Golf in Schaumburg

Schaumburg is a village in Cook County, one of the largest and busiest suburbs in Chicago's northwest reaches. Known for its major shopping, corporate campuses, and commercial development, the village grew rapidly through the late twentieth century from farmland into a regional center of business and retail. Despite its dense development, Schaumburg's park district has preserved notable stretches of green. The terrain here is the gently worked ground typical of the northwest suburbs. Golf is well represented, with park district facilities ranging from a full-length course to a shorter layout, set amid the surrounding development. For golfers, Schaumburg offers accessible recreational rounds within one of the metro's largest suburban centers, where the park district's courses provide welcome open ground in a community otherwise defined by its shopping, offices, and the steady bustle of the northwest metro.
