Be Forewarned

Had to wait for cart to become available evidently due to overbooking. Round took close to 6 hours. Quit at the turn because pace was so slow. No marshals out on the course. Restrooms disgusting. Only positive thing was the person who set up our bags on cart.

Slow going

Greens and tee boxes are in poor condition. Sand repairs on most greens. Fairways are okay. Course seemed dry and not a green as other courses. Golf shack ran out of carts. Took us 4 hrs to play 11 holes. Got bored waiting to hit so we left. This course has been in much better shape in the past. Very disappointing.

First Time Playing

First Timer a Buffalo Creek

Played on a Sunday afternoon and the pace was slow. Over 5 hrs. Having said that, course layout is good if you like to let loose off the tee. Tee boxes on back are in good shape, front typical for this time of the year. Fairways are in fair condition, are fast but some rough spots. They have been work on the rough spots so they will get better. Staff very friendly.

I will return.

Good course

The course is in good condition. Actually the pricing of the course 60 to 40$ give a good value for the money. Not a perfect course but good enough to enjoy our game

Extra long when windy

This is a county course so the maintenance is kept up, the greens were good with some repair work on the go. The course plays 121 slope from the white tees and when its windy breaking 90 is out of reach for me, Many of the par 4's are over 400 yards. Next time I play I'll move up to the Gold tees. The landing areas are generous and playable.

Pace of play

Our round was 5 plus hours. The group in front of office thought they were playing the US Open. Fell way behind group ahead of them. Green play was incredibly slow. Two suggestion 1) 7 minute gaps between tee times slows play down enormously, 10 minutes gaps would solve the problem. 2) Having rangers on the course to encourage faster play might solve the slow play.

new favorite

I live on a very nice course in Augusta so when I compliment a course as a new favorite, you can be sure it's got something going for it.It's hard to keep a golf course nice in the winter but you can tell, this place makes an effort. The fairways and tee boxes are overseeded nicely so most places you have turf to hit off of. They must have a lot of play or some negligent golfers because there are a LOT of unsanded divots. There's just enough difficulty in shot placement to make it interesting but not daunting. the sand bunkers could have been improved somewhat but are still better than most mid level courses. One of the most outstanding of their features were the greens. they had been recently sprayed with a liquid green spray so they looked very good. There are bare spots, here and there but they are sanded and being repaired where necessary. Putts run true, I think. Some of the greens have severe slope. I really liked the layout and I will be back if I can arrange a tee time that suits my desires.

Fair condition

The course is in fairly good condition. The greens need maintenance, are getting worst between January and now. The pace of play has been long because of the players (Friday afternoon). Recommend this course

Good value, but could be better

Buffalo Creek is in better shape than last year and I think it is good value. Kudos to the greenskeeping staff that have improved tees, fairways and greens

However, I have 2 things I don't like about it though.

1. Pace of play was therrible yesterday, we teed off at 11:47 and every tee we got to there was a group waiting to hit. The round took just over 5 hrs. Tee times are too tightly packed, 2 every 15 mins.

2. Not enough carts, if you have a tee time after 12 on a busy day you most likely will wait for a cart as the early time has not finished yet (5 hr rounds will do that)

I think spacing out the tee times would fix both issues.

I rated overall a 3 star, but I think it is more like 3.5 star
