First Time Playing

Not great

First time playing here and I had high hopes. Unfortunately my first impression should’ve been an omen for the rest of the day… pulled up to the first tee about 5 min prior to our tee time. There was a group in front of us who was running behind, half of them were there but others were missing. The starter comes up and asks what time our tee time was, I responded and for some reason got talked down to and scolded by this crabby older gentleman. He said we should not be up here crowding the group in front of us, I reminded him that the group in front us were the ones who were late, we were actually on time and had that group been on time we never would have even crossed paths with them to start the day. To which he responded well they’ve got a standing tee time, they’re here every week. Which I guess means you can be late and have no recourse. They were a group of 5 and we waited on them all day - no less. The 2 gentlemen we were paired up with were very friendly and more or less shrugged it off, which I can only assume means it’s common practice for the crabby old man starter to be rude to paying customers. The course itself has a nice layout, unfortunately this course was not in very good condition. The greens, on the par 3’s in particular were in brutal shape, they looked like minefields. Wish I would have played elsewhere and saved my $90. Don’t think I’ll be back.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're very sorry to hear that your first visit to Mt. Prospect did not meet your expectations. We truly value every guest, and it’s disappointing to learn that your round began on such a frustrating note. Your feedback about the interaction at the first tee and the pace of play is concerning and not reflective of the experience we aim to provide.

We also regret that course conditions, especially on the par 3 greens, fell short of what you anticipated—we are constantly working to improve the course and appreciate hearing where we can do better.

We’d like the opportunity to speak with you directly and learn more about your visit. Please reach out to our Golf Operations Manager, Debra Cromie, at dcromie@mppd.org. We hope to have the chance to make things right and restore your confidence in Mt. Prospect Golf Club.

Great design and challenging for all skills levels

I played with a local regular player and two-weekend golfers on Father's Day. We had different handicaps and skills, but we noticed that the course offered various challenges for everyone. It's a fun course to work on your course management and short gap. The practice facility and practice green are excellent amenities. It's a fantastic walking course, too.
