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.

Thankful

The course was in beautiful condition. But most importantly, I left my phone in the cart and when I called the pro shop, they were empathetic and sent out the search party. They called me back as soon as they found it and I picked it up soon after. Good people.

Kicked out 7:30

Forget twilight here, cart constantly beeps at you for ~30 minutes before the course staff comes out and tells you to pick up your ball and bring carts in at 7:30 on the dot regardless of it not being dark out.

Great Park District Course

I played the Baer course (9 holes), and it was in great shape. The fairways rivaled those of much more expensive courses and the white-sand bunkers were immaculately maintained. The greens also were in good shape. This is much better than I would typically expect from a park district course. The main reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the course isn't well marked for yardage. My GPS app wasn't working, and I'm not familiar with this course, so I did a lot of guessing about distances. Some holes have small signs for 250 or 150 yards, others have them on the cart paths. Because I walked, I usually wasn't anywhere near the cart paths. They should put yardage stakes or discs at 250, 200, 150 and 100 yards that are easier to see.

Check in was fine. Staff told me that there are 4 players, one walking and three riding. There would be a chance two people per cart. I said ok. 10 minutes before tee time the staff came and took a cart from another player and teamed up with me. Found out after the second hole the person teamed up with me smoked too much and drank too much alcohol and was complaining the whole round of golf about the person walking and taking too much time. We four golfed 4 hours and 10 minutes which is written in the golf rule book. The staff should of had a ranger on the course monitoring instead of sending out the beverage cart girls interrupting our golf at the tee box. I'm rating this course poorly for the manager not training the staff on golf edicate.
