Year-round golf at Schaumburg Golf Club

Play a round of golf on some of the world's finest courses without ever leaving Schaumburg, and regardless of the weather.

Schaumburg Park District's Schaumburg Golf Club, 401 N. Roselle Road, recently opened the new Golf Learning Center featuring three state-of-the-art aboutGolf simulator bays. Located in the club's lower level, simulators are available for rounds of golf, practice, lessons and club fittings. Food and beverage service is available from Chandler's Chophouse.

The simulators are powered by aboutGolf's three-dimensional, high-speed camera and tracking system. The system quickly analyzes ball and club data to replicate the shot in the simulator.

"With advances in technology, simulators are better than ever and allow as realistic an experience as possible while staying indoors," said Jon Parsons, operations manager at the club. "The simulator gives an accurate rendering of your shot, regardless of speed, loft or direction."

A cornerstone feature is the ability to play a round of golf on more than 40 world-class courses, including Pebble Beach and TPC Sawgrass. Intricate detail and accuracy makes for a realistic playing experience, with three-dimensional terrain, trees and foliage impacting the game. Each simulator accommodates up to four golfers at a time.

For those taking lessons, swing analysis tools such as multiple angle video recording and a weight measurement system are a great amenity.

"Recordings can be played back immediately in real time or slow motion," Parsons said. "This is a great way to give students immediate feedback on improving their swing."

For further swing refinement, simulators also may be used for practice. Each simulator has 18 driving range options.

The Golf Learning Center also will offer club fitting for Titleist and Callaway golf clubs. Fittings may be done on the simulators, or outside fittings will be offered through a Flightscope, a 3-D Doppler tracking system that allows golfers to track flight and distance.

Simulators are open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday. Cost is $35 per hour for up to four golfers per bay. Club fittings are $65 per club category. Reservations are recommended and can be made up to one week in advance.
