JUST GO PLAY THERE!

Great layout - tees, fairways, traps, greens all in wonderful shape. Chipping and putting must be really good to play this course. The challenge is not to 3 putt.

You honestly can’t beat this course for the price! Very nice public course, but the greens are pretty ridiculous…. I mean the best of the best would have trouble with these greens…. Very well kept just PGA level tough!! But still fun while being extremely challenging. Def recommend

Lots of bang for the buck

Played here for the first time today. Course is in excellent condition. Pins were in tourney positions for a local Junior Championship playing a little later. That made for way too many 3-putts for me, but that’s my weak link, anyway.

Bottom line is that the course is in excellent shape with the best tees I’ve seen in months. Pace of play was excellent at about 3:50 on a Wednesday morning. The staff was very friendly throughout. Shout out to starter Jim and sorry to the groundskeeper whose cart I bounced a ball off of.

Will definitely return.

Hidden Gem

Challenging course that isn’t really long, but has tough undulating greens with some long par 4’s peppered in. The staff was extremely pleasant.

Okay course

The course conditions were not that great. A lot of dry spots on the greens and lots and lots of divots throughout every fairway. Great warm up and practice areas

18 Year Review

Been 18 years since the last time we played this course. Finally found a price that was pretty comparable to what we usually try to pay. Prices have always been too high for us to play since 2003. We were very impressed with the renovations...we think there were two in 18 years with great drainage now from the last renovation and 4 inches of rain the day before. Biggest issue/complaint is that the scorecard yardages are always much more than the GPS from the tee box even with no doglegs. I've already told another friend that we must play this course this year and we will try to be regulars again as long as prices remain reasonable.

Fun little track

A nice little gem in the heart of mount prospect. A shorter course which requires a bit of shot making off the tee, especially for longer hitters. Make no doubt though, you can over power this course with driver and set up tons of scoring opportunities if you place the ball in the fairway off the tee. Pace of play was a little below average, played on a Sunday afternoon so I guess I should expect that. Beware of tons of "fore" shouts because there's a ton of drunk hacks who like to come out here and beat up the place. Surprised on the condition given the clientele however. Would return but on a slower day.
