Buffalo Grove Golf Course

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.

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.

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!

Played on opening day and had a great time! All things considered the course was in fine shape. Would definitely go back this summer. Staff was super friendly!

The course is in good shape except for the greens. But we expected that. it's winter.

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.

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.

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.!

We played Buffalo Grove Golf Course in just under 4 hours. Fun and challenging course. Was in really good shape. Friendly staff. If you are local would suggest playing it. Thank You BGGC for a good day.

Got off on time. Front nine was slow due to group in front. Back nine fast paced.

Had a great time and the course was in excellent condition

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.

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.
