Mt Prospect Golf Club

Pace of play was horrendous. It took 3 hours to play 9 holes. There was no beverage cart. I called the pro shop to inquire about it and was on hold for 5 minutes, transferred 3 times to be told “yeah, she should be out there” and she never was.

Well groomed course and most holes tee to green are good. The greens and pin placements were completely ridiculous. All
Pins tucked in a corner or places on a sliding ledge. Had 5 yard targets to get your ball to stay near the hole out you hit a good iron shot in.
This is a public course not the US open. Make if fun challenging but not impossible!!

Course makes up for distance with the challenging greens!

Second time playing course, had an enjoyable 9 holes but a little confused about start. Tee time arrives, no starter on back nine for organization and couldn’t locate second half of 4-some, which we believed hit on front 9 instead of back 9. Not a big deal, still enjoyed the outing with a nice bourbon at the clubhouse afterward. Will return.

Waited 5 mins to tee off on almost every hole. Ranger drove around and didn’t do anything. Par 3’s were brutal.

Fairways were not great condition. Very patchy, especially around the green. Ground was hard.

Whoever designed the greens clearly hates golf. Tiers, plateaus and ramps more than I’ve ever seen, and it was like putting on the cart path. Not to mention pretty rough pin placements. If you have greens like that you need to water them, they were insanely dry.

Sand traps were interestingly placed / shaped but admittedly in good shape, freshly raked. Lots of random mounds and scattered throughout the course

Luckily the drink cart was present very often cause there was plenty of waiting going on for a mediocre experience. Will not be returning.

Nice shorter course which is well kept. Fairways are like greens on many public courses.

This place is an absolute gem. The conditioning rivals many of the private courses I’ve had the chance to play. The rough was lush, the fairways pristine and the greens were challenging. The has to be one of the best values in all of Chicagoland.

The tree lined course was fair but you can attack the challenging greens from the correct places. The greens are smaller than they appear because the bowls and ridges for you to be precise with your approaches.

I played the course for the first time in early May and it was in incredible condition. The fairways and greens were firm making it more of a fun challenge.

3 putts are normal! Be prepared for these undulating greens!

You either love or hate the greens. I love them challenging. You work out your bag lots of club selections.
