Golf in Buffalo Grove

Buffalo Grove is a Lake County suburb that grew from essentially nothing in 1960 to a community of over 40,000 by the 1990s, one of the most rapid growth stories in northeastern Illinois. The Route 83 corridor formed the spine of the community's development, with residential subdivisions filling the open farmland on either side. Buffalo Grove Golf Club and The Arboretum Club together serve a population that has matured from young families into an established suburban community with the recreational expectations that come with decades of stability. The surrounding community's investment in recreational infrastructure reflects the Illinois tradition of municipal and private facilities working together to sustain accessible, quality golf for residents across the income spectrum.
