Course is in great shape for this time of the year some green side bunkers need some sand in them, though outside of that great!
Great value for a well-maintained and challenging course
Course condition was impressive for early spring and the greens were some of the quickest and most challenging I've played at a public course near the city. Most holes offer some breathing room on your driver shots but will challenge your approach shots, short game, and putting skills. (It really ate me alive as a high-handicap, anyway.) The bunkers were also fairly workable, at least by Chicago standards.
The practice facilities (2 putting greens, a chipping/sand area, and a driving range) were great, the staff was ultra helpful, clean porta-potties were available every few holes, and the round pace was pretty reasonable for a weekend. The only things I'd add are more non-alcoholic beverage options (cold drinks with caffeine that aren't sodas) and maybe additional water-refill stations on the course. I'll definitely be back!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the challenge of the course and appreciated the conditions, especially this early in the season. It’s great to know our practice facilities, staff, and pace of play helped make your round a positive experience.
We also really appreciate your suggestions on drink options and water refill stations — those are great ideas, and we'll absolutely take them into consideration. Thanks again for the kind words, and we look forward to having you back at Mt. Prospect soon!
Snail's pace, 3hr front 9
Starter and ranger need to remind people of ready golf, especially with mixed tees. Our 4some had a 3 hr front 9. Absolutely no reason for that! There was a 2 hole gap in front of us. Ridiculous!
I'm sorry to hear that your round at Mt. Prospect didn’t meet your expectations. We had a 2.5-hour frost delay this morning, which unfortunately backed up the entire tee sheet and caused slower play throughout the day.
Even with 10-minute tee time intervals, our pro shop staff monitoring pace, and a ranger on the course, the delay created some tough conditions to manage. That said, it doesn’t excuse the fact that there were two open holes in front of the group ahead of you. We did have a ranger out there, and we’ll be following up with our team to make sure they’re keeping a closer eye on those situations moving forward.
We completely understand how frustrating that experience can be and appreciate your patience. We hope you'll consider giving us another shot—we’d love the opportunity to provide a much better experience next time.
Thanks for the 5 stars! We're glad you enjoyed your time at Mt. Prospect Golf Club. It’s always great to hear positive feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another round soon!

Didn't Know of the Course Condition
There was no information on Golf Now that water mains were being worked on and the course was modified. We played behind a foursome who were oblivious of their pace of play. This caused for a slow round. The course ranger should be more aware of the pace of play. Rounds should not take 4-1/2 hours.
Nicer municipal course
Played here for the first time in a long time. The course conditions were very good. I was a bigger fan of the original layout of this course, but they have done a nice job updating the course. The greens are what make this course play a lot tougher than it used to. The course was pretty full, and the overall pace was about 4 1/2, although it feels slow having to wait a few minutes on every tee, sometimes before the group ahead has even teed off.

Thanks so much for the 5-star review! We're glad you enjoyed the course and appreciated the early-season conditions. We hear you on the green side bunkers—adding sand is on our radar and part of our spring maintenance plan. Hope to see you back out here soon for another great round at Mt. Prospect!
