Buffalo Grove Golf Club is an 18-hole municipal course that offers an enjoyable round for players of all skill levels. The gently rolling terrain is covered with mature trees and wetlands, all of which provide challenges on the course. In addition to the natural hazards, there are a few strategically placed bunkers lurking throughout. Accuracy will be helpful when maneuvering the tree-lined fairways but it's not a terribly punishing golf course. There are a few tricky spots, but overall it's a forgiving and player-friendly layout. It's ideal for beginners and also good for a quick and casual round for any skill level. The golf course's affordability is another appealing aspect of the course. Buffalo Grove G.C. also offers a practice facility with a 25-station driving range and pitching and chipping greens.

Awesome challenging and well maintained

Great Course, drains well after a downpour the night before. Excellent grounds keeper and good value for the money. Some unique holes with different challenges. Back 9 plays like a brand new course compared to front 9. Well done, and amenities are good. Although I wish the Beer cart ran more often we only saw it once through the entire round.

Nice course

Nice course.. We walked 18 and really enjoyed it. Layout is pretty straightforward with wide fairways on most holes. Greens were in great shape. I would give the staff an extra star,, maybe two. Very friendly!!

Always an enjoyable experience

The Buffalo Grove course has a nice natural lay out that allows for a fun but challenging round of golf. The course is always well maintained. The rough is fair and the greens are in excellent shape. In addition, the staff are always personable and pleasant to deal with. This is a great course to have in the rotation!

Great greens

I've plaved Buffalo0 Grove golf course for more than 40 years. The greens were the best ever--they would rival the best private courses. Other than water in the bunkers (there were torrential rains the prior day and evening) the course was perfect. There is no course anywhere in the area that's a better value. Club house personnel are always helpful and courteous.

Needed to get out

Played on a Friday so..... Next day was a Junior Tournament. I would've thought the course should've been in better condition than it was. Greens ran pretty true, but some imperfections that I hoped they'll take care of before Tournament time. It's been a while since I played it, but this time it didn't impressed me.

Pleasant Experience Golfing

The course was very nice. Pace of play varied. Sometimes fast, sometimes it slowed down. Yardage markers could be a bit more clear.

Great value for a weekday afternoon.
