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.

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.

BG course

I’ve played this course about 4-5 times in last 5 years. The staff is very nice and witty and I was able to get in a walking foursome due to the starters quick thinking and ability to pair up people on the fly!

We were told prior that the Greenes were being sanded and. Groomed which made putting challenging.

The course played slow for the front nine due to a ladies league and my playing partners quit after 9. I played by myself on the back and found hole 10 and 14 the hardest. 10 you must be done middle, middle left otherwise you have no shot at par… on 14 I got confused which green to shoot at as they are side by side with another green … nor did I see the creek in front of me.

18 is equally challenging if you find yourself in the right side

Of the course… no shot! There is a tree that takes your entire green away from playing on.. sucks! Automatic bogey

Best golf course so far

I am a beginner and has been out to play on the golf course for about a few months, but Buffalo Grove golf course is my favorite. The condition is great, and layout is fun to play. Staff members are very kind. Definitely this is my go to gold course. But hard to schedule I'm the morning since it seems very popular place.
