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. 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.

Thank you Rangers
Overall I really like this course and have played it a lot. One negative for me has always been slower play with rangers not really moving things. This day was different. A foursome who thought it would be a smart idea to give lessons every swing eventually has almost a 2 hole gap in front of them even after being talked to. Rangers then moved groups in front of them. Pace was fine after that. Really nice to see
Ranger can cool it.
Course was in decent shape. Price is ok for what it is. Here’s the problem. Problem is I played with a 4 some and A 2 some was in front of us. Big deal. Group behind us was usually on the green as the same time we were on the green. No back up. Next thing I know the ranger is busting our chops telling us to speed it up. (3:45-4 hour pace with 4 people) telling us there’s a hole and a half gap. THERES A TWO SOME IN FRONT OF OUR FOUR SOME. I sure hope they’re ahead of us. THEN he starts giving us grief asking why we had 3 carts. None of us knew each other! We got there at different times. But no, he wasn’t having it. Told us he didn’t care and it was ridiculous we had 3 carts. I told him I’d never heard of someone being so unaware of what was going on on their own course being a ranger. Old gentlemen with the Irish/Scottish accent can take a hike. Not helping your course. Won’t be back.
Good Course
Course was in great shape. Pace was very good..Greens were in good condition and fast. We enjoyed the round very much. Too bad the restaurant did not open until late afternoon on Mondays. Our round was at 10:30am.
A quick 9 holes
I just recently played 9 holes at BG golf course. The course was in fairly good shape despite the lack of rain. Since I played only 9, I opted to walk. It was very manageable. One thing I would recommend for the future. The golf course should invest in electric golf carts that include GPS. It would make things easier to navigate along with having exact yardage to the green.
Other than that, being a BG resident playing this course provides a good value.
Keep coming back
Great value here. Course is well maintained and challenging with several small greens. Tee boxes, greens and bunkers all well maintained. Rough is, as it should be penal, but not overly so.
Staff is friendly and caring of the customers. Sal & Tony's is great place for post round drinks and food.
Good shape despite drought
Dry if you get off the fairways (which I do often) but to be expected due to no rain for weeks! Otherwise in great shape!
Not a good place to golf the staff that work there where not kind
The staff was not good and the starter was a jerk and later in the round he told me to not come back . And the other ranger said to me if you don’t like it get where money back.
Pleasantly Pleased
Very nice course layout in excellent condition. Well kept and good value.
Decent golf, but Mens Room total disaster
The mens bathroom was flooded and unusable. In my view the course should have been closed, but at the very least the restaurant should have been closed. Health code issues galore. I only played 9 holes as a result.
Nice Day on the course
As things are very dry around the area, this course is also very dry. Could use some TLC here and there to freshen it up.
