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 value for the GolfNow rate

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.

Average course with good value specials. They need to stay on top of slow play here to ensure repeat play. Back nine is well laid out and greens ran true, despite aeration. Course is otherwise well run.

decent course

I've played this course numerous times over the years, but this year was different. They've taken down 186 trees on the front because of the ash borer!

It's a shame, but it has made the course a little easier!

Course was in good condition overall.

Didn't like that there was no drinking water or ball washers on the course. The greens were quite slow likely due to the amount of sand on the greens and the aeration that appear to have been recently done.
Otherwise it was a good weather day and an enjoyable round.

A decent, not too demanding course.

Overall course was in good condition, greens unfortunately aerified, but that's to be expected at this time. Like the layout and different holes, with sufficient bunkering and water hazards. Plus, the price was exceptional. Pace of play was very good, and staff was super friendly. I would recommend this course.

Challlenging course which requires accurate driving and strong iron play.

Course was in much better condition in the fall after so much rain. back nine plays tougher because of more water and sand traps. Par 5's are long and tight.

Pace of play was a little slow, and is probably worse on weekends. Fun course to play and we were not pushed.!

Buffalo Grove GC - Good Municipal Course

Buffalo Grove is a reasonably priced, reasonably maintained, par 72 municipal course that you can play in under 4.5 hrs. Their carts do not have GPS and there are no yardages on the sprinkler heads -- only 100/150/200 yard posts. Greens are average speed, smooth, and in good condition.

Good Muni

As long as you know that this muni sees a lot of play, you won't be expecting too much. For as much play as this course sees, its in pretty good shape. Fairways are good. Greens are good. This course lets you use every shot in your bag. Plenty of longer holes were you can take out the 1-wood (does anyone still call them that?). IMO back nine is tougher than the front.

Over crowded

The golf course was in pretty good condition. The play of the golf course though was what killed the experience. The course was packed, tee times were right on top of each other and the pace of play was terribly slow.

Great Course, Great Value

Went there on a Sat around 10am ... the pace was great for a Sat., the course was in great shape, the greens were a bit slow but it had rained heavily the night before so that's understandable.
Would Highly recommend this course. Also the range has grass on the tee boxes which was great to hit from before starting the round. Would go back in a heart beat!!
