About

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.

Par 4 paradise...

The collection of par four holes on this course (from the Gold/Black tee boxes) are as good as any on any golf course in Colorado. Solid tests for all golfers and opens up several great playing options as well.

Nice twilight course

The weather was good, the people were so friendly. The course is a bit beat up (back 9), but scenery is awesome.

Enjoyable day

Got paired with a super nice couple. Enjoyable round even though there still is a couple holes needing a lot of work and one hole completely closed.

76 degrees & windy... perfect!

All holes are open! Hole#11 is still a little rough due to new irrigation lines cut down the fairway but it'll cure fine later in the season.

Love this little piece of Scotland in northeast Denver metro area (Henderson). Highlands-type grasses/native grasslands, well placed bunkers including some fairway bunkers, rolling hills of course so practice up on your shot game shots, especially classic bump & run shots.

Awesome!

Great value - course is recovering

This course took a beating over the winter. There are still a few holes with visible repair work on the fairways and greens, but because of that the green fees are very attractive and most of the course is now in very good condition

Only 17 Holes? Slow pace and a super beat up course

The complete course isn’t available for play due to construction. Which isn’t mentioned until checking in at the pro shop. A good portion of the greens have huge areas of patched overgrown turf obstructing putting lines. There’s dead clumps of mowed grass all over the fairways and rough covering your ball making it nearly impossible to find and keep up pace of play.

Always fun but...

Not when you have to follow vacationing people who've NEVER played golf before and are trying to sneak in a full round in 3 hours because they think that's all it should take...L-O-N-G D-A-Y...!?!?!

One of the worst courses I have played.

I have played this course for 20 years. But the last two years it has gone down to one of the worst course I've played.Either the ground keeper's need to be talked to or change management or whatever. The couple we played with wouldn't play this course for $20.00 if he ever played this course again. I took my grandson here telling him it was one of the best courses around and then I had to eat my words.Take care of the course or you will never have anyone playing there. Or maybe that is what you intend to do shut it down so you can build more house's on it.

Mow the first cut shorter.

The fairways were very nice. If you ball rolled into the first cut. Good luck finding it. It would be nice if they would cut the first cut a little shorter. Keep it on the fairway all the time and you’ll be fine.

Fix the Greens

The overall course was in good shape...tee boxes are in good (except for 17) and most but not all fairways are in good condition. A few greens are in bad shape...bald spots...winter kill, etc.
