End of season.

The course was in good condition and the greens were good and firm. The foursome in front of us was a little slow. The weather was cold but we still enjoyed the round.

Great course to walk

Even though I took a cart because it was included in the special, I've walked this course in the past. 9 holes and just a bit hilly. Perfect for exercising. Narrow fairways (with houses on them) make this challenging. Lose a few balls - find a few. Been teamed up with friendly locals. Always a nice place to play.

Nice practice course

This was a nice nine hole course, you have to shoot straight or you end up in the backyard at somebody’s house. We had a lot of rain so the traps had water in them. Overall, great course to go out and execute straight drives.

Needs a ranger

Understand that this is not a course for PGA or WPGA players but there were people on the course that did not appear to have ever played golf before. Wish they had a ranger or at a minimum, posted "pace of play" signs at the course and on the scorecard. I skipped a hole to get around a foursome that was incredibly slow.

Fun 9 hole layout

Are used to play years ago on Sundays with my dad and a bunch of other relatives and I’ve always had a good time at Rob Roy. Pace was a little slow due to the two some in front of us. Folks didn’t really understand the concept of Rody Golf. Still still a good time.

The course was neglected over the summer. Need some work. Hopefully it’ll be back in shape for next spring. But still not a bad deal for the money if you book it online.

Slowest greens ever

If you like fast greens or even average speed greens beware. When you have to bang a downhill putt and it's still short, it is hard to make the adjustment. I've seen fairways cut shorter. Slow greens are not fun.

A great round of Golf at Rob Roy

Rob Roy 9 -hole golf course with 2868 yardage in Mount Prospect Illinois is a very challenging course with its lay-out in a housing complex with ponds & trees. Friends of mine from overseas name it “the burial site of golf balls”.
from overseas lost 8:balls in one round (3 balls fell in the water on hole #5 par 5 (531 yrs from blue tee and 517yds from white tee handicap 1), the management, and staff are FRIENDLY,,COURTEOUS,,HELPFUL
They are very customer friendly
I strongly recommend Rob Roy at
505 E Camp McDonald Road in Prospect Heights IL
