What happened to this place!!!

Horrible round.!!! This place has become a joke! No ranger in sight! Sat on every tee box for 10 minutes before teeing off. At one point there were 3 groups on one box. Don’t know what happened to this place but it’ll be the last time they get my money for a while!!!

Rake bunkers

Charging $73 for a Saturday morning in April is the highest greens fee anywhere in the area. I do not mind paying top dollar but I expect top course conditions. None of the sand traps were raked. Looks like they haven’t been touched in weeks. Just because players can take bunkers due to covid, does not mean the course can not take them prior to each day. Especially weekends.

I am a 8 handicap

I love this course and have heard a lot about its past, i would love to come here when the weather allows. However the greens and the grass in most areas except the fairway, with exceptions, lack labor. This is a great place but i definitely think the rates should also be a tad cheeper and i also think it would help with the amount of customers that go golfing here. Although a lot of golfers go to Dunne i think at least when it hits 12:30pm the price should be lowered to a similar price that some of the other courses around here have.

The Best of the Forest Preserve Courses

This is one of my favorite courses! I recently started golfing this year and this is the course that I will consistently return to. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The course is usually kept in good condition. Occasionally after a large rain fall the fairways can be in rough shape, but the grounds crew really works hard to keep this course in good shape. Some of the greens could use a little work. This can be a challenging course for a beginner but has really helped me improve my game and how I approach my shots. I cannot recommend this course enough. I try to golf here at least once a week and have brought many of my friends and family to play here as well.
