
Par 72
Length 7411 yards
Slope 139
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.

In rough shape, price sucks you in

Course is in rough shape, several fairways have dirt strips. Greens are in decent shape, but price point sucks you in.

Really Beat Up

The entire course is in real bad shape. I know they are working on it it it feels like they have been working on it for years and years. I would stay clear of playing there for the rest of 2025 and hope everything is back in order for 2026.

Wouldn’t recommend Buffalo Run

Poor course conditions in the middle of the high season. Large dirt movers driving right next to golf carts. No driving range-just nets. And none of the aforementioned was notified ahead of time. There’s a reason that it’s easy to get a last minute tee time at this course!

This Course is Coming Back Around!

After years of drainage and irrigation modifications, this course is coming back around.

There are some areas that fancy-pants golfers won't be happy with, and the driving range is closed for reconstruction, but all-in-all it's a good experience.

The current price reflects these challenges. It'll be worth $100/round once everything is back in good condition.

First course to play on golf trip

Positive: Able to get a tee time quickly. Good service from employees. Great layout with different challenges around the course. Greens in great condition.

Negative: Lots of.ground under repair which was not reported to us during check in. Maybe there was a sign and I could have missed it. Pace of play a little slow.

Couple holes are getting renovated so not expecting it to be perfect. Greens are in great shape. By the end of the year or next year it will be back to amazing shape all around.

Under Renovation

This course is under heavy renovation. The practice tee is comprised of netting about 10 feet from the tee box. Many holes are cartpath only. Many dead areas or under construction areas in the fairways. Overall I think that Buffalo Run has a great layout and will definitely play it again after the renovation is complete.

Fun course

I have been playing at Buffalo Run for years. There’s construction going on which shortens 2 holes. I can’t wait for the future layout

Gem

Aside from the 2 par 4's converted to par 3's, the course was awesome! Great layout and challenging. Some patchy spots, but the price made up for those. I will be back to play this course again.
