This 27-hole public facility, operated by the Schaumburg Park District, was looking to secure its place in the Chicago market as a premier golf destination. A cornerstone of the community, PD leaders were also looking to improve the long-term sustainability of the course for the next generation by addressing a failing infrastructure, including the reconstruction of the existing greens to USGA recommendations. Originally designed by famed architect, William Langford, redevelopment plans also called for the preservation and re-establishment of many of his strategic bunker and mound features, but with attention to current yardages, playability and maintenance needs. Bunker styling and construction techniques (i.e. aggregate liners) were employed to ease maintenance of sand while still allowing for dramatic lines and character. A permanent five-marker tee system was also incorporated, with focus on the addition of a forward tee system dubbed the “Life Tees”. The intent of this system is to encourage tee choice based on player ability, with the incentive to “graduate” from front to back and then back to front as skill sets changes with age.

Original architect(s): William Langford (1928)

Testimonials

“From initial design to permitting, bidding and construction, Todd Quitno was instrumental in assisting the district with evaluating the long term investments in our facility's future, developing strategies to improve our customers' experience and increase revenues. Todd's effective use of social media during the project, along with the tremendous changes to the course has created a tremendous buzz around the golf course.

"As Golf Course Superintendent at Tippecanoe Lake Country Club, it has been my pleasure to be involved in two major projects with Todd and his predecessor, Bob Lohmann, Both were completed on time and at budget. The design team was wonderful to work with, and our membership is very pleased with the results. In fact, our membership has grown since the completion of the projects and the excitement has them continuously asking me: ‘What's next?’”

“Like any facility contemplating a project, we had a vision of what we wanted. It takes a talented and focused company to interpret someone else’s vision and provide a product that compliments it exactly. This team has that talent and focus. They provided us with a facility that meets every expectation we laid in front of them and one that we are extremely proud of. The foresight, planning and execution Todd brought to the table as lead architect positioned Indian Creek well for many years to come.”

Jim Nedrow GCS
Superintendent, Indian Creek Golf Course

“During the past 25+ years I have worked directly with Todd and his predecessor, Bob Lohmann, at both of our golf facilities on a diverse range of projects. Both have demonstrated a passion and commitment to meeting or exceeding our expectations on each project, understanding the unique challenges that we face at each of our golf facilities and developing solutions that meet player expectations and that are cost effective. This expertise has been a big key to our success!”
