A must play.
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.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We truly appreciate your support and are glad you had a great experience. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
Delay and Slow Play
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.
Thank you for your feedback and for the kind words about the course. We sincerely apologize for the long delay and slow pace you experienced. Frost delays can create a ripple effect throughout the day, and we understand how frustrating that is—especially when it leads to extended round times. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to provide you with a smoother round on your next visit.
Chaos Begets More Chaos
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.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry for the frustration caused by the frost delay and the pace of play during your round. Weather-related delays can be challenging, but we understand how important timely communication is and are actively working to improve how we notify players when delays occur.
We’re also disappointed to hear about the interaction you experienced on the course. That type of behavior is not acceptable, and your feedback about having additional ranger presence—especially on high-delay days—is appreciated and will be taken seriously.
We value your visit and hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide the enjoyable round you expected.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We truly appreciate your support and are glad you had a great experience. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
Recommend
EarlyTeeTime Friday, with heavy rains from the prior day. Cart Path Only conditions, and the fairways and greens were excellent.
Thank you for playing with us and for the great feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the course and found the fairways and greens in excellent shape, even after the heavy rain. Cart Path Only days help us protect the course so it stays in great condition all season. We appreciate you coming out for an early tee time and hope to see you again soon!
Enjoyed the whole course this round
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.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled you and your father-in-law were able to get out for all 18 and enjoy the course in early-season condition. Our maintenance team works hard to have the course and bunkers in great shape as soon as the weather allows, so we love hearing that it showed. We appreciate you spending your round with us and hope to see you back again soon as the season gets rolling!
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations. If you’d like to share more details, we’d love the opportunity to understand what went wrong and how we can improve. Please feel free to reach out to us directly.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your round at Mt. Prospect and appreciate your feedback. We hope to see you back on the course again soon!
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.
Thank you for the great review! We’re glad to hear you enjoy walking and playing Mt. Prospect, and that our staff helps make your visits enjoyable. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you back on the course again soon!
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!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad to be your go-to course and that you enjoy our facilities, staff, and clubhouse offerings. You’re right—the greens at Mt. Prospect definitely keep things interesting, and we love hearing that you see it as a fun challenge. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you back out on the course soon!
Thank you for the 4-star review! We’re glad you enjoyed your round at Mt. Prospect Golf Club and appreciate your feedback. We hope to see you back out on the course soon!
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.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the layout and challenge of the course, though we understand your frustration with the pace of play. It’s something we continually monitor and work to improve so everyone can enjoy their round. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you back for another round soon.
Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re glad you had a great experience at Mt. Prospect Golf Club and hope to see you back out on the course soon!
Thank you for your feedback and for playing Mt. Prospect Golf Club. We appreciate your honesty and are always looking for ways to improve the experience for our golfers. We hope you’ll visit us again soon!
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.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you love the layout and find Mt. Prospect both challenging and enjoyable. We’re glad the course and practice areas met your expectations. We appreciate your note about pace of play and are always looking for ways to improve the experience for everyone. We look forward to seeing you back for another great round soon!
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.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you love playing Mt. Prospect and appreciate your efforts to help maintain the course. We understand your concerns about divot and sand repair, as well as pace of play, and we’re always looking for ways to encourage all golfers to do their part in keeping the course in top condition. Your input about the greens is also helpful as we continue to monitor conditions. We appreciate your loyalty and hope to see you back out on the course soon!
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience at Mt. Prospect Golf Club. Our team works hard to provide a fun and challenging round for every golfer, and we look forward to seeing you back on the course soon!
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
Thank you for the fantastic review, J. Rodgers! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoy the challenge and variety of our course, and that our staff and facility made a positive impression. You’re right—our undulating greens are a hallmark of Mt. Prospect, and we always appreciate when golfers do their part to help keep the course in top shape. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great round soon!
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.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed your round at Mt. Prospect, especially after a long day of travel. It’s great to hear you found the course challenging and the greens in good condition, and that our team made you feel welcome. We look forward to having you back next time you’re in town!
