Great course in great condition

We played just before 8am and knew it would be Carr path only bc the course had just gotten 2.5 inches of rain in the previous 2 days. We were lucky to even be able to play. Course was very wet but extremely playable and greens were great. Great course. Great Day!

Great course design

This is a Dick Nugent Design . He did a great job of using the lay of the land and all the lakes. You really have to think you way around this course not just tee shots but second and third shots too. You don't really ever come by another golf hole or fairway you just wind though the forest . I love this course. It is a cook county forest preserve course so they don't have the budget that I would like them too But Billy Casper golf does a great job of management .

George Dunne does not disapoint

I played this course 3 times in the last 20 years and it continues to be a great and attractive test for golfers of all skills. Very good conditioning and nice to have a beverage cart on a September weekday. I want to play again!

Been a long time since I olayed this course

It has been ages since I played here, really didn’t remember it. If it wasn’t for the traps which were flooded, it would have been a great day. Granted there was a bunch of rain the day before. Staff was great, pace of play good too. I will be back!

Nice course needs sand

I play this course at least 10 times a summer.

My only complaint is the sand traps. There is little drainage after rains and very little sand in most of them. There is a fairway trap that has been “ground under repair for at least 3 years. Other than the traps I really enjoy this course.

Great layout

Great staff and layout. Course in terrible shape. Traps should all be blown up. Someone must have left sprinklers on , casual water everywhere, fairways soaked. This is a perfect example of how bad management can ruin a great track.

We are aware the traps can be an issue, especially when there has been substantial rain. We are working hard to improve the conditions every day. Come on out to the course and give us another shot I think you will really enjoy the round

Challenging Course, Enjoyable Day

With the exception of the sand traps, I felt everything about this course was well done.

The generous tiered greens create some tough putts, but are kept in great shape.

The staff was helpful and pleasant, and rangers kept pace of play going.
