Buffalo Grove Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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. 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.

Nice course, green in excellent condition and faieays also great. Course is tough but fair for all levels of golfers
You can find much better nearby
Played Memorial Day weekend and rough was thin and dry despite the rainfall we’ve been getting. There were sticks leaves and cotton from the trees littered everywhere making finding your ball a pain. You’d think they would clean it up for one of the bigger golf weekends of the year! The fairways are quite narrow with large fairway bunkers on every hole and the greens are the size of a residential driveway albiet in good condition (not very fast). While the slope rating makes it one of the easiest in the area, the course played long and felt as though it dragged. The back 9 was completely backed up with no rangers in sight. I was thoroughly disappointed considering down the street for marginally more gets you Chevy Chase, one of the nicest public courses in the north shore. Wont be returning and if you are paying more than $45 or live more than a $15 minute drive I’d stay away.
One of the top North suburban courses
Friendly help. Called me to inform me that I left my cap in cart! Challenging layout w/o trees being too tight. Greens are chopped up early in season. Excellent value. . To my knowledge, one of 3 best public courses in the northern suburbs .Everyone knows this so can be busy which slows down play.
Course was in good condition. Greens were a little fast but in very good shape. There were a few tee boxes that were being repaired/closed and there was no clear signs directing you to the temporary tee box. Overall the round was still enjoyable.
Buffalo grove golf course
Course was in good condition and the pace of play was excellent
Good value
Greens were medium speed but in good shape. Flat layout and a fair challenge for all handicappers. Pace of play was good at 4.25 hours.
Spring training
Golf course is in great condition for spring golf. Greens were rolling nicely and the fairways were in great shape. It’s spring golf so this course will only get better as the weather warms up. One tee box closed on 4 which is the long par 3 for seeding and repair. Overall they did a great job getting this course ready. The staff as always were great!!
Enjoyment
I play BG on a regular basis. I great aspect I find at this course in the fall is the diligence the staff takes to keep the course playable by continuously blowing the leaves off the fairway and mulching them once pushed into the rough. This helps speeding up play by reducing time “loosing” your ball because in rolled under some leaves,
GREAT JOB - much appreciated effort.
Very good for a muni course
Challenging course with fair share of water, sand, trees, and out of bounds to test all of your skills.
Have run a league there for over 30 years and have always been treated great by course staff and afterwards at the "19th hole"!
Would recommend playing to anyone regardless of skill level.
Home town course!
The course was in great shape for October and a rainy day! Have played here many times and it's a decent challenge for most.
Good practice areas. Big putting green. Solo chipping green as well. And grass driving range !!
Overall good course. Little price but how do you expect for places to stay alive in this economy. Great layout. And green maintenance was fairly good. Green are a tad bit slow I will say.
