Solid Forest Preserve Course

This is the best Forest Preserve course I have played in terms of course layout. The conditions are still dry and not in great shape but it was enjoyable. The pace of play wasn’t great and the course was backed up a lot from the course over booking.

Back nine fail

Pretty nice course in the south burbs but unfortunately the threesome in front of us was not concerned about pace of play. Numerous shots and looked for balls too long. The back nine took 3 hours after a solid front nine. Pretty solid greens for the lack of rain and very nice personnel on the course. They need to not be as nice and crack the whip!

Bunkers are horrible

For such a nice course they need sand now dirt in bunkers. Greens were very good. Also cart person never showed until 9 th hole on front and on 10th and 17th. They need to visit the other homes especially on hot days.

Slow pace of play

It never fails me. Everytime iBooks a tee time I expect 5 hour or more round. Starters allow singles and do not pair up to speed up play. People playing from the tips and hacking away . Starter doesn't tell thm to pick up the ball and move up. It's ridiculous. I go there knowing that because of such a good deal I get on tee off. I will stay away for a while. Probably next year I'll try again. It's a shame.

Thank you for your review. We take pace of play seriously and we try our best to suggest which tee to play from but we can't force anyone to play from a certain tee. We appreciate your honest feedback and hope you come back soon so we can make your experience more enjoyable.

Tough Course

Dunne is a tough course, but I love the challenge. The greens were good, the fairways were great, the only problem was the bunkers. If they kept up the bunkers this would be my favorite course in the area.

Rough Shape

The course was in very rough shape closer to the greens. The bunkers are still not raked at all. The greens are extremely slow and bumps all around.

Course operator here. Thanks for playing a round with us, and we appreciate your candid comments. We are attending to the bunkers in the immediate future, and with a lot of play during our exceptionally mild winter, we are catching conditions up in some areas. We are always looking to improve the course, so we appreciate your first-hand experience. We hope to see you again soon!

Sand traps

Sand traps were horrible. Maybe for lack of employees, not sure. One thing for sure, the bunkers were not raked or tended to in what seemed to be weeks. Took 2 to 3 shots to get out of them. Just garbage.. The course is another story. I liked it an it was in very good shape.

Pace of play

I live in the area and have played here several times. It is a popular spot and they take advantage of it. Tee times are 10 minutes apart and it is always backed up towards the back 9. Expect to play a 4 1/2-5 hour round. If you’re okay with that, the course itself is sweet. Solid fairways and greens with a good mix of about everything- blind shots, twists and turns alongside some easier straight holes. Bunkers are pretty bad. Matted driving range with a little putting green. Used to be $30 a round now it’s 50-70 not worth it to me but if ya catch a hot deal I’d say go for it.
