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.

First Time Playing

Fore!!!

Some of the greens are positioned close to oncoming fairways. Please make sure guests call out “fore” on wayward shots. First time I’ve seen the course ranger tell guys that they needed to stop looking for their ball and play the drop, so that was very much welcomed and appreciated. Overall good course, and will play there again.

NO BATHROOMS

The only problem I had with this course was that there were no outdoor bathrooms!

The only bathroom was in the clubhouse.

This is the only course I have ever played without additional bathrooms.

I will not play this course again until they put additional bathrooms in. Even if is just a rented bathroom stall.

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.
