First and foremost your ranger Mike is one of the biggest a holes I’ve ever met in golf. He berated my wife and I and said we weren’t allowed to warm up even though we showed up 45 minutes before our tee time and just bought $15 range balls and had to tee off immediately. He told us if we refused we wouldn’t get a refund and had to leave the course?!?!? Second off this is the worst maintained course in manatee county. Pathetic. Moccasin wallow is cheaper better maintained and right around the corner.

Challenging course. Fairly priced. Manatee County residents should sign up for their promotion. The promotion gets you limitless range balls whenever you want and discounted green fees. The promotion costs around $500 per year or $50 per month. And gives you access to two courses. Plus you get to see the gators. Win win.

Played thursday the 5th. Paid $80.00. The greens are unplayable. Almost every green had bare spots that were overfilled with dirt of some sort. I dont mean a single spot on each green. It was in some cases 30% or more covered. Chip onto the green and the ball stopped dead. Had to move the ball around to clear a path to the cup. This is no way to play especially at $80.00. They should be ashamed of themselves to charge this much for an unplayable course.

Worst golf experience I’ve ever had. We saw online that it was $50, but when we showed up in person they charged $70, even though we had proof of the $50 price. The course was extremely overcrowded and poorly managed. We spent 3 hours waiting, and after 4.5 hours we were only on hole 14. We had a group of 5 and paid for two tee times (paid separately), but we decided to play a scramble on to move faster on hole 12 since we were waiting all day. Despite that, the ranger came over and screamed at us, then told us to go to the clubhouse for a refund. When we got to the pro shop, the employee told us he only says that to get people to leave, and that if we didn’t leave he would call the police to have us trespassed. He also didn’t care that it took almost 5 hours to reach hole 14 and continued to yell at us. Getting kicked out of a course completely sober for being annoyed of waiting 5 hours with no stops and not finishing is our problem not Buffalo Creek’s. On top of all that, the greens were in terrible condition and the golf carts looked 20+ years old. This course isn’t worth more than $40, especially with how rude and unprofessional the staff was.

The course was in good condition. The fairways were perfect, some of the best around, however the greens were in pretty bad shape with bare spots in just about every one of them. The drainage was pretty good, and they put the pins wherever there was grass.
