BUFFALO GROVE GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 Buffalo Grove, IL, USA
Designed by Dick Nugent, Ken Killian



Buffalo Grove Golf Course, a community cornerstone on the northern edge of its namesake village, emerged from the post-war boom, offering accessible golf to a burgeoning suburb. The relatively flat, parkland layout, reflective of its mid-century origins, presents a straightforward test where subtle mounding and mature trees define fairways. While no singular design visionary shaped the course, the emphasis has always been on playability.
Buffalo Grove is a haven for local leagues and casual players. The course prioritizes pace of play and its accessibility for all levels of golfers, and it has quietly become a hub for local competition. This is not a course known for demanding length or strategic complexity, but rather for fostering a relaxed and social atmosphere.
Beyond the course itself, Buffalo Grove boasts a strong tradition of welcoming newcomers and building a sense of community amongst its players.
