Traps were under repair. The rough was very thick which slowed play.

Horrible Shape

You probably already know almost every sand trap is unplayable. They have about three fixed and maybe 10 in process out of many.

The rough here is just weeds even around the tea boxes there’s weeds there’s weeds and white blade grass everywhere. This course has not been maintained and I doubt it will ever come back. Don’t spend your money to play here. It’s not worth it anymore.

Course is great but currently under construction

I love this course and always find it challenging and a fun round with friends. The difference this time was two of the holes were under construction and all the bunkers are in state of repair or just not maintained this year.

Would have been nice to know this when booking this course online. The course did give us a free cart for future rounds, but who knows when that will be.

Pass Go!!

Bunkers are under repair and unplayable. Was not notified before paying. Also the course was cart path only. Wouldn’t recommend until everything is back to normal.

Course under construction

There’s 3 Greens/Sand traps around the Greens are under construction…Holes 6/7/8 have temporary greens which is pretty much a FAIRWAY that they put a flag on.

Take a pass until work is completed

I disagree with all the wonderful reviews of dunne. First off, temporary greens on #6, 7, and 8. would have been nice if they didn’t lie to us when they said just #6. how ‘bout a discount on the rate while this is going on. pace of play out here is always terrible; never any rangers to move things along. besides all this work on the traps, they need to repair the cart paths; need to see an orthopedic afterwards. on #1 we realized no sand/seed in the bottle. lots of little things like this suggests going elsewhere the rest of this season.

Course operator here. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and thoughts. We appreciate that came to play George Dunne, and please know that while we (and clearly other reviewers) are beyond excited to bring the bunkers into the future, we still strive to provide a great experience during renovations. You point out areas where we can - and will - tighten up. We'd like to learn more about your suggestions, so please reach out directly at info.georgedunne@forestpreservegolf.com. Thanks again for your feedback.

Great day for George Dunne

The weather was great but a little windy and the course was in good condition. I only wish I knew holes 6 & 7 were under Contruction beforehand.

But the greens were fast and the course is in good shape.

Fun Course

It was very windy and all bunkers were being renovated, but once every is done and on a nice day, this course will be a blast! The course was in great shape despite it raining for the past week.

And I only paid $35 for 18 and a Cart for a Sunday!

I will be back for sure.

Unfortunately, course was super wet, due to rain the previous 2 days, a lot of standing water, sand traps flooded, otherwise, it is a great course, numerous challenging holes

March Golf! Great staff!!

We love this course & always get great service from the staff inside and out!! Jim the starter always gives us the necessary info we need for the round, knowledgeable & friendly!!! The course is always in good condition and we know the bunkers have been an issue even in midseason, but looking forward to this year‘s improvements that Jim let us know are on the way! Here’s where you know of course is run right, we were to some groups with another twosome. By hole 5 we called the pro shop and let them know that there was @ least a 3 hole gap between the slow group ahead of us & the next 4some. They sent starter Jim out who informed the group ahead of us to pick up the pace. He stopped by our group & said it shouldn’t be a problem again but if it does just give another call! That’s all you can ask for & more than you get than at most courses these days. Will keep coming back for the course, Jim and the team there!
