About

Type Public
Par 71
Length 6391 yards
Slope 127
Rating 70.3

The 27-hole course at Schaumburg Golf Club is divided into three nines that are played in different 18-hole combinations that range from just over 6,000 yards to 6,700 yards. The Tournament, Baer, and Players Courses all provide a unique set of challenges but they share the same great conditions on their tees, greens, and fairways. Schaumburg has been host to numerous events since opening in 1928, including the U.S. Open Qualifying and Illinois Open Qualifying tournaments. It is a popular course since the club offers country club amenities and quality with the affordability of a public golf course. Schaumburg's Players/Baer combination starts out with a few tricky carries over water on the front nine and a more forgiving back nine. There are strategically placed bunkers throughout the course, however.

Consistently good

Great condition, always on pace thanks to rangers that are actively working. Price is a bit steep for 9 holes, but love the 27 hole variety.

This court is a great course for the price

This course is a great course for the price it has a great layout. It isn’t to small that you can’t use your driver, and it’s well planned out. The staff could be a bit nicer because if you are even 2 minutes late to the tee box, they will yell at you to speed up. Overall it’s nice but it’s staff could calm down a bit.

Potato Chip Greens

Not only are the greens fast, several greens feel like you are putting on a wavy potato chip.

Otherwise, the course was in excellent shape from the tee to green.

Difficult

Course was in very good shape and thus I recommend playing there. However, if you are over a 10 or so handicap, you will likely find this course too tough. For some reason, the pin placements and the green speeds are such that they think they are hosting a pro tournament there. Very frustrating round for me.

Best in area

This course is consistently the most well conditioned public course in northwest suburbs. It's a beautiful layout that's challenging but playable for most players. If you have friends in from out of town and want to take them to a great course that's reasonably priced, this is where you take them

One of my favorites

Generally love this course but foursome in front of us was slow and we waited quite a while on each hole. Extra cost to ride as a single does not seem necessary --- already paying a hefty fee to ride.

Mismanagement

On 7/3/2025 booked a tee time for nine holes with a cart, when I arrived to the course I was informed that i would be sharing a cart with another golfer. I was a little surprised that I needed to share a cart due to an event that was going on. I feel this should have been communicated before hand and the golf course needed to adjust their timing accordingly for this event.

Schaumburg GC still good after all these years

Played 9 on the Tournament course and the course didn’t disappoint. The course was in excellent condition duration, staff was super friendly, and the cart person came around twice during the round.
