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.

Going to add this course to my rotation

Anytime you go to a new course and you’re under the age of 40 I think everyone knows it’s a 50/50 shot with the staff being cool and helpful, these guys were awesome. Clubhouse welcomed me for the first time and the starter was awesome, gave me a run through of the course. Will be back again

Early Round

It’s early in the season but the course has been in better shape than for this round. There were many areas on the fairways that were roped off and several fairways had lost of water. The bunkers were dry and hard. However the greens were in good condition. We played the round in about 4 hours and 15 minutes. Help is needed in the kitchen/ restaurant. There were hardly any food or drinks available in the middle of the afternoon.

good condition

Course was in good shape. Greens, tees and fairways. Traps were OK not great. Employees were cordial, carts were ok but no GPS. Signage kept you well away from greens, but not an issue if your not impaired. Getting to course from west was problem with road construction.

BG is a nice course with a good value

BG staff is always very friendly. The course is generally pretty crowded because it's a decent course at a good price. The holes are pretty close together at times so lots of hitting into others fairways but it works out fine.
