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.

Challenging course, well maintained

MP is a gem of a muni. Price is usually reasonable for the quality of the course. Greens are hard and fast with challenging (but not punishing) breaks. Tighter fairways and more OB compared to some of the other muni courses in the NW suburbs. Course length and hole layout is fairly traditional. A few unique holes, but nothing that will leave you scratching your head as a first time player. Course will challenge high handicap players to break 100, mid handicap players to break 90, and low handicap players to break 80, etc. but wont leave you frustrated or snapping clubs. Highly recommend if you are looking for a muni course in the NW burbs.
