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.

Decent but slow.

Course is in decent condition considering how much play it gets. Sunday afternoon round was pretty slow. We had to wait at every tee. Other than that it was a nice round.

Such a good value

I play this course frequently and the staff is always very nice and helpful. The practice range is average but adequate. The course is pretty easy but usually in good condition no matter the recent weather circumstances. It is usually a fun and quick round and always a good value for the $$.
