Hey, I'm shopping for a gift and want to get someone a few rounds of golf near their home.

What are some nice courses near Roselle, IL?

Depends on what you're looking to spend.

Schaumburg Golf Course is only one town away from Roselle and is my home course. It's real nice. It's not a top 100 course, but is always in great condition and the greens are fantastic...far better than other muni's in the area.

The top courses in the area are:

Pine Meadow

Cantigny

Prairie Landing (Links)

Highlands of Elgin

Bowes Creek

Chalet Hills

Blackstone (A little further west, but great course)

A little further south:

Cog Hill #2 & 4 (Dubs Dread the course they play the BMW Championship on)

Harbourside (2 Links style courses)

Ruffled Feathers (Pete Dye design)

The ones in red are all courses that I have played and would consider in the upper echelon of Chicago area public courses.  The ones in blue would still be very nice, but 2nd tier to the others.

Let me know if you have any other questions, I've played quite a few of the muni's in the area as well.

Wow,

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Which is the best between Schaumburg, Pine Medows, or Cantigny?

If your friend has never been to Cantigny, maybe he can make time afterwards to see the 1st Division Museum, as well as the flower gardens, and McCormack Mansion. In the museum, there's one section where you're viewing a wall display, and suddenly you're in Normandy.  It's amazing. Those attractions are on the other side of the property.

I played it once, but it's out of my budget. Also have played Schaumburg.  It's very well kept. Rangers were very proactive but friendly  and pace was no problem. Cantigny makes for a good gift.

    • Ahh the old classic "nobody agrees with me so I don't want to talk about it anymore"
    • @anaveragehacker, you’ve been ignorant this whole time and now you’re being disrespectful. Not a great combo. You asked what the rules were and we told you. You complained about them and we told you why they were the way they are. The “who is the committee?” Question has been answered a few times. Dave and I are Rules Officials and the other people replying know the rules far better than you, so the fact that we are all disagreeing with you should say something. this thread is going nowhere and your original question has been answered several times.
    • What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible. You guys are so serious it kind of proves my point. Other sports make adjustments for  field conditions etc during lower level play. This isn’t life and death here, it’s sport. No need to keep arguing. I have my opinion and you have yours.
    • Yeah, I agree that some of the charts are hard to make sense of. That short game chart is showing how often a short game shot ends up within a certain distance. The orange bar is all shots, the green bar is for shots within 25 yards, and the blue bar is for shots between 25 and 50 yards. I just play around with all of it and will figure it out. I would suggest just diving in and see what jumps out and work on that.
    • PGA Tour players weight shift to their lead foot way sooner and to a higher % than amateur. I would say it is something like close to 90% lead foot at impact for PGA Tour player. For Amateurs it could be under 50%. You need to get the weight transfer over more and sooner. You can't rely on the feeling of finishing on the lead foot as validation you did so.
