About

Holes 18
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.

Good day of golf

Tee time was at 6:40 am and we finished in exactly 4 hours even with some waiting on a few holes. This is my second time playing here this season and pace of play was good both times. Greens are a little slower than last year but still roll pretty decent. Would definitely come back to play again.

Nice little Gem

This course is perfect for you if you like true rolling greens, multiple shot shaping visuals on each hole from the tee and greens that are receptive and consistent. I'm a 7 hdcp back on my home course and this course pushed into the 80's for the first time around. A little challenging here and there and a couple green light greens from tee even from the blues. Played with 3 die hard Chicago sports fans and we shared some good comradery being from St. Louis. Altogether, the staff and locals were good people. The course was in immaculate condition. Well worth the $ for 1:20p.m. tee on a Tuesday. Next time I'm in Schaumburg. You can find me at this course looking to break that 80!

Wonderful Experience

Today was my first time golfing at Schaumburg Golf Club and I must say that I was pleased with my experience here. The greens are fast and well kept. The 24th hole on the Players Course was challenging but I enjoyed it.

So nice to play at good pace on s Saturday

Course is in good shape and it was sooo nice to play at a good pace on a Saturday. 4:10 or so, and even quicker than that until a lost ball in the group 2 in front of us on 16.

Played 2 days in a row

I played the 'Players' course for the first time here on the 7th of June and loved it. They have some very challenging holes, most dogleg to the right but also mix in some par 3's and a couple 5's. Loved the layout of the course, not too much water but just enough to make it challenging. They keep it in great condition and have some high tamed roughs. I loved it so much that i played today on the 8th and have my tee time again for the 9th. I play at 6am every morning so far and they have the greens in great condition already at that time. Even a friendly staff that early. Highly recommend.

Usual Schaumburg experience

Nice course. Wet from previous night rain storms. As usual, course rangers pestered us to speed up play even though the Cart Path Only rules slowed play considerably. Give the rangers something better to do.

Nice layout, very good shape

Baer / Tournament rotation - Nice mix of holes.

Some water, some sand - most approach shots do not require a carry of either sand or water.

One or two mini-golf pin placements - bad with reasonably quick greens. For the Chicago area, a pretty good value overall

Schaumburg Golf Club = SLOW GOLF

Only 18 of the 27 holes at Schaumburg were open, they were aerating the Tournament course, which is the best of the 3 nines. That should have been noted on the booking page.

The course is in great shape except the green were shaggy and very slow to putt. The pace of play was awful! There was 4 some of older women that held up everybody and to make matters worse, nobody from the course did anything to move them along. Anybody that's ever been behind a 4 some of older ladies knows what this does to the pace of play.
Also, the 4 some in front of us had 3 carts and one guy walking... UGH!
Check in was odd, there were 2 guys in the Pro Shop & neither seemed all that interested in helping or answering any questions. Neither bothered to offer a greeting (Facebook is too important?).
Both were staring at their cell phones when we came in. One of them, the gentlemen with tats all over his arm, seemed downright bothered by the fact that we booked through GolfNow.com.
The Golf service was very poor.
The clubhouse is very nice, the restaurant/bar is beautiful and the food is very good. Several TV's to view and good prices.

Hi blanigan66,

Thanks for taking the time to write a review about Schaumburg Golf Club. We are sorry that the tournament was under aerification. That rotation wasn’t open that day. We have recently aerified the whole course which is why you may have found the greens a little shaggy and a little slow to put. We are sorry you were behind a slow group, we understand how important pace of play is for all players. We actually took action to try to speed them up. We are sorry to hear about the lack of attention in the Proshop, we try to train our staff to be as professional as possible. We hope to see you back soon.

Regards,
SGC Staff

Great Day

Course is in fine condition. Unfortunately I got stuck behind a tournment and had to quit after 16 holes because there were just too many of them in front of me. I am from St. Louis, and this course is in great shape. I love the bent fairways and greens, and the tee boxes are in excellent shape for this time of year.

Hi hdcycle007,

Thanks for taking the time to write a review about Schaumburg Golf Club. We are sorry to hear you found the greens were not running true. In an effort to try to keep the course in the best shape as possible, we aerified the greens on September 21st and September 23rd. We expect the greens to improve. We hope to see you back before the season is over!
