The course is well maintained even after it rained the last few days. We didn't have to wait for anyone in front of us. The greens are hilly and challenging which makes it a fun course.

Nice course

Course overall is a thinkers course, GPS really helped

Some holes do cross so beware of flying balls

Course winds through a neighborhood and greens are challenging

So bring your game.

Had to leave it was so slow. Seriously.

5somes. 5 min between tee times. Stacked tee boxes. Range was soaking wet turf when the rough was dry. Luckily they let me get a rain check. I’ll try again when it’s early and hopefully not so painfully slow. Like 5 + hours slow.

Great Course for the money

This has to be one of the best values for the money around Chicago. It’s a challenging course, especially from the rough and the greens on more than a few holes are very tough and well laid out. The overall condition was great for the price I paid to play mid week and the greens are in great condition. The pace is a little slow but not slow enough that I won’t be back.

One of the better values in Chicago

First time playing Mt Prospect, and I wish I would have visited years ago. A tight layout with elevated and heavily undulated greens. In great condition, especially for a muni. The course had electric GPS carts, and pace of play was great. Will be back soon!

Neighborhood Gem

Was very surprised by this neighborhood course.

Had a great experience. Greens are very tough and offer a challenge.

Holes offer a lot of diversity which keep you sharp on all areas of your game.

Would definitely recommend.

Great old course

Tremendous strategic holes that make you think about every tee shot without being too penal. The variety in hole length lets you hit different clubs and while providing a lot of variety. Putting surfaces are challenging - a respite from boring flat greens.
