Holes 18
Type Public/Municipal
Style Links
Par 72
Length 7411 yards
Slope 130
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.

Good Course, Rough Shape

Worst course conditions I've played in years - IMO the course should be shut down for maintenance or at least keep the rough mowed.

Ranger is a jerk

Twice I've golfed here. Twice I've watched the ranger drive around just looking for problems. There weren't any. He was just insanely rude - to the point every time we talked to another group they were talking about him too. I drove up as he was balling out the dude in front of us for waiting for the group in front of him to clear the green on a short par 4. Then we watched this dude smash his driver onto the green and the ranger drove off still angry. Before he did, he yelled at me that my cart was facing the wrong way while we were waiting. Just a complete jerk

The front 9 was in Ok condition. The back 9 had 3 holes (11,14 &15) that should of been closed due to lack of growth in the fairways.

The rough was 3" to 4" long. Seems extreme for public play.

Wrong review entered

I tried to write a review about Heather ridge after we had a really bad experience with the ranger. I accidentally wrote it about this course which i didn't even end up playing. Golf now has a link under contact us that doesn't work so i can't undo it. Hopefully this is at least something - the review calling the Marshall a jerk was NOT meant for this course. I'm so sorry.

Too much under construction right now

The course is fine, just not right now. Several fairways being reseeded, and not just here or there. Sections 100 yards long and 50-70 yards wide.

Disappointed today.

The guy's I played with made the round real slow. With hole 2 closed and other holes under repair made the round not as enjoyable as usual.

Nice 98 degree day

It was a very nice day for golf. Holes 11, 14, and 15 are still not in good shape. Hopefully they will get these holes back in playable condition soon. The rest of the course was in good shape.

Cart sharing...

Otherwise, awesome round but let's talk about cart sharing with some people you get assigned with... !?!?!!

Having to share a cart with a stranger... no big deal...
Having to share a cart with a stranger and bad golfer... no big deal...
Having to share a cart with a stranger, bad golfer, and who is drunk early in the round and thinks the cart is his so I can't drive it... BIG PROBLEM...!!!

A couple tense moments but luckily, his belligerent golf game made it easier for him to calm down because he spent the day hunting and searching for his ball while I played my game and scrambled to shoot a respectable (78).

Ground under repair

Overall the course was great. They are doing construction on hole and I wish they better specified ground under repair areas and specific areas that you can hit if you went into the ground under repair. Specially the 11th hole that is a very long par 5
