About Buffalo Creek Golf Course

Buffalo Creek Golf Course in Palmetto is a well-regarded public layout in Manatee County, sitting between the dynamic golf markets of Sarasota to the south and Tampa Bay to the north. The course winds through a natural Florida landscape with wetland corridors, open prairie views, and mature cypress and oak tree lines that give it a genuine natural character. Buffalo Creek is known locally for its excellent conditioning and playable design that suits a wide range of skill levels — challenging enough for low handicappers to enjoy but fair enough for higher-handicap players to score reasonably. Palmetto's location near the Skyway Bridge corridor puts it within easy reach of St. Petersburg, Bradenton, and Sarasota golfers. The Manatee County area is growing rapidly, and Buffalo Creek's strong local reputation keeps it consistently busy during peak season.
