George W Dunne National Golf Course

Challenging course with lots of bunkers and fast greens bring your A game

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 .

Nice course design no 2 holes next to each other. Perfect weather day so course was I great condition

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!

If you finish in 5 hours consider that a fast round.

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!

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.

Very pretty long course that is a great deal for the price. Note to course please add more relief stations for a female players.

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.

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.

George DunneForest Preserve National and Ravisloe are the two best public golf courses in the south and southwest suburbs of Chicago. George Dunne is a great layout that is a challenge and fun from any of the tees. Pick your tee box wisely. No shame in moving up. You’ll use every club in your bag and some in new ways. A real pleasure to play.

As usual, the course was in excellent condition. Pace of play was good. The staff was friendly and helpful as usual. Great place to play. Recommend it to anyone looking for a challenging experience.

It had rained a couple days before the round so we hoped it would be dry, sadly it wasn’t and therefore cart paths only. Course was running 10-15 minutes behind to tee off and it only got worse from there. The round ended up being about 5.5 hours.

The course for being as wet as it was, did have nice greens and the fairways were mostly in good shape. Nice job by the grounds crew, poor job by the tee time scheduler.

Good course layout unfortunately jammed into 8 min tee times. Couldn’t push the group in front while we were continually hit into all round. No ones fault felt like a 10+ group logjam, 5 behind us and 5 in front. 11 is super cool with 2 lakes to avoid but kinda bummed I won’t try it again. I couldnt stomach burning another 5+ hours to walk collectively as a course in a death march.

This is still a premier course despute some hiccups. This is a championship layout. Fairways and greens are 5 stars. Bunkers are improving as the front nine are fine. Back nine are not very good. I played as a single at 652 am. Flew in an hour ten. But back was slow due to the policy of letting players play 9 holes at 6 am. Otherwise this was a great morning.
