About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 71
Length 7078 yards
Slope 145
Rating 81.3

Highly touted Buffalo Creek has been praised for its layout, condition, and overall attention to detail. No matter who you talk to in the DFW area, they all seem to praise the superb condition of the course from tee to green. Offering a 7,078-yard par 71 Jay Morrish/Tom Weiskopf design, Buffalo Creek offers a good combination of holes: straight holes, dogleggers, uphill and downhill shots, and both long and short holes.

One of the best features is the club’s method of using a pin location sheet to mark exactly where each pin is located on a particular day (up to six locations), which is unbelievably helpful to hacks who’ve never played the course before and have no feel for the look and contour of the greens.

Getting there : Take I-30 east from Dallas and exit Ridge Rd. Turn right and find the course 1.6 miles down on the left.

The course was great!

My only negative experience was the speed of the greens. They seemed to be cut very thin making shot difficult to hold. Fairways a little thin on some holes but to be expected due to winter.

Tree cutting really open up holes #8 #10 #16 and #18

Great pace good course conditions clearing trees on holes 8,10,16 and 18 make the course more playable.

Fantastic course layout

Due to some rain we couldn’t drive on the fairways but except for that everything was great. The course had a great layout and the staf was really friendly. Especially the starter/marshal was really friendly and helpful to keep the pace up. We were teamed up with another really friendly member who helped us with some great advice regarding the holes. Value for money was really great.

Has not aged well

I played the golf course 20+ years ago and it appears the carts are at least that old. No electronic range finders. Cart was making a weird noise. The steering was loose. The seat cushions were torn. The cart paths were not in good shape. No bag drop area marked. No one greeted us when we pulled up. The course was in good shape overall, considering it was the end of summer and there was not much rain. The greens would not hold a shot and were hard. They need to invest money in the course. It was much better 20 years ago.
