Buffalo Grove Golf Course
About
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.

This is a FUN course to play.
I've played this course multiple times and this was the first time that I've ever played it in 5 hrs. Usually there is a Marshall driving around, but the group in front of us was extremely slow and they were 2 holes behind the group in front of them. They were part of an outing, and it made for a day of constantly waiting to hit because of the group. For a public course BG does take pride in trying tot keep the course up. There is several areas that need repairing in the fairway due to the amount of rain that has caused some damage. It is challenging on some holes because the greens are small and some greens are deceptive with the slope especially with certain pin placements. Challenging holes are #'s 2,4,5,10,12, 16. The staff at BG is always friendly and courteous. One course that I always enjoy playing.
Excellent Greens
For the most part a very good course. The greens were perfect in my opinion. True breaks and no awkward humps through putts. Pace of play was a little bit concerning. Should move to 10 minute tee-times and it would resolve that issue. Otherwise great course would probably play again (maybe not for $65, but did enjoy it).
Biggest Bang for Your Buck
I golfed this course with a few buddies and needless to say I was overwhelmingly impressed. The condition this course was in was excellent. The fairways greener than ever, the greens (a bit fast) very well maintained. I'm happy to see a course like this in my area. Pace of play was dead on accurate with the ranger maintaining great time with each group. This is a fun track, so don't sleep on this one guys..
Good "Run-of-Mill" Muni.
Nothing too remarkable about this course. Layout is ok. Good mix of long and short par 4's. Great course for walkers. Very little elevation change and short walks between greens & tees. Greens were in good shape. It's not a "goat path" by any means but don't bother bringing your camera.
Great condition - greens were in perfect shape with no ball marks. Pace of play was great -
So slow
Pace of play was horrible.
3 hours to complete the front 9 is ridiculous.
Everyone on the course was slowed down by an idiotic 4 some, with no skills whatsoever and of course playing the back tee to enjoy their round to the max.
The ranger couldn't care less and let that circus continue all afternoon despite all other groups complaints! He just took a nap under a tree smoking his cigarettes.
Course conditions are poor right now, like most courses in the area that suffered from July floods.
Seems like Buffalo Grove is trying had to shutdown this place to claim the land and build some condos.
Not bad during the week
Breezed through nine holes on Monday. Solid public course in the Subarbs.
That one slow group...
unfortunately one very slow group ruined the day for those which followed. Golf course management did their best to move these folks along but they decided to six hour round was acceptable.
Very Good Course at Reasonable Price
I have played BG about fifty times over the years, but not in more than a decade. It was exactly as I remembered it - a solid layout in good condition. If you hit the ball well, you can score well. If not, there are plenty of problems waiting for you. I recommend it.
very accomidating
I was running late for my tee time. They asked me when I would make it there. They set me up with a tee time for an hour later. That was perfect. Thanks Buffalo Grove Golf Club.
Ken and Tori's service Excellent
Tori bent over backwards to accommodate us! She was wonderful! And Ken helped make out round more fun for my 16 year olds, and finding balls for us when we almost ran out! He made our day a success! Thank you!

Course Was tough today as length played in ground soft after recent rains and played tough. Greens a little bumpy early spring and after being aerified. Normal for this time of year. I Still made several one putts and a birdie. Will play here again several times this year.
Unusually warm weather for Chicago area in February. As expected the course was brown,and not all facilities or amenities (i.e. restaurant, ball washers, etc.) were available as in summer. In spite of this, the course was in reasonably good condition.
This Course has a nice Variety
This is one of my favorite courses that I make extra long drive to get to. It is always taken good care of and the greens are usually in very good shape. It has a nice mix of holes, not much water and is an fairly open course for errand shots. A couple of the par 5's can be a challenge especially with the small greens, placement is important. If you're a long ball hitter play the blue tees. On most holes a drive of 230-250 will give you a nice approach shot. The staff at the course is always friendly and helpful and do a good job in managing the pace of play.

nice course to play mid week when every one is at work
Sandbox
We were approaching the first green and it looked like the grass was dead. Upon reaching the green, we saw that it was covered in sand. When we booked the round, they never stated that there was work being done on the greens. Still charged full price, at $45, when this time of the year you can play almost anywhere for around $30. So putting was to say the least, troublesome at best. Around the 11th hole they had groomed the sand off but the broom roughed up all the grass so it was standing up and torn. Another putting nightmare. I would say that the course should have informed golfers that the greens were barely playable and offered a discounted round or at least a chance to cancel the reservation based on such information. Probably won't be going back.
GBGC is one of the worst, least maintained, overpriced golf course in the area. You can play Glenview GC, Sunset Valley GC, and so many more for $45. Don't waste you money on this course. I would never recommend this course to anyone.
