Greens
Evidently someone tore up 2 greens with a car. We weren’t notified until we reached the course for check in . A “temporary “ green was set up on 2 holes with an oversized hole . Maybe we should reduce the price until it back to full potential
Pace
Even though course was jammed packed…. Pace was great. Never understood why they don’t have a beverage cart on course though…..
Over crowded
Very slow play, greens are very were very
Bumpy .
Always challenging
One of 3 municipal courses in Manatee County and probably the most challenging. I have enjoyed playing this course over the past 30 years and still enjoy playing here.If you break 90 you’re totally happy.
Golf course rating.
Overall, good experience but pace of play needs to improve.
Good muni
Staff was totally friendly and joined three other people to make a foursome.We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the round. I have been playing Buffalo Creek for the past 30 years and have enjoyed every round of golf as the course has always been great.
BC
The front nine was pretty slow. I don't have the scorecard but going from a par 4 to a par 5 on the front nine, there needs to be a sign giving directions. We weren't the only one who made the turn to the right and played the wrong hole. Had to go back and then we skipped the long par 5 to get behind the group we were playing behind.
2ND CHANCE ?
1ST THE NEG. A REAL CRAPPY DRIVNG RANGE AND SHORT GAME AREA. ALSO IF THINKING OF WALKING BE AWARE OF SOME HOLES ARE VERY FAR APART.
FAIRWAYS WERE FAIR,GREENS WERE GOOD A LITTLE BUMPY. GOLFED WITH A GREAT GROUP ALL FROM CHICAGO AREA. COURSE COULD USE A LITTLE WATER ON IT. AND IF YOU LIKE LOOKING AT GATORS THEN YOU WILL BE HAPPY. I SAW AT LEAST 8
Hurry up and wait
Buffalo is notorious for being backed up and lack of carts. Although you wait the course is fun to pkay. Expect 5-6 hours for 18 especially during snowbird and spring breakers
Overbooked
Way overbooked. Can't even get carts back in for afternoon tee times. Arrive normal time to be ready and have to wait for a cart to come in before you can load clubs. Wait every shot. As many as for four groups on past 4's.
Nice Round of golf on a windy but nice day.
The course overall was in good shape for February. There was good grass in the fairways, and rough. The bunkers were a little rough. Pace of play on this day was very good around 4 hours and 10 minutes.
Overall course rating
I've been playing Buffalo creek since it's inception. Used to live less than a mile from the course. It's fair to say that it gets alot of play and not enough TLC. But the greens were fast. Alot of different kinds of grass and a few patches under repair. The fairways over seeded but not bad to make contact. Roughs are rough. Tee boxes are over seeded and have alot of unrepaired divots. No sand boxes available. But again for a public course and the price of golf today in this area. (Average cost for more upscale course between $120 - $150.) This is a really good deal. Paid $55 after 12.
