Rating 72.1

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.

Ok course

The fairways are not well manicured, the greens are also a bit longer than they should be, but the course is otherwise playable. The layout is ordinary with little slope and is curiously punctuated with huge fairway bunkers within driving distance, on multiple holes. Probably a good beginner’s course.

The staff is too rude for me...so many other courses that make you feel like they’re happy to see you & glad you’re there. Not this one at all—this is not the first time I’ve experienced rudeness here but it is definitely the last

Great place for a business outing

Great course with a friendly staff. Brought a large group that was well accommodated. Lexi and Lindsey were great servers! Food is also top notch! Finally, one of our party members lost a phone in a returned cart and the staff worked together via radio and swiftly located it. Strongly recommend for a party!

Another high quality public course

I’m amazed at the quality of the public courses in Chicago. I’m on vacation from Australia This course is just another example. Challenging for the low handicap player & not too difficult for the weekend golfer. I really enjoyed the layout. I’ll be back again for sure

Pretty course

The course did its best given the very wet conditions we have had. Weather was best in many weeks so it was crowded. Would like to come back on a "normal" day.
