Buffalo Grove Golf Club
About Buffalo Grove Golf Club
Buffalo Grove Golf Club is an 18-hole course with a layout that balances accessibility and challenge. Wide fairways, open green complexes and an unhurried pace suit newer players working on their game.
More experienced golfers still find plenty to think about: strategic bunkering, hazards placed to influence shot selection, and greens with subtle contouring that put a premium on accuracy and course management.
The practice area includes a 22-station driving range, a large putting green and a separate chipping area for short-game work.
