MT. PROSPECT GOLF CLUB

The mature oak and maple canopy frames every approach shot on this classic Illinois parkland track, where strategic bunkering punishes wayward drives more than raw distance. Elevated greens demand precision iron play, particularly on the demanding par-4 14th that doglegs sharply around century-old trees. What separates this municipal gem from typical Chicago-area daily fees is the thoughtful routing that maximizes elevation changes across surprisingly rolling terrain for the prairie.
