Awesome Mt. Prospect Golf Course!!!!
Mt. Prospect is one of the best golf courses around the northern Chicago suburbs. It is well maintained, fairways are beautiful and the greens can be challenging! Highly recommended to all golfers!!!!
Greens like lightning
Took a few holes to adjust to the really quick greens. Needed some water, but overall, had a terrific round.
Fun and demanding course
This course is a bit more strategic and demanding then the average muni golf course. The course has a great design and flow. The condition of the course was very good with a few exceptions (bare patches) on some fairways. The greens were in excellent condition and the contours made for some very challenging putts. All in all, a very enjoyable round on well maintained and nicely designed course.
Enjoyable Course
This was a solid course. It was not overly challenging but certainly presents some difficulty and was in decent shape. The course layout is pretty fun and will keep you focused on what is in front of you. While the course was in mostly decent shape, it was a little chewed up and rain had saturated most fairways, some bunkers were flooded. I would likely play this course again.
Sam
Golf course has large undulating greens, many target shots and waste areas not recommended for high handicap players mounds and elevation changes are difficult to navigate on many holes, several badly designed holes as well.
Thank you for the 5 stars! We truly appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you again soon.

My new favorite muni
This place has officially become my go-to municipal course, and it’s not particularly close. The value is outstanding and the course itself is genuinely interesting and fun to play. Condition was excellent across the board.
It had been pretty wet when we played, but somehow the greens were still rolling decently fast, credit to whoever’s running the maintenance program. That said, the greens have some serious personality. At times they felt like the designer was trying to out-do a mini-golf course with the contouring. Reading putts here keeps you honest.
The bunkering is sneaky-good too. The sand traps are positioned to punish a wayward shot, but they’re small enough that landing in one feels like a personal failing rather than bad luck.
But the best part of the whole round was the pace. We had to wait a few minutes at the start while the cart staff fixed a push cart, so we teed off about five minutes late but it didn’t matter at all. The starter was understanding and courteous about it. Even with four of us walking, we comfortably kept pace with the group ahead and never saw anyone behind us. No ranger hovering around rushing people or interrupting the round. Instead, the beverage cart came by three separate times. That’s how you do it.
Highly recommend.
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're honored to hear that Mt. Prospect Golf Club has become your go-to municipal course, especially when it's not the closest option for you.
We appreciate your kind words about the course conditions, pace of play, and our staff. Our maintenance team takes great pride in providing the best possible playing conditions, and they'll be thrilled to hear their hard work on the greens didn't go unnoticed. We can't promise to tone down the contours, but we like to think they keep things interesting!
It's also great to hear that our staff helped get your day off to a smooth start and that you were able to enjoy a relaxed round without feeling rushed. We believe great pace of play and great customer service go hand in hand.
Thank you again for your support and recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back for another round soon!
Friday afternoon.
3:00 pm foursome, all in 3 carts.
All golfers hdcp: 12-17
Waited on every tee on front nine 6-8 mins. Group ahead keeping pace, so no problem. Front nine in 2:38.
Back nine foursome in front of us informs us only twosome left in front of them.
Holes 10-13 1:20. 3 holes ahead of them open. We call clubhouse to get ranger out to be told they can’t get ahold of ranger (nap time). We skipped to 14 and then the upset group we jumped drove tees shots while we were in fairway.
Morale of the Story: Don’t expect anything from the Mt Prospect rangers to do anything about pace of play. We never saw him in 18 holes.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the pace-of-play issues you experienced during your round.
While we understand that some waiting can occur on a busy Friday afternoon, the pace you described on the back nine is not the experience we strive to provide for our guests. We are also disappointed to hear about the difficulty reaching our on-course staff when you called the clubhouse.
Our goal is to monitor pace of play and address issues before they impact multiple groups on the course. We will review your comments with our staff to identify where we can improve communication and course monitoring moving forward.
We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify opportunities to improve the experience for all golfers. We hope you'll give us another opportunity to provide the enjoyable round that so many of our guests have come to expect from Mt. Prospect Golf Club.
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your round and your time at the club. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you on the first tee again soon!

Mother’s Day Hot Pick
Got a great deal on GolfNow. The course was pretty empty on Mother’s Day and the weather was good so we had fun. The course was in good condition and the greens were very fast making golf harder than my normal course. The group had fun.
Thank you for the great review! We're glad you and your group were able to take advantage of a great GolfNow deal and enjoy your round with us on Mother's Day.
It's wonderful to hear that you found the course in good condition and had a fun day on the course. Our greens can definitely provide a challenge, and we're happy to hear they kept things interesting for your group!
We appreciate you choosing Mt. Prospect Golf Club and hope to see you and your sons back for another round soon.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand that our course isn't for everyone, and we appreciate your perspective.
Mt. Prospect Golf Club is known for its challenging greens and strategic layout, which are designed to reward thoughtful shot-making and course management. While some golfers enjoy that style of play, we recognize it can present a greater challenge for higher-handicap players.
We appreciate you giving our course a try and hope you'll visit us again in the future.
