I spent New Year's Day morning trying out this course on my way through Phoenix. It's an 18 or 27 basket course, depending on how eager you are to trudge through dust and gravel. We had a hard time finding the practice basket but it's directly to the right of the first tee pad (behind the playground/picnic area if you're looking from the parking lot). The course itself was set with the best of intentions, using the hill to challenge us in throwing upwards/downwards and maintenance buildings as obstacles. The desert shrubbery, while not too much trouble to throw over or around, was similar across the entire course. It didn't make for a super exciting round until we hiked halfway up the hill around basket 10. When I was there, every single basket was set out, some with cones/flags for visibility and others just camouflaged into the landscape. It made figuring out the course a little difficult and we ended up playing into other people's baskets on accident not realizing we were aiming for the wrong ones. While the pads and baskets are well maintained, the map at the park is a little worse for wear and difficult to follow. The tee pads each have their own maps too, pointing to the next basket which was helpful. Lots of walkers and dogs going through the course, but just keep yelling fore and have a little patience! I liked the big field to practice throwing distance drivers without losing them on the course. I didn't like the amount of trash and cans/bottles littered around the course. But we encountered friendly folks and clean bathrooms, and it's a perfectly average course in the area. read more

We went here for a disc golf adventure with scouts. Fellow golfers were polite and courteous and understanding of our young crew of 5 kids. The first handful were all on ground level but there was a small climb to get to probably anything beyond hole 6. It was great, though. Decent amount of glass on the path so be wise. Right near a baseball diamond and kids park and parking lot for about 25 cars. We had a good time. Not much shade, but would come again. read more

This is a really great park, lots of space, disc golf, kids playground, baseball/softball fields and even hiking trails. If you're looking for a quick spot for outdoor exercise or place for your kids to play outside, definitely a go to read more

Buffalo Ridge Park - Sunrise 10/27/2022 - Disc Golf Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Who knew when I joined Yelp!, that someday I would be writing about a disc golf course?! Well back then, I wasn't even aware of the sport. And now, this isn't my first disc golf course review. Buffalo Ridge Park is located on the north side of Phoenix and my oldest son has played it before. A couple months ago, he suggested we play this course because it's one of his favorites. He is an avid player and it's easy to see why this sport is so much fun. Everyone knows how to throw a frisbee. Now shrink that disc and add some golf strategy. This course is ideal for beginners as well as advanced players. It's easy to navigate but also presents some challenging holes. I'm not a novice but I'm also not as good as my son. He has a disc for every conceivable situation. The low desert scrub may not be as challenging as a course in say Flagstaff. There are no trees, but there are obstacles. We ventured out on one of the last nice late spring days and had a blast. The topography makes this course especially interesting. It's also fairly compact as you zig-zag back and forth, but you never feel like you're on a fairway being played by others. Also, it's the first course where I didn't lose a disc due to the vegetation. Check out the photos. Then go get your spin on! read more

I have a home for sale just a little north of Buffalo Ridge Park in Scarlett Canyon. Families with small children have considered purchasing my home and asked about playgrounds. So, I decided to go check it out for myself and was pleasantly surprised. I visited on a weekday, in September, at 4 PM and the temperature was about 102° These are my observations: 1. very clean playground areas with sand and rubberized surfaces 2. Both playground areas have large sun blocking canopies 3. Covered picnic table with single grill 4. Very well maintained ball field 5. Drinking fountains that we're functioning and had good tasting cool water. Yes, I even drink out of them 6. City of Phoenix maintenance personnel came to the property while I was visiting and emptied the trash containers 7. four basketball hoops, with intact back boards and the little chain netting thing that dangles from the hoop we're all intact 8. Initially the park was almost empty When I arrived to explore, but around 415 some high school kids walked over from the school across the street. Shortly after I observed three adults who in the large grassy area stretching their muscles, then another adult came with his dog and was playing in the field. 9. This park Is situated far enough from 16th street and Wescott Road to keep small kids safe from cars. 10. The house I have listed for sale is in a subdivision called Scarlett Canyon, about a half mile north of this park, and there is sidewalk access the entire walk or bike ride to and from Buffalo Ridge Park. read more

If playing frisbee golf in a canal that's been converted into a park isn't your thing, then feast your eyes on this beast! Hills, or are they mini mountains? You decide when throwing those frisbees to your heart's delight! Be forewarned, this is not a course for the beginner. There are many desert shrubbery, trees, and other unforeseen obstacles that await you around every turn. Make sure you bring extra bright frisbees, because you can spend countless minutes, sometimes up to 15 or 20 minutes searching for them! The scenery is great though. Around this time, there are many wildflowers that grow and it's not too hot this time of year in late January and early February. This appears to be a popular spot for frisbee golf enthusiasts because there were two groups not far in front of us and two groups after us during the midday Saturday before noon. With only 2 people, you can get through games fairly quickly, but with 4 people in our group we let some groups play through since only two of us actually had some skill while the other two didn't. I shall return though! This park offers a difference change of pace and scenery! read more

Nice park, came for disc golf and wasn't disappointed. Baskets were hard to navigate and will be easier the next time

Buffalo Ridge Park has lots of to offer by way of activities - everything from a baseball field to hiking trails. The activity that brought us here was the disk golf course; we had a whole lot of fun for several hours, hiking up and down the hill and completing the course. As an extra bonus, the views from on top of the hill are nothing short of spectacular, with views of Camelback and ranges to the South. read more

Buffalo Ridge is where it's at. If you're looking for a chill place to come, whether you're ditching your classes at north canyon or you're just a college loser looking to play ball late at night this park is a great place. There are hiking trails and ultimate frisbee thingies so it's really fun and there is a lot to do. If you come here at night some people look kinda sketchy but so are you, you're at a public park at night. Everyone is nice here. Except the police. read more

The reviews that are on here are for the frisbee golf course. I don't play, but i do enjoy watching them. I like the park because its so close to home. Our pup pup really likes to walk out there. Many bushes for him to potty on and believe me, he tries to hit them all. He has an amazing bladder, lol Many people also run and the ride their bikes on paths. This is a well respected park, meaning its pretty clean for a desert park, I don't know the golf part etiquette, but you can just tell, that it is taken care of with rock formations and whatnot. Please check out my pictures i posted. read more

As far as disc golf, it's a fun place to play in the desert. Many of the holes are blind, though there are flags/cones marking the baskets, which makes it challenging. Very rocky and hilly terrain, dotted with cacti. You won't lose a disc, but they'll get pretty dinged up. The tees are concrete. my only complaint is that each hole has multiple baskets instead of multiple tees, which is odd. As for the rest of the park, bathrooms are relatively clean. Really nice playground for the kids under sun shades. Shaded picnic area. Note: even though it's posted on the park rules not to do so, there were several dogs off leashes both times we've visited, so be cautious if you have small children or if you're walking your dog responsibly (i.e. on a leash). read more

Buffalo Ridge Park - nice shaded playground with separate play areas for older & younger kids - Disc Golf Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My car was broken into at this park, 9am on a week day. My window was smashed in and my purse was stolen. There were plenty of people here walking their dogs and playing disc golf. I even noticed a city worker when I pulled up. When I got back to my car less than 20 minutes later, everyone was gone except for a white car that had pulled up after me and had their car running the whole time. I've noticed this happen other times (a white car pulls up and leaves their car running sometimes for over an hour). I didn't think anything of it before. As soon as they noticed me walking back to my car they drove off. They sit in the parking lot with their car running and wait for people to leave their cars unattended. I just wanted to write this so other park attendees are aware. I did report this to the police as well. read more

Desert paradise in my own back yard! This park has a playground, frisbee golf, basketball court, soccer field, hiking trails, and a bathroom. We like riding our bikes west on wescott or taking the wide sidewalk with our dog. So many great lizards, bunnies, and rocks along the way. read more

This course is long! Beautiful desert scenery and fun throws both up and down the mountain.

This is a challenging disc golf course. Lots of desert shrubbery, rocks, and rough terrain. Several holes are equipped with flags so that you can see them peeking out from the brush. You are going for a decently difficult hike when you play this course, so dress accordingly. I enjoy courses with elevation change and this one certainly has that. The course is set up as an 18 holer but there is also a 27 holer available through my favorite scoring app (UDisc). The playground, fields, and facilities are all kept up nicely. I have also biked these trails on my mountain bike and they are nice and smooth and not as difficult to navigate as the disc golf course is. Really fun place! read more

Need some control over misuse of the handicap parking spaces. Some feel that it is not enforceable so no big deal who parks in these 2 spaces....fully marked! There is NOT a time frame on these spots. FOR HANDICAPPED ONLY!! read more

Let me just say, I don't care for the park very much. However, I have found some cool quartz pieces on the hillsides. Be careful around rocks, as there are rattlesnakes obviously! The disc golf is awesome and even beginners get the hang. The park itself is usually crowded during peak hours but it dies down when kids are in school. read more

Great little park, my 6yo and 10yo love playing on the playground and running around in the desert pretending to be coyotes or horses. Great disc golf and some short hiking/Mtn biking trails too read more

As a mother of two small children, we are always looking for new parks to explore. I particularly like those with the toddler play area. This one was quiet and clean. read more

Arizona's first 27 hole disc golf course. Full of challenging par 3 holes, if you can break even you know you've had a good game. Plays across the face of Buffalo Ridge and up and down it a few times so dynamic winds can affect discs differently every toss. BRING LOTS OF WATER. If you can't take the heat, stay off the ridge! read more
