Getting there
Schaumburg Golf Club sits in the heart of Chicago's northwest suburbs, accessible within thirty minutes of either O'Hare International Airport (ORD) or Midway International Airport (MDW), making it one of the most conveniently reached championship venues in the Midwest. The drive from O'Hare carries you west through the steady pulse of suburban Chicago before the landscape settles into the manicured grounds of Schaumburg proper, where tree-lined streets and corporate parks give way to the club's serene entrance. For those arriving by private aircraft, Chicago Executive Airport (PWK) in nearby Wheeling offers a discreet alternative just minutes away. The final turn onto the club's drive signals an immediate transition from the surrounding commercial landscape to the quiet, immaculate grounds where two championship courses await - a seamless passage from the energy of metropolitan Chicago into the focused calm of world-class golf.
