Course has excellent layout. Some very fun holes to play. The condition was a little rough due to heavy rains. Will probably go back in summer.

It was a wonderful golf day

The course is great.

Very nice layout a great challenge

cart are decent shape.

Fairways and greens very nice.

Course is huge so many options on shot placement

Only down side bunkers suffer from typical bunker issues these days and they have a lot of them.

Maintain or remove your bunkers guys.

Will play again and again at this course.

Staff was very friendly and helpful

Slow Pace and Bad Sand Traps

I do love this course for the challenge and location but the sand traps need serious work and with the extremely slow pace for late on a Sunday we should have seen a ranger more than once trying to speed things up.

The pro shop staff is great but the starter needs to get a clue

We understand that pace of play on Sunday was a little slow this past weekend. Having to be cart path only due to the extreme rainfall really did slow us down. It was a beautiful day and there were a lot of rounds on the books, believe me when I say we will do everything within our power to move rounds along. Give us another try, I am confident the rounds will be smoother next time around.

Good day.

Course was wet due to previous rain. Greens were slower than usual. Spring golf in Chicago land.. generally on good shape. Bunkers need sand.

Busy day at a nice course

Unbeknownst to us, today was "customer appreciation day" at the Dunne, so 18 holes with cart was only $19 for anyone. No wonder the GolfNow hot deal was at $16 - which is lower than I have seen it at this course. That coupled with a 1 1/2 hour frost delay at the start of the day, really had our 12:20 start pushed back, and a very full golf course. We started just before 1:00 and finished just before 6:00, so a 5-hour round, plus the delay meant we spent 6 full hours at the course - more than expected. Course can't be faulted for frost, however, and I understand that you have to push the golfers out as quick as you can so it will be busy. As always, course in great shape except for sand traps on a number of holes. Green not fully recovered from aeration, but putted fairly well anyway. So can't complain too much. You can always expect at least a 4 1/2 hour at George Dunne, it just takes a while. The course is challenging but fair. It helps to play the proper tees for your handicap, or it makes for a really long and frustrating day.

Frost delays are always a pain. Pace of play is a big item on our list this year and we will do everything in our power to keep the pace up. I appreciate all the nice things you said about the course and keep an eye out for more customer appreciation events in the near future
