Schaumburg Golf Club - Tournament/Baer Course
Played On 10/09/2017My favorite course in Chicago northwest suburbs
Chicago has many nice suburban golf courses. My favorite in the Northwest suburbs is Schaumburg Golf Club. Course conditions are always excellent. Of their three nine hole courses, the Tournament/Baer combination has been my favorite but that could change as they are currently in the process of renovating their nine hole courses. The Players course renovation is near completion with Baer course renovation coming up next. The staff is always helpful and friendly. The clubhouse has excellent bar, restaurant and banquet facilities. I always enjoy playing at Schaumburg Golf Club.
Old Orchard Country Club
Played On 10/03/2015Eight-somes!!!
I booked my tee-time as a single. I was supposed to be matched up with a threesome in twenty minutes. But a six-some came to the tee and suggested that I tee off in front of them because they were very bad golfers. So I teed off and played four holes before another single played through the six-some and joined me. But it turned out that we were stymied because there were multiple eight-somes out on the course. It must have been some sort of eight-some tournament. My round was miserable. My partner and I skipped holes as best we could to bypass the multiple logjams. Bottom line: I'd like to see some new policy implemented that warns golfers of tournaments that impacts speed of play. I've never encountered eight-somes other than at Old Orchard. It will be a long time before I consider playing Old Orchard again.
