Walking is allowed, the range has Toptracer, and the clubhouse is a prairie-style building in the manner of Frank Lloyd Wright. Schaumburg Park District residents get resident rates.
History
Schaumburg Golf Club — History
The course was built in 1928, and Golf Course Architecture and the ASGCA credit the original design to William Langford, with Theodore Moreau. The Schaumburg Park District bought it in 1989 and had Bob Lohmann renovate it. Lohmann Quitno then rebuilt greens, tees and bunkers in three phases from 2017 to 2019, re-establishing elements of Langford's layout. It has hosted U.S. Open qualifying and the CDGA Mid-Am.
Design
Schaumburg Golf Club — Design
The 2017-19 work set out to renew the infrastructure and bring back Langford's ideas. On the Tournament nine's 2nd, architect Todd Quitno lowered a hill to remove a largely blind drive, doubled the fairway width and added a central bunker, so the line off the tee sets the angle to a green beside a pond. He gave the par-3 3rd a Redan feel, with a kicker slope at the front right. The club describes undulating terrain and generous conditions.
What Sets It Apart
Why Play Schaumburg Golf Club
Three nines give Schaumburg more than one course to play, and its Tournament nine carries a par 3 with a Redan feel, rebuilt by Lohmann Quitno as part of a renovation that drew on Langford's 1928 design.
The Round
The Journey at Schaumburg Golf Club
I.
The Opening
This card starts on the Tournament nine with a 553-yard par 5 that is also the No. 1 handicap. The 401-yard 2nd now has a wide fairway split by a central bunker: from the right the green faces you but a pond must be carried, while from the left the approach slants toward the water. The 145-yard 3rd plays like a Redan, the 530-yard 4th is a second par 5, then come the 311-yard 5th and the 160-yard 6th.
II.
The Middle
On this card the longest and shortest par 4s sit side by side: the 415-yard 7th and the 307-yard 8th. The 410-yard 9th closes the Tournament nine at 3,232 yards and par 36. The Baer nine opens with the 384-yard 10th, then the 490-yard 11th, the shortest par 5, and the 411-yard 12th.
III.
The Finish
Two gentle holes, the 352-yard 13th and the 154-yard 14th (the easiest by handicap), give way to the hardest part of the Baer nine: the 413-yard 15th is the No. 4 handicap and the 528-yard 16th the No. 2. The 185-yard 17th is the longest par 3 on this card, and the 401-yard 18th finishes a 3,318-yard nine.
How to Play It
Schaumburg Golf Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
Forward tees bring the course down to about 6,100 yards from the Black tees' 6,550, where this pairing rates 71.0 with a 127 slope. The 1st, a 553-yard par 5, is the hardest hole, so start with a layup plan. On the 3rd, use the slope at the front right to feed the ball onto the green.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
Pick a side at the 2nd: the right of the central bunker gives a straight look at the green but brings the pond into play, while the left needs a precise approach that slants toward the water. The 307-yard 8th and the 490-yard 11th are the clearest birdie chances on this pairing.
Advanced / Low Handicap
The 490-yard 11th and the 528-yard 16th are the par 5s to attack in two, though the 16th is the No. 2 handicap. On the 3rd, the containment mounds behind the green can bring a bold shot back toward a tucked back-left pin, and the 15th and 16th are the pair that decide the Baer nine.
