A little tricked up but playable and fun
This course is known for undulating greens. The greens are also not very big. Other quirky challenges include tiny green side bunkers and mounds of rough in seemingly random parts of fairways. The course is also rather narrow. All of this makes it more challenging than the numbers (especially overall length) might suggest. But it is playable and fun. I just wish players would use the free repair tools on the greens and the sand for the tee boxes.
Pretty good
The mounding and undulations around the green complexes are cool and give the course a nice look. Conditions were mostly good except for the thousand unrepaired ball marks on each green. Layout was solid but the par-fives felt gimmicky.
Thanks for sharing your feedback and for playing Mt. Prospect! We’re glad you enjoyed the unique look and challenge of the greens and layout. We do understand your concern about ball marks and are always encouraging golfers to repair them to help keep conditions at their best. We appreciate your input on the par-fives as well, and we’ll keep that in mind as we continue working to provide the best experience possible. Hope to see you back out on the course soon!

Ban List Candidate: How to Ruin a Perfectly Good Summer Round
This course used to be one of my favorites, but after this summer it may be off my list. I understand the heat and lack of rain, but the conditions are unacceptable. Teeboxes are chewed up, fairways are burnt out, and the greens are covered in unrepaired pitch marks. It feels neglected. For the price they charge, this is not worth playing until major improvements are made.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your recent experience did not meet expectations. You’re right — the summer weather has been challenging, and it has impacted the condition of the course in several areas. Please know that our maintenance team is actively working to improve the tee boxes, fairways, and greens as conditions allow.
We truly value your input and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future to show you the course at its best.
A beautiful day!!
I couldn't beat the senior price to walk this course. The temp was great at tee time (6:40 AM) and got nicer as the day went on. I played with 3 younger guys who were great. We followed a 4-some of walkers. We waited almost every shot on the front, which played in about 2:15. They played the back in 2 hours, and so did we!!!
I was very surprised at the number of unfixed ball marks on the greens. I fixed at least 2 every hole. They really need to encourage people to fix them. Still, a great course!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful day, the course, and your round with great company. We appreciate your feedback regarding the ball marks on the greens — encouraging all players to repair them is something we take seriously, and we’ll continue to remind golfers to help keep the greens in top condition.
We’re happy you still had a great experience and hope to see you back out on the course soon!
Thank you so much for the 5-star rating! We truly appreciate your support and are glad you enjoyed your experience. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
RAINED OUT/ DID NOT PLAY - PLEASE HELP W/ REFUND!
My 2some completed 1 hole and then were rained out. We are seeking direction on how to get refunded or a raincheck. The pro mentioned because this was a "hot deal" the refund needs to come from GolfNow. The App does not allow to request cancelation due to weather on the day of play. PLEASE HELP so we can get a refund or credit back!
Shawn Jackson
Hi Shawn,
Thank you for reaching out and sorry that your round was cut short due to the weather. I believe a refund was issued, but if for any reason you haven’t received it yet, please reach out to our Golf Operations Manager, Debra, at dcromie@mppd.org and she would be happy to assist you further.
Thank you again and we hope to see you back out here soon.
Northshore style course, big greens with multiple tiers
Nice course, and would come back to play again. Lots of mature trees, greens are large, with multiple tiers, and several risk/reward holes. Reasonable weekday green fees makes this a great course option.
Thank you so much for the 5-star rating! We truly appreciate your support and are glad you enjoyed your experience. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
Thank you for the 4-star rating and for sharing your feedback! We’re glad you had a positive experience and truly appreciate your support. We’re always working to improve and hope to earn that 5th star on your next visit!
Nice course..rough greens!
Course layout is great....a moderate amount of challenging holes. Unfortunately, the greens are in bad condition. I played earlier in the year and greens were fine.Full of divots and a few dry spots.
Overall I would still recommend the course as it is somewhat challenging.
Thank you for the review and for the honest feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoy the layout and level of challenge, and we truly appreciate you still recommending the course. You’re absolutely right — the greens have taken a bit of a beating recently, and our maintenance team is actively working to get them back to the condition you experienced earlier in the season.
We hope to have you back out soon and appreciate your continued support!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to continue improving the experience for our golfers. We hope you’ll give us another chance in the future!
This is a really well-designed course. It is objectively short but the layout is challenging for a par 70. I used just about every club in my bag to get around, which I liked a lot. The course makes you think quite a bit - balancing risk/reward on many holes. The course is well-maintained but it gets A LOT of play, and the greens show it in many places (only negative). Pace of play was surprisingly quick for walking on a summer Sunday (~3 hr 45 min). I'll be back for sure!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the layout and strategic design of the course — it’s great to know it had you using every club in the bag! We truly appreciate the feedback regarding the greens as well — with the volume of play this time of year, we’re working hard to keep them in the best condition possible. We’re also happy to hear the pace of play was solid, especially on a busy summer Sunday.
We look forward to having you back out again soon!
