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.

Fall is the perfect time to explore the beauty of Spring Valley. Opening in late 2016 is Bison’s Bluff, a one-acre natural playground featuring boulders, logs and much more. The park will engage children in active and passive play in a fun, natural setting.

Stay warm and roast marshmallows Sept. 17 during Volkening Heritage Farm’s Harvest Bonfire. The evening will be filled with wagon rides, fire-roasted snacks and a lantern-lit tour of the farm.

Providing Recreation Services to Individuals with Special Needs The Schaumburg Park District is proud to be a member of the Northwest Special Recreation Association (NWSRA). Throughout the northwest suburbs, NWSRA is the leader in providing outstanding recreational opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. NWSRA’s team of full-time therapeutic recreation professionals and trained part-time staff offer a multitude of year-round program offerings including sports, camping, social programs and more. Having fun, being included, making friends, learning new things and going new places are just a few of the benefits of NWSRA programs!

Inclusion assistance is provided by NWSRA to those individuals who wish to participate in their home park district program. When registering, the parent of an individual with a disability should inform the Park District (and NWSRA, if desired) of any accommodation needed in order for the individual to successfully participate in the program.

The Schaumburg Park Foundation supports the mission of the Schaumburg Park District by raising funds at events and through direct donations.

The Brave Way Self Defense Seminar

Give us two hours and we’ll teach you and your family to defend yourselves.

Originally certified by the State of Illinois to teach police officers, it’s one of the easiest to learn and most effective self-defense classes you may take. The techniques we teach will stop an attacker immediately; don’t require constant practice or years of training to master and work regardless of your age, size, strength, speed, skill or physical ability. You’ll learn to anticipate and avoid potentially dangerous situations and to defend yourself if needed at work, home, dating, when traveling, and more. You’ll learn: defenses against armed/unarmed attackers; single/multiple attackers; standing/ground techniques; and rape defense/prevention. Participants also get a Personal Safety Guide to help make you and your family safer in all areas of your lives. The class is targeted at teens and adults, but 8-11 year olds may sign up and take the class with an adult. This class could save your life!

FootGolf is a new exciting sport available at Walnut Greens Golf Course. It combines traditional golf with the sport of soccer. The goal of FootGolf is the same as traditional golf. Players try to kick a soccer ball into a 21” hole in the least amount of kicks. The player with the lowest combined score at the end of the round wins. 9 holes of FootGolf will be played following a similar layout to golf. Unlike many sports, FootGolf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or umpire. The game relies on the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players and to abide by the rules. All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of their competitiveness.

FootGolf Rates and Schedule: • 9 Holes:........................... $11 • 9 Hole Cart:.................... $8 per rider • Soccer Ball Rental:........... $5 *Bring your own soccer balls. Rentals are limited.

Open play is available Monday-Friday and after 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Please contact the Golf Shop 847/490-7878 to schedule a starting time and mention that you’re playing FootGolf.
