Buffalo Ridge Golf Course
About Buffalo Ridge Golf Course
Buffalo Ridge Golf Course is a nine-hole layout covering 69 acres north and east of Kearney, open to golfers of all ages and ability levels.
The tree-lined course mixes long par threes with demanding par fours and par fives that reward shaping the ball. Fifteen sand traps are placed around the property to test shot accuracy.
The course can be walked or ridden, with pull carts and golf carts available for rent. Restrooms, benches and a shelter are located on the course, and a driving range on site allows practice with both irons and woods.
