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.

Buffalo Run July 2024

The grass on the course has really suffered with the lack or rain / on going irritation project. Hit from several “fairways” that were rough style grass or ground under repair.

Also every pin location on 07/25/24 was placed in the hardest location. IE on a hill and tucked to edge of green / behind bunkers.

Don’t mind a few tucked pins but every green was a little much.

Talked to the maintenance crew while waiting for the group in front of us to clear who admitted they placed the pin locations as hard as possible to mess with their coworker who was playing the course that day.

Improving but not there yet

Still a lot of patchy and/ or overwatered swampy fairways. Greens are improving but slow and bumpy (at least no bare patches like a year ago…). There is a lot of waist-high weeds along the fairways that only present a challenge to the high-handicappers that are already playing slow. I have no idea why they leave foot-tall hay around the green side bunkers - are they hosting the US Open? Seems unnecessarily penal.

Fair warning: go the bathroom in the clubhouse before your round or on the turn. The on-course facilities are literally latrines, Gross.

Horrible course conditions

There are numerous holes that are cart path only but not mentioned to you. Not to mention the course fairways are in horrible condition. Seems like the sprinkler system does. It exist anywhere on this course. Would not come back nor recommend this course to anyone that cares about not hitting their clubs off of dirt patches.

Buffalo run is beautiful

Course in good health and my game wasn't in good standing. Find myself in few feet off the fairway and rough is very rough to get out. So prepare yourself to hold tight on those clubs and swing out your shoes to get out of the rough.

Staff are Friendly and professional. Bring out a family from Texas was worth it and he would recommend to return again. Thanks again and will return

Way Overpriced

So I’ve been to this course a handful of times and it’s gotten progressively worse. My first time golfing, 3 years ago I came here and loved it. By the end of that season they were doing construction and it’s been under construction ever since. The prices were fairly low to reflect the quality of play; but they recently raised the prices, so I assumed the construction was done. It’s not, the course is still horrible. It’s only 16 holes and 2 par 5’s are playing as par 3’s. The fairways are the worse I’ve ever seen and the greens are average at best. Pace of play is actually really slow because the course layout is so confusing with all the construction; I actually got lost on the back 9. Overall just a bad experience. I do NOT recommend.

I have always loved the layout of this course.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve played the course, the conditions were horrible as the fairways were dried out the pace play, especially on the back nine was very slow

Course in Rough shape

Fairways in front nine are very rough, dead grass everywhere to point that 2 holes are shortened to 150 yard par 3s with mats to hit off. Greens slow and bumpy, looks like pin placements haven’t been moved in a week- grass is growing over the edge of hole. Windy windy, bland layout with holes just routed thru thousands of houses in flat prairie- no trees.

Basically just a run of the mill medicore muni- but at least you’re hitting the ball. Last two holes are cool designs.

Should cost less

I haven't been here in years but the course is still under repair and I would guess another year until it is in playing condition. Greens are good.

Beverage service

Started at 4pm on the back 9, only saw cart lady once at hole 15, she stopped for 2 of the guys that was whit me and then after that she left without waiting that me and my other friend finished putting. Called the club house to send her back and they didn’t had radios or even her phone number to communicate with her. After I finish the back 9 and head to the first 9, I stop at the clubhouse to get me a drink and they only giving canned drinks because they had some issues with the juices or something like that.
