Mt Prospect Golf Club

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.

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.

Weather was perfect, course in beautiful shape,played a great round of golf and enjoyed the bar afterwords!

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!

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

really interesting course. "pro" style greens. You must hit to the proper tier or you are looking at a three put.

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.

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.

We enjoyed the course and the greens were very undulating. Sand comes into play frequently. There was heavy play(Sunday afternoon at 3PM was our time) and the front 9 took over 3 hours. The back nine was better. It would have been nice if the course could have roamed the course more to encourage faster play and not rely on messages to the GPS screen on the cart which I'd guess most people don't read. At one point there were 3 groups on a tee box for 3 consecutive holes waiting to play. The layout of the course is such that many holes run next to each other and errant shots do go into other holes making it a little dangerous and adds to the slower play. The course is affordable and worth what they charge.

Played in under 4 hours on a Sunday morning..... Don't let the 6305 yards fool you. This course is challenging and one of the best 6300 yard public golf courses in the US. If you are an avid golfer- try it.....5 par 3's (Par 70 layout), make the courses overall yardage seem short, but it plays like 6700 yard par 71. Very generous from tee to green, the green complexes will challenge you. First time playing can be a head scratcher, play it a few times and you will get to know the course. This place has a private club feel, from the surrounding neighborhood, to the practice facility (2 putting greens, short game/bunker area and 1/2 acre grass tee range). Arrive early, enjoy the practice area and prepare for your round. Oh yea, and the restaurant/bar/patio is a great place to relax afterwards.

Mt Prospect GC is a challenging, well maintained golf course...it was re-designed several years ago...a fantastic job. The course drains great so playing after inclement weather doesn't present a problem.

The greens are as interesting and can be as difficult as any greens anywhere. They all have multiple levels and as a consequence require thought as to where your approach shots need to come from to gain access to the best level on the green...

The course isn't long...so for seniors like me (still single digit handicap) they play fair but tough.

Love this course.

Had the BEST experience playing at Mt. Prospect! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, not to mention super patient. The course redesign also looks incredible. 100/10 would recommend.

Staff is super friendly and the redesign challenges all golfers

Got a great deal to play twighlight for $22. My buddy and I got there about 10 minutes before our tee time. When we were paying the guy helping us said they were waiting on some carts and he would get us one right away and meet us on the putting green. So about 5 minutes later we saw him driving a cart towards us so we thought we were going to get our cart. He ended up giving the cart to a guy that had arrived after me and my buddy. Didn't think much of it just thought they might be running a little behind. But then for the next half hour my friend and I watched him give 5 carts to his buddies and continue to ignore us. At that time I was pretty fed up and went to go talk to him. When I approached him he completely ignored me and continued to chat with his friends. I then entered the pro shop and spoke to a very nice girl who dropped what she was doing and got me and my buddy a cart right away. As I was walking out this guy saw me and used some language I will not repeat on here while chuckling with his friends. So even though this was a great course and deal I will probably never go here again just because of that one employee.
