Buffalo Creek Golf Course Public 18 Tee Times

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.

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.

50° at noon? Is this really Florida? Greens are fast, but in pretty bad shape. Many large bare sections on almost every one. They put some green sand stuff on the bare spots so the brown won't show. I like the layout. Plenty of stands of hurricane damaged dead trees scattered around the course. Minimal food options, but that's typical. Not a country club. Was surprised that the course was pretty full on such a cold day, but it was MLK day.

Enjoyed the course very much. Play moved along nicely and staff was friendly. Course was in pretty good shape. Fairways were nice and staff was friendly. We saw lots of native birds and alligators. Disappointed that we didn’t see Chubbs!!
