Three rotating nine-hole layouts keep the challenge fresh, with immaculate fairways, speedy greens, and well-sanded bunkers that consistently impress experienced golfers. Friendly staff and strong value for money make this the top local choice in the Schaumburg area.

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.

Pleasantly Surprised

The course was in outstanding condition. This was the first time playing the course and it will not be the last. The staff was very nice and the pace of play was good but we did play in during the weekday AM. Overall, for a park district course this place was in excellent condition.

Best PUBLIC COURSE IN YEARS

We played on a 75 degree day, all sun took 4 hours 10 minutes teeing off before noon. Never were pushed in front of from behind as groups were 9 minutes apart.

If player would have fixed their ball marks on the greens it would have been a 10, maybe too much to expect on a public course

Not the same

This used to be my home course. The place where I cut my teeth years ago. I have very fond memories of this course. Impeccable conditions, awesome pace of play, great staff and rangers.

I went back to play there after a few years and found that while the conditions are still the same, pace of play management has gone to the dogs. The round lasted 5:10 minutes. This would have been unheard of years ago. There was a ranger riding around but didn't seem like he was doing anything to speed up play. Just taking some notes on his clipboard. The group ahead of us was horrendous. One of the guys was hitting 3-4 shots off every tee in Happy Gilmore style. I would have quit if not for the fact that I had a career round going. We finished as it was getting dark and the group ahead of us was doing nothing to speed up play even as a courtesy to the groups behind them. Unfortunately I have to rate this course poorly because of the management's complete lack of attention to pace of play which was one of the hallmarks of this course. I don't know if I will go back to this place. I still want to preserve my great memories from the past.

Outstanding first impression

I was blown away by this course. Everything seemed to be in tip top shape. The pro shop was well stocked and had friendly staff.

The Tournament Course(only holes I played) were in wonderful shape. Everything was very clearly marked and alleviated any confusion about where to go next while playing(greatly helps for a first time visiter). Pace of play was no issue. Groundscrew was out and about maintaining the beautiful course, but never once got in the way(that I could tell) of play despite having multiple groups scattered along all 3 sets of courses.

All in all it was a very enjoyable round of golf and I will be back.

A+ job all around for Schaumburg Golf Club. Thank you for the beautiful course.

Group in front of us was very slow probably because they were taking pictures of their set up and swings on the course. Nobody in front of them for 3+ holes. Called pro shop and they sent a ranger out.

Lovethis course

I used to be a Ranger at this course about 20 yrs. ago. It was very nostalgic coming back to play here. It is in very good shape. Actually best shape I have seen it. Thank you grounds keepers. and Golf Now for the Hot Deal that let us play at a very reasonable rate.

Wonderful Course

I'd never played this course before and I was beyond pleasantly surprised. The people at the course were incredibly nice and the course was in great condition.

We played Tournament/Baer, white tees. The course is well laid out with a good mix of challenging risk/reward holes. The greens were in good condition and the fairways were gorgeous. This was a Thursday afternoon, so I know you can't count on this, but it felt like we had the course all to ourselves. Even with a twenty-minute rain delay in a downburst, we finished in less than 3 1/2 hours.

I can't recommend this course highly enough.

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!

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.
