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.

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.

So fun!

I don't know if it was the dry weather or the condition of the course, but my ball went flying and rolling farther than I've ever seen it do so. So, yes, I'm a happy camper. My only complaint is that the piece on the cart where the scorecard sits was broken and fell off. Thumbs up for the starter. Very pleasant!

Pretty great

I generally don't love "sardine can" courses where the holes are super tight/packed in. Schaumburg is one of these and this is my least favorite thing about it.

Aside from that, it was pretty great. The conditions/grounds are immaculate and the layout is pretty good and fun. The whole place is pretty fancy for a normal public joint and the course was fun. Would definitely recommend.

Course Starter

The starter tried to get us to share a cart. There were two people in our foursome walking and me and another guy each had our own cart. He told us they were short on carts. That is not my problem!! If SGC is short on carts then buy MORE CARTS!!!! The other guy was a Schaumburg resident and paid $5 more for his cart and that allowed us to each have our own cart! Very annoying to say the least!!!

A nice Monday afternoon at Schaumburg Golf Course

My wife and I played 9 holes on the Baer Course at a 3:35p tee time. The people in the golf shop were friendly, and there was a brief delay due to the lightning guard. We started play at about 4:00 with a third golfer who joined us. The course was in decent shape and is always fun to play. The greens were in good shape, although many have ball marks that haven’t been repaired. We stayed for dinner at Chandlers which has a solid menu and reasonable prices.
