Description

Laid out along Buffalo Creek, this 9-hole course mixes open tee shots with a few tighter drives. It's a quick-playing par-35 that favors placement over length. Greens are medium-sized with straightforward surrounds, so up-and-downs are gettable. Locals praise the friendly staff and easygoing atmosphere. Budget-friendly rates make it a convenient stop east of Independence.

I played this course on 9/22/25, and was completely blown away by , not only the course, but also the staff. When I walked into the Pro Shop, I was greeted warmly by several staff members. I was made to feel as though I was a regular customer of theirs. The course was superb! The was plenty of well-manicured grass, and the fairway bunkers were well maintained. Despite the greens having been recently top-dressed, they were very playable and rolled smoothly. My only regret is that my game wasn't "up to par," but that can be fixed. My first impression will never change though, and I promise to return again for another opportunity to enjoy this outstanding course. One the finest in the Dallas Metroplex!!

Course was in great shape. Staff was very friendly! They make a great breakfast burrito! Also, they have a free coffee bar which is a nice touch. Plenty of space at the driving range. They have an indoor space for eating or group outings. They do have some tough holes- so bring your A game!

I went out as part of a foursome on a Thursday morning. It had been over a decade since I last visited Buffalo Creek. The course was in good shape tee to green. The price was reasonable and the customer service from clubhouse, starter and on course beverage attendant was excellent! The pace of play was good as well. Our foursome completed our round in no more tuan 4 hours. Overall everyone in the group had a good time and look forward to returning. If I had to find something negative it might be several areas of the cart paths were in need of TLC due to broken pavement however this didn't impact our enjoyment.

Why five stars? If you have been paying attention to the transformation of this golf course it would be easy to understand. From late June to late August and into September their staff has worked tirelessly to improve the greens. With outstanding results. All while maintaining and improving a world class public golf course.

Really enjoyed this course , they keep the bunkers in really good shape & the course is also in good shape especially for this time of year , the greens roll pure & the course is quite challenging , be ready to hit out of a bunker cuz you’ll end up in one . I rate the course a 9/10
