Mt Prospect Golf Club

Best public course in the surrounding area. The practice area alone is worth a stop. Even if you don't have a tee time.

There’s a lot of construction going on. However, staff has been really accommodating in every way in order to try to get us to still enjoy the round. Construction is obviously making things better for the course so I’m all for it. It’s just noisy as heck.

The main problem here is that the Marshalls don’t drive around asking whether or not people are keeping good pace. There are some people who really take their time on greens, and you almost can’t do anything about it. I wish tee times were 15 min apart and not 10.

Otherwise, love this course.

This is a tough review since I really like the course and the staff. As previously mentioned by others there was a frost delay that wasn’t communicated well if at all. By trying to accommodate everyone they managed to infuriate almost everyone. 6 hour round and no rangers to move the slow pokes along. My guess is they didn’t want to confront people they already made upset. I guess my biggest complaint is they said nothing at check in and let you get the carts set up, range balls, drinks, whatever else, and then you found out from the starter. Nope, not the way to do it. Let me know at check in snicker me decide then not after the fact. Really the only bad experience I have had here, hopefully they learn from this major drop of the ball.

Great course. Fast greens. Multi layered greens making your approach shots important. Facilities is outstanding with multiple short game and putting areas as well as a driving range. Very impressed with the city of Mount Prospect and their ability to run a muni golf course at such a high level.

They had tee times going off at 6am in early April then got hit with a 2.5 hour frost delay. So my early afternoon tee time was delayed an additional hour. On top of that, it was a 5+ hour round. The course is always great but the pace is brutal.

When I arrived here with my son we were informed that there was a one hour delay because of frost. I get it that the weather can be fickle in the greater Chicagoland area. But there’s no way with technology being what it is today that they couldn’t send out a mass email or text message stating that there was a delay ? One guy in our group had a family thing to attend in the late afternoon. He convinced his wife that he would meet her wherever it was they were going to. That caused a little rift between them. Then while playing we knew it would be backed up for the entire round. We all agreed to not let it get to us. As we waited to take our approach shots on hole #15 the group behind started yelling at us to hurry up. Ridiculous ! They started swearing at us like a bunch of kids. A husband, wife, daughter, and friend. Of course it was the dad, probably around 50 years old. Two guys in our group are police officers and one retired cop. I don’t know what this guy was trying to prove but we just saluted him letting him know he’s #1 in our book. Maybe having a ranger out on the course to patrol the inpatient players would be a good idea. Not every day but at least when you know that people are playing 6 and a half hour rounds. We were going to call the pro shop but we only had 3 holes left.

EarlyTeeTime Friday, with heavy rains from the prior day. Cart Path Only conditions, and the fairways and greens were excellent.

I have played the front nine previously, but never a full round. It is the end of March and the course shape is pristine. Even the traps were perfectly maintained. Me and my father in law were able to get all 18 holes in yesterday for under 30$ each. I imagine the prices will get higher as the season gets deeper, but that was the best 30$ I have spent as far back as I can remember.

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.

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!

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.
