Mount Prospect Golf Club reopens Aug. 1-2

"What's old is new again" as the Mount Prospect Golf Club, 600 S. See-Gwun, Ave., reopens its doors Saturday, Aug. 1.

A shotgun start begins promptly at 10 a.m. The foursome fee of $500 includes 18 hole greens fees with cart, commemorative golf shirt with new course logo and a steak dinner following play.

The celebration continues Sunday, Aug. 2, with a 9 a.m. shotgun start. The foursome fee of $320 includes 18 hole greens fees with cart and a souvenir hat with new course logo.
