Buffalo Grove sits in the northern reaches of the Chicago suburbs, where Lake County's flat glacial terrain gives way to the occasional roll and the kind of mature tree canopy that defines so much of the region's best parkland golf. The Arboretum Club takes its name seriously — the property carries a density of established hardwoods that shapes both the visual character and the strategic demands of the round, framing fairways in a way that rewards accuracy over raw power.
As a private club in one of the more affluent stretches of the North Shore corridor, the Arboretum Club serves a membership that expects a well-conditioned, thoughtfully maintained layout. This part of Illinois has a serious golf culture — the Chicago area has produced more than its share of significant courses — and private clubs here tend to hold themselves to a high standard of presentation and service.
Illinois golf is a four-season proposition in theory but a shortened one in practice, making the long summer days here genuinely precious. A round at Arboretum rewards those who can work the ball through corridors of trees on a course where position, not distance, is the recurring theme.
