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.

Ranger Danger

Was playing with a 4 some. Ranger came up to us giving us grief because we were a hole and a half behind the group in front of us. THE TWO SOME in front of us. Our FOUR SOME WASNT KEEPING UP WITH A TWO SOME and he said he’s only going to ask “nicely once”. He then proceeded to ask me why me why we had 3 carts. I explained how we were all strangers, got there at different times, and got paired up to play together. He said “doesn’t matter. Unacceptable.” Told him our pace (3:45/4) was fine and if he had a problem with the carts he could take it up with the pro shop and the starter. The Irish/Scottish ranger fellow isn’t doing your course any favors. Won’t be back.

Well kept nice layout

Really nicely kept course with a layout that is challenging yet not too difficult. Plenty of water and sand and very open for those of us that have a tendency to spray!

I was playing with my son and grandson in the weekend and wanted to have a great time but the ranger must have been in a bad mood. He kept bothering us for almost two holes to hurry up and I could see that no one was in the front or behind us.
