Buffalo Grove Golf Course

Course was pretty good considering the resent rain. Got behind a mini outing of 3 groups and was on pace for a six hour round. Quit after 13holes and 4plus hours. On the way in found 16, 17, and18 holes with no on them. The marshal was not to be found.

The course has a very poor drainage system. It's extremely wet after significant rain prior to playing. When it's dry its a decent course with a lot of mature trees

Okay, it's only mid-September but the carnivious trees are shedding their leaves and ain't that a hazard all golfers face in the Fall season in the Midwest?? Greens in great shape (relatively speaking) and aside from errant shots....it's a fun course.

Meet Nice Gentleman as the starter, he was very friendly.

Marshall came out and asked us to return to club house because of a storm on its was at the 13 hold. Had to quit and just made it back before the storm hit. We got soaked returning the cart after unloading our clubs. Hope to play again some day, but don't know when since I live a couple hours away from this location.

The tee boxes were extremely hard. The fairway turf was more like the rough should be.

First the bad news....we were teed off behind four groups of octogenarians walking the front 9. It took three hours to make it to the turn. All my respect goes to those who endured the World War and fought for our freedom.

The good news....the course is in great shape. The greens are a bit slow ( not a bad thing) for those used to pool table greens. Smack the ball with a putter to get there or put on a skirt. Sorry ladies.

Fair test especially from the back tees. Found course in excellent condition discounting playing soft though from torential rains 36 hours before. Sand traps were still moist heavy.

I think the course conditions have improved since 1 year ago. The greens were great , in fact every detail of the course was what you would want to play in. Except for the trees getting in my way, I loved it. The only negative thing for me was there was not cart service on the course and a pretty hot day. Our t-time was 2:00p.m. at the heat of the day! We were able to get a bag of ice from the bar before we started which did help!

I played this for the first time. Course was in good condition. The track is nice with some challenging holes. The only comment I have is the majority of people playing walked while I reserved for riding. It would have been nice if I was told when I checked in I would be playing with three walkers then I would have walked myself. Otherwise I enjoyed the day and the course.

This was the third round we played and find the course conditions to be consistent. Good practice facilities, outstanding, friendly and helpful staff. The bar and food afterward was very good. Course plays 6400 yard from the white tees so you do need to keep the ball in front of you. Course is fair. Have yet to go longer than 4 hours for a round.

Typical park district course, the round was nothing special. The course was in decent enough shape with the typical muni issues; ball marks on greens, fairway divots, loud foursomes & occasionally getting hit into.
The bar area on the clubhouse is very nice, but the staff (bartender Sharron specifically) seemed disinterested in servicing.

All aspects of the course from the staff to the conditions of the course were excellent.

Buffalo grove golf course is a very good municipal course. Living closely I used to enjoy playing there.

My last experience was quite disappointing :(

The course was in a terrible condition, lot of ground under repair, lot of bad ground that should be repaired. The course obviously suffered during the winter and suffered a lot from this wet summer.

Pace of play was horrible, starter did a poor job managing tee times and grouping people for a better experience. Also, mixing walkers and riders contribute to make things worse.

I've played Buffalo Grove many times. But I've played it only when I can get a good deal on GolfNow. I do this because I don't think the course provides the value for the price of a normal week day or weekend greens fee.

But first, the good news. Buffalo Grove will challenge you with its many fairway and greenside bunkers. Many of the greens are small so your accuracy on approach shots must be spot-on. The greens were in good shape when I played and they are generally fairly fast. Most importantly they hold their line very well.

The sand in the bunkers isn't fine but it isn't coarse either. So if you're a good bunker player, you shouldn't have any trouble getting out of the sand.

Trees come into play on the course and so do creeks and high grass. However, even though most of the fairways are wide you'll have trouble if you spray the ball all over the place.

The staff at Buffalo Grove have always been very friendly and have always been more than willing to take the time to answer any questions I had.

My biggest complaint about Buffalo Grove has always been the length of grass on the fairways. Many times when I hit the ball in the fairway I couldn't see the ball until I got about twenty yards from it. This was ridiculous. Good fairway shots should be rewarded with good lies (absent divots and severe undulations). And sometimes I couldn't distinguish the fairway from the rough while standing over my ball.

I recommend that you try Buffalo Grove (at a reasonable price of course) and form your own opinion. Many times one's judgment about a golf course is like one's judgment about pizza (i.e., very subjective).

Fisrt tilme this year ,but course was managed well . Played well and had fun . Furing thr first 9 holes ,it rained so not so good to play . Overall i was satisfied.

Course is in ecellent shape, very nice fairways
We are regolar golfers of foursum.

We are retiered and its a good hobby to have it

it was amazing everything was perfect every hole was long and challenging I can't wait to go back I'm constantly thinking about playing there again.

The golf course just removed a bunch of trees that needed to go .if you haven’t played there in a while you should check it out again.

The pace could have been a little better as it seems they were packing them in often, but the course was challenging enough for playing at the beginning of golf season.

great place for once a week golfers then sit and have meal with groups after the round.
