Course yes, bunkers still no
Love this course for the layout & the challenge. They’ve improved the range with new matts & balls. The staff is always professional & nice. I’ve been told since Covid that they’re redoing the bunkers & if you’ve played here you realize that it’s no small task or expense. The many bunkers are in need of sand & that’s the only thing keeping it from 5 stars!
Slow pace- overcrowded
The pace of play was really poor for it took over 5 hours and we got stuck behind groups that were waiting the entire round. The bunkers are straight up dirt that aren’t worth hitting out of.
Great course! Awesome history. Fun layout. Fair price 👍

The tee boxes are in bad condition the sand traps are full of water and not sand unable to hit of the sand traps at all. Definitely not worth what they charge for a round the course has really fallen off over the last few years
Never again
This used to be a nice course, really went downhill, sand traps are rock hard, felt lining under the sand is coming through, no sand to get the club under the ball. Been having an issue with GolfNow, if the course is wide open, why do you advertise for 1 player, I don’t like playing alone but since it said 1 player I assumed I was a fourth guy. Anyway, no starter for at least 20 minutes groups are going out in 2 , had to wait on every hole , there was a 3 group backup on a par 3, guy and woman in front hitting 5 balls but instead of the rangers doing something about that, they tell us don’t drive carts neat tee boxes which are 100 feet from the path and turn around and leave. Luckily I got a deal for $57 regular rates are $71 I have a course in my backyard I could have played but I drove an hour each way. I wouldn’t pay $30 to play here ever again!!
Mr. Romano, thanks for your review - we appreciate the feedback. Sand trap and more renovations are coming in the not-too-distant future. We'll continue to look at our tee sheet and starter policies to make sure we're as efficient as possible, and we'll review what we can do to keep play moving. We'd love to talk to you directly, so please send us a note at info.georgedunne@forestpreservegolf.com. Thanks for playing, and we hope you come back to see us again soon.
Bunkers at just dirt
The course was on great condition and was a pleasure to play. One of the main things that makes this course challenging is it's bunkers. They're everywhere and large. They're normally very challenging and i welcome the challenge but unfortunately there is no same in most of the bunkers and it's a guessing game as to how to play each holes bunkers because one is straight dirt and the next has an inch of sand but you can't really tell. These bunkers need sand. I was told they well be fixing them in the fall but we shall see. Other than that the fairways were on great shape and so were the greens.
Fix your bunkers!!!
Overall the course is in great shape but the bunkers are the worst I’ve ever experienced anywhere. There’s no sand and it’s rock hard dried mud so it’s like hitting off concrete which is really bad because this course has a lot of sand traps.
Hidden gem
A well kept course run by local park district. Challenging layout. Fast but true greens and some very difficult tee shots over water on a few holes. Fun course, not over priced. Bit of a hike depending on where you live in Chicagoland area.
Put real sand in the bunkers EOM
This one of the best courses if you would put real sand in the bunkers. Otherwise the value is not there.
I have been asking myself why I hadn’t been back to play the course since the first time I played it 10 years ago. Great public course for the price. I plan to play there more often going forward.
Good course
Bunker and cart path needs work but other than that, a solid course
Course operator here. Thanks for the review, and we appreciate you joining us for a round. Please know that George Dunne and other Forest Preserve Golf courses are slated for major improvements this season and into the future. We're aware of the bunker situation at George Dunne and it's a top priority. This may take a little time, but we're committed to doing this right for our customers.
