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.

Always a fun course to play and was in decent shape . Only downside was we were a 3 some and the 4 some in front of us was painfully slow and never asked us if we wanted to play through as we waited minutes on Every shot ! Wish there was a ranger on course that would have come by but besides that a great experience.

Walking only

Course was a muddy mess. Standing water everywhere after a rain the night before. The course lacks adequate drainage.Too bad. This could be a decent course. The greens were in decent shape but the rest of the course was almost unplayable. After playing in these conditions, looking back, I was surprised they let people on the course.

Straightforward simple course

Course is in very good shape. Better than many that cost much more. No real complaints. It’s a straight-forward well
maintained muni that’s not particularly difficult other than having decent length from the back tees. Fun place to play for most levels.

Pace was good. Rough was deep, Some fairways near the creek bore marks of flooding from the rain we had the previous week.
