Buffalo Hill Golf Club

Course Update • August 31st

Course Closure – September 5, 6, & 7

For the 89th Annual Labor Day Tournament. We appreciate your understanding as we welcome players from all over for one of Buffalo Hill’s longest-running traditions.

Our New Mowers

In case you’ve missed the social media post, Buffalo Hill has deployed the largest fleet of Kress autonomous mowers. On the Championshop, they will be mowing rough and green surrounds. There are some areas we are already finding with the severity of our slopes that they don’t do as well as we had hoped for, but we aren’t surprised by this either. It will take some adjusting of maps to get these dialed in, and as they mow, they will learn what some better routes are.

With the help of these mowers, our full staff can take on other important projects and help to make Buffalo Hill better than ever.

We would like these mowers to adopt some names. They could even be themed! Mike’s hope is that he’ll receive lots of emails for name suggestions. One that we’d like to use is “Punk” in honor of a great co-worker from the 80’s!

From our Board of Directors

Some changes happened at last week’s monthly KGA Board meeting, so let’s dive in! Josh Buls was elected to fill the President position of the KGA, and would like to extend a thank you to everyone on the Board for their vote of confidence in him. Because Josh Buls was previously our Vice President, Board member Amanda Guy was voted to fill the VP position, and we are excited about the phenomenal work she will do. Finally, Drew Flink was selected to fill the vacant position, where he will serve out the rest of this year’s term until the Annual Meeting in 2027.
