The Tale of Two Sides
Arrived at the course and it did not seem to be very crowded. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This was one of the first Golf Now transactions they have had, but it went very well.
My wife and I played as a two-some. There were several groups in front of us, so play was a little slow. It was, however, a Holiday weekend. I would not expect this to be the norm.
The front nine was in great shape. Zoysia fairways and Bermuda greens. Great hitting surface and greens have a lot of grain to them. They can be challenging to putt, especially if one is used to bent grass. Nice layout on front with elevation changes and dog legs.
The back side is a different story. Fairways are wood lined and very hilly. Lots of blind shots and layups required. Driver is not required on the back and is likely a bad idea unless you have full control of it. Fairways are not in good shape. I don't know if the back is newer and has not had time to mature or if the tress are causing too much shade for the Zoysia to grow. Lots of bare spots. Greens however, are in good shape and similar to the front side. A sky caddie comes in handy for finding the layups. There are a couple of holes you really need to consider where you put the ball.
Overall, nice layout, nice layout, good price. I would play it again and likely will. Hopefully the back side will come in because there are some really bad spots.
Needs a lot of work
I know it’s early in the season but the fairways are some of the worst I’ve seen in state. Back nine feels like a completely different golf course with several holes that boomerang through the woods. Not my style personally..
Great
We picked a terrible day to golf, but the course was in good shape, and the staff were great
Glad I picked this course! Layout was fun, yet challenging (especially when you get to the back nine), course was in great shape for early spring, and the greens were solid (maybe a bit slow, but rolled well). Played with a couple of local guys and had a great afternoon. Would definitely play here again.
Excellent
Course was in excellent shape for this time of the year. Greens held and rolled true. Fairways were in excellent condition and the rough wasn’t overly thick. Great experience for a 20.99 Hot Deal!!
Buffalo Trace
Course is in perfect shape. Both 9 holes seem like playing two different course. Absolutely love the course
Great course!
The front and back play like completely different courses. Be ready for a challenge on the back 9. Course was in great shape and a lot of fun!
On vacation
Great course even better if you consider the price. Highly recommend
Course was great, challenging. Pace of play was horrible.
The course was great. The front and the back play as two completely different 9’s and provide unique challenges and scoring opportunities. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.
Some of the regulars gave me a hard time about playing quickly. I was alone and behind 2 groups of 3 older gentleman. I was told by the group immediately in front of me “if we let you play through, they (the group in front of them” won’t. So you might as well slow down.”
A surprising find in Jasper
Our buddies' group was pleasantly surprised with Buffalo Trace golf course. This muni is in fine condition with a challenging layout (especially the back 9), friendly staff members, and all at a reasonable price. The course is very busy so expect a lengthy round, but enjoy the rolling hills and scenic terrain as you wait.
Pace of play
There should never be a time on a course that you allow 6 players to play together. The group that was there that day held up everyone behind them.
Course maintenance
For the middle of May the course was an excellent condition.
They have removed trees to open up the course visually and functionally.
A little bit of both worlds
Front nine Being the older, of the course, is an excellent condition. Back nine needs a couple more years to get in better condition. Once the fairways, fill in
The greens are bent not Bermuda.
