Mt Prospect Golf Club

I am so thrilled we picked this course for our Memorial Day morning round. The design work on the course renovation was truly outstanding and the conditions were equally good. Playing at Mt Prospect makes you feel like you are playing a private club designed by one of the great old architects from the turn of the century like Raynor, Macdonald, or Ross. If that is what they were going for when they renovated the 1926 course then they nailed it. Mt Prospect GC is a course that I would absolutely play every day. I only wish I lived in Mt Prospect.

I frequently play at Mt. Prospect Golf Club. The course is always well maintained. The range is open enough to work on every shot in the game and the bays are well maintained to hit off the grass. The greens can be challenging but are nothing to be fearful of. At 6300 yards it's a good course for men and women. It's just a very fun, well maintained course.

The staff is super friendly and are genuinely concerned about allowing golfers to just have a good time.

The pace of play is perfectly fine, even on tournament days.

The renovation last years has made this course a great place to play.

The food is very good and has a large selection.

This place is easily a 5 star place and a must play for anyone that wants to work on all parts of your game. Or if you just enjoy the game of golf.

Had a great time at Mount Prospect!

they dont water and its like hitting off concrete....driving range mats are better

Course was in good shape Greens we're extremely hard,fast and ungulated. Course is relatively flat but the make up for it on the greens. There is very few flat putts. Enjoyed course kayoutbut had tournament outing in front of us so endedupbeing 5 hour round. I would play again hooding for quicker round

I have never seen greens that are in such perfect conditions this early in the golf season. The newly designed greens are much tougher than they used to be but conditions are spectacular.

The greens will get you coming back! For being a shorter course playing 6100 from the tips, the layout and undulating greens will truly test your game

A fun and challenging course. Very well conditioned considering how early it is in the season. Slow start due to frost on the grains but otherwise pace of play was excellent. Enjoyed it very much

Mt. Prospect GC is a fun course. It is a very interesting and challenging layout, forcing you to use every club in the bag. The only complaint about the course itself is that the greens are rock hard and it's tough to hold approach shots, as they usually careen off of the undulations on the greens.

Overall it was a beautiful day on a fun golf course. Can't complain.

Got caught behind a foursome giving what seemed to be an on course lesson??? Greens were filled with false fronts and tricky reads. Overall worth the price, only bugged by the fact it was one of the longest rounds due to a foursome not allowing us to play through and giving a lesson

Play the course many times before the renovation and the changes that were with the renovation are incredible. The practice areas were vastly improved with a large practice putting green with many slopes and undulations, a short game area that you can pitch and hit bunker shots and a 20 station bent grass tee range. The only one I know of in the area.

The course itself is completely changed. Bunkers were placed in strategic places all around the course. Mounding was placed between fairways of the holes give separation to this tight course and really gives the course some character. The biggest change, however, is the greens. The old greens were very small and circular with hardly any break at all. The new greens are 2 to 3 times the size with many slopes and undulations in them, which makes them challenging yet fun to play. I was told all 18 greens are replicas of famous green around the world. I was even impressed with the new GPS equipped on each cart. I was able to touch anywhere on the screen and it gave me the exact yardage to that point and then the yardage from that point to the hole. Very helpful in laying up or punching out from under a tree.

Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the renovation and I like the new challenges the course presents. HUGE upgrade from the old course. I loved everything from the practice areas, to the carts and GPS, the changing elevation of the landscape and the greens. I will definitely be playing this course more often. Job well done Mt. Prospect!

I played the course two years ago before the renovation. It was good before, but now with the all new cart paths, greens, fairways, and tee boxes its a "Must Play Destination". The new holes are very exciting as well are all the greens. The club house has good food at a very reasonable price and a great outside raised covered porch to have a drink and view the course. That's one of my favorite things. As a final note,the staff and cart girls are friendly and the the extra mile for you.

From tee to green this course is modestly challenging...but the greens are fantastic. If you want greens that are the closest to Augusta...then these are the ones. Our league played here several years prior to the course renovation and just started up last week after playing at another course for two years. We are glad to be back. Their practice facilities are incredible. Altogether the renovations improved an already good course.

Having played the course before the renovation and after, I look forward to playing this year. They have done a great job on the fairways and bunkers. The greens will be challenging but putt well. Positioning will be imperative and good shots will be rewarded and bad approaches will cost you.

They have a great practice area for chipping, putting and sand play.

Absolutely visually stunning golf course. Everything looks to be growing in nicely after the renovation and the maintenance crew is doing a great job.

Tee-to-green you'll be impressed with the views. Light undulation in the fairways and a few bunkers keep the eyes busy. The greens look intimidating, but with decent speed control and a little bit of creativity when reading putts you won't find these greens to be too much of a problem.

The staff are outstanding; friendly and always willing to go that extra mile.

cant believe this course is in illinois..easy to play ....fun...looks great....i will play there at least once a week....people are really nice....food is great.....love it...practice area is great

The defining feature of this course are the greens.It reminds me of watching the Masters. The greens are very challenging and fun. If your looking for flat greens this is not for you. You have to place your approach shots and walk around your putts and view all angles. The course is in very good shape and I think if your looking for a good public course you won't be disappointed.

I've played this course for a few years and am very impressed with the changes that were made in the recent redesign. The practice area has been expanded with a huge practice putting green and an additional area to work on short game shots. The course itself has several redesigned holes. All the greens have been redone and present the golfer with and experience you would only find on a private expensive course. If you're up for a great golf challenge, play here.

Played this course before the restoration in a league. enjoyed it then, because I'm not a long hitter but I can putt. After the restoration, I still can't hit it long, but my putting will come into play. If I'm a 0-4 handicap player and can't play this municipal course, I'm figuring my handicap wrong. The greens are challenging, but I can sometimes reach them in regulation, then it is up to me to hone my putting skills. You use your putter every hole, and the course has a very nice practice green, that you can drop by, and practice on and it doesn't cost you a penny. The practice areas are very friendly to bringing the kids out to practice their game. I'm glad our league is back at Mount Prospect. I can compete with the big hitters.

I played the MPGC regularly once it reopened last August. During the winter was able to golf in both the South and West but have to say it was good to get back to MPGC earlier this week and interesting green complexes.

With the renovations the course was enhanced with an update practice area - large practice putting green that duplicates slopes and breaks you will find during your round, a large driving range and a separate practice green with traps for short game work. A really wonderful addition.

To make room for the practice area, there were new holes built, #1, #10 - 13 and #18. The new holes are a fresh addition to those of us that play MPGC regularly and are both fun and challenging. Watching the construction, I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to play the new #11, but have found it to be a rewarding "easy bogey but hard par" type of hole.

All the other holes received new tee boxes and green complexes. However, it is the green complexes that are the unappreciated treasure of MPGC. The architect, Dave Esler, pays homage through the greens to an early 20th century golf course designer, Seth Raynor. While I have heard my share of fellow golfers bemoan the greens, they are classic golf hole designs. The course boasts Redan, Biarritz, Punchbowl and Double Plateau style of putting surfaces. The fact is that to play true Seth Raynor designed greens like these you need to wrangle an invitation to exclusive private clubs like Chicago Golf Club or Shoreacres. The game is more fun and rewarding when one embraces these green complexes and their subtleties.

Those of us living in Mt Prospect are fortunate to have such a gem of a course in our backyards!
