Well this is my first course review in quite a while!
Buffalo Trace is a very elegant, rolling open course.
Fairways are generous, and the greens are excellent also, very smooth.
The green on the 14th hole is very generous, makes the double greens at St Andrews look fun size in comparison!
There are 2 drivable par 4s, holes 8 and 12, with square greens reminiscent of classic Seth Raynor designs.
My one minor dislike was the drive is partially obstructed from the tee on the 13th, but I'm sure this can be avoided by moving your golfers position?
Overall, a very pleasant colourful layout.

I'm glad you liked the course and thanks for great review! I have to admit, I wrestled with that blocked tee shot at 13 but decided to leave it as is as I kind of like the forced draw - wasn't aware that you could move the golfer which would certainly solve the problem. Not sure how to do that though. In any event, thanks again for taking the time to play the course and write the review.
