Buffalo Ridge was hands down the best course of our entire trip and deserves to be ranked at the very top. From the moment we stepped onto the property, the scenery blew us away—rolling Ozark hills, natural rock outcroppings, and the surreal experience of seeing buffalo roaming near the fairways made it unlike anything else we played. The layout was challenging yet fair, with each hole offering something unique and memorable, keeping all 16 of us locked in the whole round. On top of that, the staff went above and beyond to make sure our large group was comfortable and well taken care of, which made the day run perfectly. Out of all the amazing courses we visited, Buffalo Ridge was easily the highlight and should be recognized as the crown jewel of the trip. I cannot comprehend how someone can play this course and not fall in love with every hole.

Buffalo Ridge is the best track at big Cedar. Prove me wrong. After playing pains valley and Ozarks I was pleased to play Buffalo Ridge. It’s challenging but getable. If I had this trip to Do over I would’ve played here twice.

Beautiful course. The elevation changes and blind shots make for a challenging round. Definitely on my replay list.

As an avid golfer, Buffalo Ridge was probably my favorite course to play of the three 18 hole courses available at Big Cedar. It didnt have the views of Ozark and certainly not Payne's, but it did have some holes with beautiful views. The water features are Amazing and it has an old school western town type of feel. The water features are very much in play on many holes. The bison that you can see from various holes are a very neat addition to the atmosphere. The facilities are excellent, as to be expected based on the others we visited. The practice range is amazing as well.
The course itself is immaculate. Fairways, greens, and tee boxes were all excellent and the landscaping is also immaculate. It amazed me that when we played all three courses we did not see one weed, piece of crab grass, burnt spot, or damaged area. Bunkers were on par with the other courses and filled with nice sand that you could actually play out of. THE GREENS were by far the fastest of the three 18 hole courses. If you didn't land the ball in the right place on the green you could pay a price. For the most part they did hold pretty well and the ball always rolled true on puts. It wasn't a situation where you would land on the front of the green and it would bounce and roll off. Accuracy was a premium playing here which dedicated golfers really appreciate. We loved it. If you're playing it for the first time I would highly recommend taking a caddy. It will help with target lines on some blind holes and definitely with the approaches.
The staff were Amazing as were all courses and really seem to enjoy their jobs. What an epic experience and we cant wait to go back!
