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.

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.

Average Suburban Golf Course
This was my first round at this particular course and all things considered, it was just average. The course design was pretty straight forward but it added a few curve balls in there, lots of dog legs, and some decent water hazards. The pace of play was very slow. Additionally, the greens on the back nine were not in good condition and it made putting basically a guessing game. I did not mind the course, but I won't be in a hurry to play it again.
Course was in good condition except for a few sand traps that had water. Tee boxes that were under repair were completed. A few leaves on a few greens but nothing too serious. Pace was good. It took us just under four hours to complete our round.
Typical Muni
We finished in under 4 hours with waiting on only a few holes on the front, course cleared up on the back. Greens were smooth and ran well with a good amount of grain. Greens were soft. Tee boxes were flat. Rough had some dry spots. Fairways were getting ripped up for new grass.
Layout was uninspiring - flat course. The biggest challenge was having to carry bunkers that were positioned ~250 in the fairway, or being able to punch out from under a tree and get up and down for par. Shot one of my lowest rounds here.
Carts were bare bones - no coolers, no divot mix, no GPS. Tee times were every 9 minutes. There was a range which ran adjacent to 10 and 18 with no netting, but the course did a decent job of (1) using different colored balls for the range and (2) getting balls off the holes and back to the range.
Jason
The course was extremely slow. There was a 7 year old tournament going on and they were playing foursomes. As well, when asked how the pace was going the kid at the front desk said it was ok. It took almost 2 hours to play 4 holes. I had to leave.
Beautiful Course
This course is beautiful but challenging for every level of golfer. The fairways and greens were in great shape. Played a little slow on the front but zipped through the back nine. A very enjoyable day.
Nice Track
This is a nice municipal course. They do a great job on maintenance. Greens ran quick and true. Probably not worth the drive from where I live, but if I was closer would be in the regular rotation.
