Its a shame

Such a great layout and a beautiful setting. Unfortunately the conditions of the over 100 bunkers makes playing this course a very disappointing experience.

No sand

Never Disappoints

I’ve been playing George Dunne, Forest Preserve National, since it opened. Awesome course but shots are demanding. If you’re a hi handicapper, bring lots of balls. If you’re hitting where you’re looking, the course can be rewarding!

Traps are in need of some sand and TLC, but are playable.

Unfortunately, we got behind 3 groups of new golfers. They we’re struggling which made for a long afternoon/ evening for us.

Our cart ran of battery power on 12. We called the course, at 7:00. Luckily, they picked up the phone and had a new cart out to the 12 tee right after we teed off. Very thankful!

Welcome back! Good times roll.

Haven’t played this course in 7 years since I moved to Myrtle Beach. Great to come back to George Dunne Golf Course! I live in Texas now. Love the course. In excellent condition except for the Sand traps. Staff is great! Loved the starter’s overview. Kudos to Bill the Starter.

George Dunne

The design of this course is fantastic. The problem is the bunkers. I have played it many times and there is really never enough sand in the bunkers. But this time they were like playing out of cement, it was as bad as going into the water and automatic penalty if you landed in these bunkers. I doubt I will play it again this year as a result

First Time Playing

Very nice track

The tee boxes, fairways and greens are in excellent condition. Heavy rain caused the bunkers to be flooded so we took a drop for unplayable.

Shout out to the twosome we were paired with the expressway boys (Dan and Ryan) cool company.

Looking forward to playing again when the traps dry out with my brother (Broderick)

Dunne is Done

Course was not very well maintained. To a point where I am shocked that we had to pay full price for a round of 18 holes. Bunkers were in awful shape. More than half the bunkers on the course had standing water in them or were not raked or simply looked like that hadn’t been maintained in weeks. The greens were incredibly slow as well. Very disappointing round to be completely blunt. I likely will not be returning to play again.

No sand in any of the traps makes this course a 2 instead of an 8 or 9!!
