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.

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.

Holy shnikes it was hot

Course in good shape, beer cart was persistent, great time as a fourth at 9:08am tee time starting on 10. Blue flags, so pins were in back, birdies and pars made.

I’m there every Friday for a reason, and don’t forget to hit Sal and Tony’s for 19th hole, live music, slot room.

See you next week

Needs some more love

Been playing here for years. Pretty much looks the same every year. Fairways need some more care and cart paths are never repaired/added or repaved. Golf carts need to be upgraded, no GPS on the carts. On the plus side, greens are kept in very good condition and there is a practice range. Hire more maintenance to keep the course in better playing condition. Don't believe I'm playing here again this year though.
