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.

Bad Greens

Beautifu weather, nice course in good conditon, but the greens were just aerated and impossible to putt on. In the future, staff shoul notify people of this when they call for reservations. I would not have played.

Great Fall Golf

Schaumburg has been a local favorite of mine for years. Course is a little beat up not only from the year but from the preceeding harsh winter. No worries though, I am sure they will have the place back to it's normal tip top shape by the Spring!

Best after round food of any course I've been to. Nice job!

great course but staff brutal

The 9 hole course was beautiful even this late in year. The only hick up we had was with the starter. We were 10 mins late from tee time and we received a good scolding from starter. This was our 1st time there and we got lost. I realize being late to anything is not respectful to others but life happens. I own a business and if my client shows up late and gave them the scolding we received I would go out of business. Overall the course was beautiful just DO NOT be late.

Little surprise

I always think of Schaumburg as a well maintained course. They ahve 3 x 9's to spread the crowds around. Greens were not as perfect as they usually are and the surprise was all 4 of our soil tubs to repair divots were empty. A small thing. Course layouts are good and a pleasure to play here.

Great couses

Three 9 hole courses are used to create different 18 hole set ups. Interesting layouts with some water, excellent sand, and large trees.

Somewhat disappointed

I was rather disappointed in the course this time around. I've played the course many times (not this year though) and it is normally in great condition. This time the fairways were very thin and the greens were burnt with large repair spots all over. I'm not sure if the past winter took a massive toll on this course and it never came back or what but it is normally in pristine condition? The layout is pretty good except for a few holes that come together and you better take cover if errant shots are had but some hacks..... The pace was somewhat slow but and no ranger to scurry the slowpokes along but maybe its because it's fall and a Thursday afternoon? I hate to say its a bad course because it's really not but the condition was not what I remember. They need to freshen up the fairways and get attention on the greens again. Chandlers is an awesome restaurant so you can't go wrong with lunch or dinner there but this is a golf review. :) lower your prices because doesn't warrant $56 a round anymore if that's how the course is going to be manicured. I know because I saw it that it can be better. I only recommend it if you can get a good Golfnow deal of $28 w/cart or less right now.

Nice layout but green need better attention

The green were in poor to good shape and made for some tough putting. Pace of play was very slow with ranger telling us we were 20 mins behind when waited on almost every hole for the group ahead of us that was at least 1 hole behind, but was never moved up or reprimanded that we could tell. Will not be back for quite awhile considering this was one of favs before

Decent Course, Fair Value

Nice facilities, friendly pro shop staff and starter. Quiet electric golf carts. Course condition a little soggy from recent rain. Fairways thin in some areas. Greens were fast with brown spots. Other courses recently played have better greens. Many greens slope towards the back, so often cannot see ball land. Overall, decent course, fair value and good pace of play.

Superintendent is A-1

The greens still had winter kill isues but the superintendent did a great job with them. The greens were firm, rolled good and were very receptive to shots.They rolled very true despite their appearance.

Awful Greens

Not sure why the greens were so bad. Nice layout but greens were in awful shape.
This course should have had a course alert to warn people of poor greens condition.

Greens

SGC typically has incredible greens. But yesterday they were the worst I've ever seen. They were all damaged and practically unputtable I've always loved playing there but the current green conditions were really bad.

don't play if it the weather is chancy

Played 11 holes and a down pour ensued, so they give me a coupon for 25% off my next round, to be used this yr. That gives me about 5-6 weeks. It should be 50% off, and it should be a calendar yr.

Nice this time of year

Haven't played here much, they don't have many deals for cart and 9 holes as they use too. Retired people don't like to walk in 80 degree weather dragging clubs with them. When the leaves are falling the rough here is really rough. It's a beautiful looking course to play though.
