Fun to play
Very fair course layout, several/many difficult greens, great course to walk. Play it several times a year and enjoy the course, the staff is super friendly, if you haven’t played here, book a tee time.
One of the best public courses in Illinois.
MPGC is my goto, local course.
Excellent practice facilities, wonderful staff & very fairly priced drinks, snacks & excellent clubhouse food.
Some complain about how difficult the greens are, but hey, just makes other courses' putting seem way easier after in my book- so a plus for me!
Slow play
It's unfortunate that the course allows everyone to play at such a slow pace. Granted, it's a difficult course with trouble lurking to suck up errant shots. However, a round of golf in a cart should not take 4 hours and 40 minutes.
Otherwise, Interesting course with challenging greens.
Very different
This is the third time I played this course and I love it. The layout is a true golf experience layout. It's all about strategy and hitting the shot you need to hit. The course registers short at just 6,300 from the tips but don't let that fool you, it plays much longer. Course was in perfect condition and practice areas are wonderful. The only issue is pace of play with 4:45 completion on a Thursday. But worth it.
Fourth time here...
Normally, I have no problems with this course. But it seems that a lot of the patrons don't fix divots on the green, they don't spread the grassfeed into club divots, and they don't rake the sand after themselves. I try to do as much as possible if I have the time, even if it's not my divot to repair. I love this course, and I'd like it to not fall into waste like so many other courses to which I've gone; but at this rate, it looks like people who are golfing either don't know or don't care. It would help if a ranger goes around telling people to make sure to fix their own divots as much as possible, and even make sure the pace of play is smooth.
Greens are sloped well enough that it's challenging, but some greens are slower than others.

Tremendous course. Staff and facility is top notch. Challenging for the novice golfer, or more seasoned player. Greens are fast and well kept. This course is known for undulating greens - they are quite fun and differ depending on daily pin placement. The responsibility of the patrons to assist with green and tee box repair and upkeep would be helpful. The staff at Mount Prospect does a great job with the upkeep and maintenance - patrons could just play their part with upkeep. J. Rodgers / Mount Prospect, IL

A gem
After a long flight, I was looking for a one-day excursion and found this course near the transit hotel. It's a short but challenging course with very fast and well-kept greens. The staff was friendly, and although some parts were a little narrow, it was a good value for the money. I'll definitely play here again the next time I'm in town.

Love playing this course!

A little tricked up but playable and fun
This course is known for undulating greens. The greens are also not very big. Other quirky challenges include tiny green side bunkers and mounds of rough in seemingly random parts of fairways. The course is also rather narrow. All of this makes it more challenging than the numbers (especially overall length) might suggest. But it is playable and fun. I just wish players would use the free repair tools on the greens and the sand for the tee boxes.
Thanks for the review and for sharing your experience at Mt. Prospect! You’re right—our classic design definitely brings some unique challenges with the greens, bunkers, and fairways, and we’re glad you still found it fun and playable. We also share your wish that more golfers would take advantage of the repair tools and sand bottles provided—it really helps keep the course in great shape for everyone. We appreciate the feedback and hope to see you back out again soon!
Pretty good
The mounding and undulations around the green complexes are cool and give the course a nice look. Conditions were mostly good except for the thousand unrepaired ball marks on each green. Layout was solid but the par-fives felt gimmicky.
Thanks for sharing your feedback and for playing Mt. Prospect! We’re glad you enjoyed the unique look and challenge of the greens and layout. We do understand your concern about ball marks and are always encouraging golfers to repair them to help keep conditions at their best. We appreciate your input on the par-fives as well, and we’ll keep that in mind as we continue working to provide the best experience possible. Hope to see you back out on the course soon!
