Schaumburg Golf Club ranked among the top 50 of U.S. golf courses

There are a lot of golf courses in these United States, and Schaumburg-area golfers should be proud to have access to one of the very best.

Schaumburg Golf Club, 401 N. Roselle Road, has been ranked the 47th best golf course in the country by GolfPass, based on more than 315,000 user-submitted reviews.

How about some perspective on that?

Last summer, golfspan.com ballparked the number of courses in the U.S. at about 15,500. And it estimated that those represent about 43% of the golf courses worldwide.

Owned and operated by the Schaumburg Park District, Schaumburg Golf Club is a recently renovated 27-hole championship designed course.
