George W Dunne National Golf Course

Besides a bad experience with a fellow golfer (which george dunne had no control over), we had a great time. The course was in immaculate condition. Probably my favorite course on the south side of Chicago for it’s price. My friends and I love playing here. Would highly recommend

The good: Greens, driving range, practice putting area

The bad: Fairways under poor repair. Plenty of open divots

THE UGLY: Cart paths in too many areas under horrible condition.

Really a great course. Accomodating tees. Feels secluded. Great conditions late in the year

The course was in great shape except for the traps. The are completely unplayable and they ate everywhere.

This once great course is still well kept - except for the sand traps. This course has one over riding feature: huge multiple sand traps. Around the green and in the fairway. They dominate this course. They are in earful shape. Like hitting out off a cart path. Generally this would be a small complaint but because of how much of course relies on sand it makes this once great course play like a muni course. Please put some money into the sand traps.

Everything good except the bunkers, many unplayable. A real shame to let this happen to such a great golf course.

I haven’t played them all but I imagine George Dunne is the best forest preserve course in Cook County. It’s quite challenging with a lot of bunkers. It was ~very wet today and the starter said it’ll probably be cart path only for the rest of the week. However, the greens were in good condition and towards the end of the round were dry and moving fast. I got an early round in and was paired with a nice threesome so pace and partners weren’t an issue. I enjoyed the course - would recommend.

I play George Dunne regularly (3-5 times a year).

I love the course and it’s in great shape except for the sand traps. It’s a shame. I’m often paired with people playing for the first time and I find myself apologizing for the condition of the traps. Everything else about the course is awesome.

I’ve been playing GD since it opened. Love the layout, but the the bunkers are the worst in all of Chicagoland…some don’t even have sand in the them. You’re playing out of dirt. They need to seriously consider improving the condition of the traps because in their current condition, it makes an excellent course below average IMO.

course was very nice except for the sand traps. I wish we would of not even tried hitting out of them

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

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!

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.
