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.

Once good, could be again

No advance notice of aerated greens. Most of the greens had so much sand you could not see the grass through the sand. To their credit the pratice green was the same as the actual greens, but I use it because I didnt think the actual greens would be that bad! No chipping area as it is under repair. The course had several areas under repair and/or large areas that were dead or dying. Even at $43, with cart, I don’t think it was worth it. I have played this course for years, usually 2 or 3 times in a season, last time time played was late August last year. Normally it is in good to above average shape and a fun course to play. Hopefully they get the issues worked out, I wont return until they do.

***The Staff at/on the course was Great! Friendly, helpfully, fun attidute, no complaints

A heads up would have been appreciated

We play the course a few times a year. Last Tuesday was disappointing. Arrived for a 1240 tee time. Advised the front nine was closed for aeration and we had to play the back 9 twice. Weather was perfect but they had aerated the back 9 greens the day before and they were heavily sanded as well. We muddled through and it was fun but it was disappointing.

Poor Condition

I know it’s still early April, but the course is in very poor condition. Hit out of dirt from middle of the fairway on 1&2, very poorly patched green on 4. Paid for 18 but only played 9 as it didn’t feel like real golf. Might use the 9 hole rain check in a few months if conditions improve.

Excellent course, they’re already watering the greens and as the season moves to summer play will become more challenging.

Good course in bad condition.

The potential for this course is very high, but the condition is very poor. Hopefully they will get it in shape.

Up and down

Some holes in good condition others unplayable. Apparently they updated the irrigation system last year and let conditions degrade sharply. Got a discounted rate as one hole was closed another hole was being reseeded.The first cut was very thick and hard to play. Not going back this year.

Be prepared to hunt balls

Greens are in kind of rough shape, a lot of patched turf, 11 is closed for an irrigation project and be ready to hunt for anything that doesn’t land in the fairway. Heck, be ready to hunt for anything that rolls off the fairway, our group piped multiple drives that landed dead center and we couldn’t find them.

Get what you pay for

This course is under extreme repair. Many of the greens are patchy and patched with sod. Some holes are completely ruined and on the repair. Give this course a couple years and it should be great.
