Mt Prospect Golf Club

Mt. Prospect golf course Is one of the finest public facilities in the Chicagoland area. The conditions are immaculate and the greens are challenging. For the value there’s no find a place to play

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.

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.

Good job with the renovation.

It’s a short course but the greens make it memorable

Due to Heavy rain today, I have cancelled todays round.

Let me refund prepaid portion

There's a love/hate relationship with fairly recent redesign of this course...read the reviews below as well as my previous reviews of Mt. Prospect. Great clubhouse and good practice area with a putting green representative of what you'll be faced with on course. The extreme amount of play the course receives (as I surmised in reviews here years ago) the fairways are now getting a tad torn up/ball marked greens/tee boxes getting sketchy. Right now Mt. Prospect is playing so hard and fast I had several drives almost roll out into trouble.....30 or 40 yards longer than normal. The green complexes (after several plays) are completely and ridiculously over the top/some pads to small/many too big....and way too fast on the stimp for the casual player/weekend warrior. As an avid frequent player (as well as my playing partner that day) we have come to the conclusion that the greens complexes are fun the first couple of times - but after those initial few plays it becomes a frustrating nightmare to prox a green to 20-25 feet and not be rewarded at all with a good look at birdie unless you're lucky enough to have a straight uphill putt (which is almost impossible on this course). I'm almost to the point playing the course where you're better off missing the greens on purpose and then chipping onto them to an area where you can reasonably get an uphill non 4 foot breaking putt to attack the hole and just get up and down for par. While picturesque with a lot of cool old school design features - Mt. Prospect basically comes down to a putting examination. If your shot stick is working you'll score very well - if not be prepared for multiple 3 putts and 4 putts. The difficulty navigating the greens also contributes to very slow play especially after the turn. Overall 4 stars. Recommend for at least couple of plays.....several of the reviews below will give you good insight. I definitely try to play Mt. Prospect at least once a season.

The green designer and greens keeper need to apologize to everyone. This place has the most “circus” greens I’ve ever played on. They don’t deserve to be on an amateur or professional course. When you hit an iron shot onto the green you should be putting with no problem. However, hole 18, second my second shot was put onto the green, but I had no chance to sink a putt because of a peninsula of fringe and rough that separated my ball from the hole…how dumb is that! Oh, and the undulations in every green are impossible.

Nice track. Greens are very undulating which helps protect par on this shortish layout. I would play again. Also, for a public course greens were quick! Only negative is the number of ballmarks, greens are soil not sand based so the ballmarks are pretty prevalent.
