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

SGC is always beautifully maintained. They offer 27 holes, so you can play their weekly and still find new challenges or experiences. The staff is always very friendly; probably my favorite staff in the NW burbs. Perfect amount of water elements to challenge you, but not donate a box of balls. All in all, great course.

Consistency

Schaumburg Golf Club is always a great place to play. The course is very well kept, having 27 holes keeps things fresh, and the staff is always very friendly. Our go-to spot in the NW Burbs.

Love playing here

Staff and grounds crew do a fabulous job keeping this course in a great shape. Pace of play was a little slow but multiple times the ranger came by trying to keep everyone moving along. It was expected for a Saturday. Will be back soon.

Aeration, Beware! Otherwise great track

Played 9 on the Tournament Course. Starter said they aerated 3 weeks ago but it’s still really rough… especially 7-9 were so bad it’s almost impossible to make a putt outside 4 feet

Otherwise course is sweet and I’ll definitely be back next year

Great layout. Fair yet challenging. 4 stars -

One of the better public course options in Chicagoland. The layout is great and fairways and tees are in good shape. 4 stars because greens are beat up, the range is Mat only, and it’s on the higher price range for public golf (~$100)

One of the 9s were recently aerated so the other courses are seeing heavier traffic.

Course condition and amenities

The course was in great shape. Little to no rain in past several weeks but it was not noticeable. Carts, bathrooms and clubhouse are all in great condition. The 2nd par 5 on tournament is probably my favorite hole.

This course should’ve remained private

I tried getting my dad and his buddies to play here and because I work at the Park district I thought my discount would work for everyone and unfortunately it did not so they had the pay the whole fee which ended up being pretty expensive. At first glance the course looks great, it’s easy to get too and the parking lot is plenty big. The staff is pretty helpful getting you to where you need to play because there is 3, 9-hole courses and actually we had a problem with a walker getting confused on what hole he was on… the golf carts are definitely worth adding to the fee however for the price I thought the greens were pretty beat up, there were divots and little pieces of rubble and sand all over the place. I thought the bunkers were very nice and the fairways looked clean however the tee boxes as well were in bad shape. Overall this is somewhere I can come after work and play because they have all the amenities as far as the range and practice putting green but as far as bringing groups here I would stay away definitely over priced.

What a great course

I haven't played Schaumburg for years and it was great coming back. Since I last played here, the course has been totally upgraded. It is tough but beautiful with open fairways and firm and fast greens. I actually had my only hole-in-one here in 1999!! I highly recommend giving it a try, especially if you can get a Golf Now deal like we did ($44 plus cart). I'm looking forward to playing here regularly in the future.

Enjoyed a fun morning

Excellent and well kept course provided a very enjoyable experience. Well kept and managed by great staff. Our foursome had a wonderful time on a challenging course which is playable for all levels and would highly recommend it for a fun day or group outing. I had my best round of the year!
