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
Lots of sun!
Ways out from Denver but not crowded. Saw drink cart on front 9 but not on the back when a drink would have been nice. No real shade.
Terribly maintained course with a lot of wasted potential
I used to play here a lot 3 years ago and it was great but now the course is in absolutely terrible condition. It was worth it to play for 40 bucks but now at 60 bucks it’s just not worth it. Has the potential to be a amazing course but has the worst maintenance I have seen in the Denver area and for the most part has a good staff but the starter/ranger is unnecessary rude, even to me (4.2 HCP). The only reason I am giving the staff a low score is because the starter/ranger is seriously unbelievably rude and makes me want to tell everyone I know not to come here ever just because because of him.
Pleasant surprise
Course is a links style excellent shape. Staff is amazing. Best greens I putted on this year! We will be back agai! Amazing price for this course!
Challenging layout, POOR condition
The layout itself was fun with some very challenging components to test your game, but for the money would not recommend this course at all right now. Fairways and rough are in poor condition. A good tee shot in the fairway is still a gamble on getting a good lie, very patchy, lots of areas with no grass. Greens are the only thing in decent shape but quite grainy, doesn’t seem like they get cut or rolled often, ball tends to bounce and zigzag back and forth on a putt. Greens are easy to read, but do not rolled very pure.
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
Buffalo Run Experience
This course is really getting into good shape. Had a great time and the staff is very hospitable.
Great
Par 5 was play as par 3 ,but overall great shape
