Slow play
Nice layout, always in good conditions...complete JOKE how slow it is. Never a ranger to move people along. Walked off the course earlier in the week it was so bad. Figure it out.
The condition of course was in very good shape, but I have to say that whomever designed the greens is a complete moron.....no way are they designed for a normal golfer let alone the hacker's that play here it's like playing on minature golf course just needed a clown at the end......wait that's must be the designer! Nice waste of millions of dollars! Shot a 75 only because I had some good luck landing in the right spots.
Good course but greens are ridiculous
Course was good, in good condition, but they tried to make course harder by tricking up the greens. They are completely ridiculous!!
We're very sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your round with us. We understand how our new greens can frustrating to new players. Please come out and give us another try in the future.
Thanks again
Mt Prospect continues to be one of my favorite, very affordable courses...plenty challenging and always in good shape. I plan to play there most every week.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5 star review!
Very well maintained!
A fun track! Par 70 6300 yard layout- some Long Par 4’s & few 170 yard+ par 3’s make this an excellent challenge- won’t use your mid irons much- huge undulating greens make pin placement key - stay on same tier ! Greens fast & true- Price was right for Early week play.
Thank you so much for the 5 stars! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your day with us! Please come and see us again soon.
The course is well designed
Everything was great about the course. The range was in great shape. The chipping area is a masterpiece for anyone with an imagination. The course was in excellent shape from tee box to fairway to green. The layout makes the course very difficult along with the tricky greens. I would play this course again. Only thing I could say that was bad about the day was the old grumpy man at the check in podium. He would not accept my receipt because it was ripped and a bit sweety. Very unprofessional on his part.
We're so sorry to hear about your experience with us and we apologize for the behavior of our starter. Our Golf Operations Manager, Debra Cromie, would like to discuss this with you further. If you'd like, you can reach her at dcromie@mppd.org or via phone at 847-259-4200
Greens were excellent
First time at Mt. Prospect. We had a 4 some of hackers (high 80s-90s) and got around in 4:15 with a group ahead of us. Fairways and tee boxes were in good conditions, and the greens were very good. Rolled smooth, very receptive on short/mid irons. Extremely undulating greens and there are a few holes were you really have to hit it in the right spot or 3 putts are likely. Rangers patrol often to keep people moving as best they can. All in all a very solid course and I’d definitely go back for $55.
Thank you so much for the great review! We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your round with us and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Great experience, full of character, unlike most Chicago courses
I had heard good things about the Mt. Prospect redesign, so I had to go see it for myself. I was not disappointed. I'm often underwhelmed by the courses in Chicagoland, which are often flat, thoughtless designs with lots of marsh that force you to play target golf. Mt. Prospect is not.
Any course that offers character is immensely enjoyable to me, and Mt. Prospect has plenty of it. Getting to play classic template designs like Redan, Biarritz, Eden, Cape, Punchbowl, Alps, Road Hole, and Double Plateau is a treat. Many complain about the difficulty of the greens, which are undulating and feature plateaus and ridges separating sections. But they are pure and they challenge your ability to both read the greens and putt with the correct speed. Probably the best I've played in the Chicago suburbs to date. The greens are also raised with false fronts and narrow bunkers, requiring a good (and creative) short game.
The beauty of the design is that even though the course tips out at 6,305 yards, it allows you to choose how you want to play it. You can hit driver off most tees, but you better be able to shape it both left and right or you risk running through the fairways into thick rough or well-placed traps. The safer option is to hit 3-wood, hybrid, or long irons off the tee, but then you are left with longer approaches to the difficult green complexes.
Mt. Prospect is very walkable. The $30 weekday twilight rate I got included a cart, and the GPS was very helpful for my first visit, but I wish I had walked. There are also very nice practice facilities, and the clubhouse (I didn't see much of it) seemed to offer good amenities, including a nice patio overlooking the course.
If you're looking for a high-quality course with a unique design full of character and a great price point, you have to check out Mt. Prospect. I can't come back soon enough!

Nice little track
Fun little course, nice condition.Local knowledge makes a big difference here.Severe undulating greens can punish you if you leave the ball in the wrong spot. We’ll be back
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a great review! We love hearing from our wonderful golfers!
hey, this is a great course
really interesting course. "pro" style greens. You must hit to the proper tier or you are looking at a three put.

Really Fun/Strategic Golf Course
I had a blast playing Mt Prospect. I was in Chicago on business and was excited to play it after reading about its template holes. This place did not disappoint. The layout was really fun and did not beat you up. You had to really position yourself well and hit quality shots. The conditions were really nice and the staff was friendly as well.
Incredible Track, More Incredible Greens
Prior to playing here for the first time I had not even heard of Mt. Prospect GC. Oh man, all I can say is what a pleasant surprise. The greens were professionally manicured and consistent throughout. The track was a ton of fun. Really this course had it all.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your round with us and we hope you'll visit us again soon!
