Good golf course
This course very good .'ll hopefully as soon as possible replay this course. Fairway condition is very good and staff is very friendly. So this course improve your skills
Poor customer service
I'm sure that golf outings help the bottom line of any golf facility, but to have one on a Saturday afternoon when most regular golfers can fit in a round of golf, is inconsiderate to the average golfer.
Great layout. Terrible conditions
There were holes in the fairway of just mud where all the grass washed away from puddles sitting to long and the bunkers had no sand, never takes.
Course coming back into shape but nothing like it was when it opened. Pace of play was good after a late start
Sand Traps Unplayable
Fairways and green were ok but the sand traps were not raked and nobody was even working on them. There was minimal rain yesterday and some had puddles in them....but there is a lot of sand on this course and it would have been nice if one of them was ready for play....no, not one was ready......and no effort by this course to remedy. Highly recommend that out find another course to play....this one is not ready to play golf on.....too bad because the layout is pretty good......it will be a long time before I waste my money here again.
Terrific course and staff. Blow up a few of the traps and put sand in them and it.would be great
George W. Dunne - Beautiful Experience
This was my 1st time playing George Dunne. It is a beautiful course in great condition. Bring your "Lawrence of Arabia Garb" as it has 160 sand traps, so you may be in the desert a lot. I only hit 3 of them, but they are loaded with plentiful amounts of sand making it easy to get out versus other courses that do not restock their traps with ample or any sand. The last two holes are challenging in particular as the 155 yard 17th hole and the 18th par 4 are over water and the chance of going for a swim or hitting a sand trap increase. The staff is great and very welcoming to this beautiful long and prestigious course. You will love it!
Great day of golf for $25! Course conditions were great: superb fairways, fast greens, sand ok. Pace of play could've been regulated better by the starter, but overall a wonderful and enjoyable round of golf.
Ruined by logjams
Nice layout, good condiion. Ruined by the constant waiting. Its always this way, just played a Tuesday morning round. 4.75 hours like always.
Challenging Course
I have played George Dunne many times over my golf career and it remains challenging as ever. The sand traps have finally been repaired and the course plays as it was intended. I do miss the GPS systems in the cart that made navigating the course a lot easier. George Dunne is a long course with many challenges along the way. Pace of play has been a problem with rounds regularly running around 4.5-5 hours, however, definitely still worth the time and money.
Womens Golf Clinic
Don't get roped into the free Womens Golf Clinic. We had to listen to them talk for over 1 1/2 hours before we even could swing a golf club. We ended up leaving after the 1 1/2 hours. There was plenty of open spaces at the driving range but the pro only allowed usage of five spots for all 21 women. There were other women who also left and just golfed the course.
George Dunne Nice Layout Showing Its Age
We teed off on time and the pace of play was good, we finished in 4 hours and 15 minutes. Driving range was hit from mats, not surprising for a Cook County run course. I used to play this track back in it's glory days when it's name was Forest Preserve National and was the flagship of all Cook County courses on par with very high end tracks. I still like the layout as a whole, and still hate the 18th. If you can't blow it over the lake or hit a perfect hook the landing area is minimal and you will most likely go thru the fairway into the ruff and be blocked out by trees. As stated in the title the course is showing its age. Many repair spots in fairways, washout areas from wet rainy spring weather in the roughs (18 rough) and several tee boxes require leveling. The clubhouse staff was friendly as was the starter. I did have two instances of people who were playing other holes simply play my ball, not sure what's up with this. One my ball was in my holes rough maybe 20 feet off the fairway and the second in the middle of my fairway. Both times we watched in dismay and said I think that guy just hit your/my ball!! All in all we had an enjoyable round. Considering price, 3:00pm tee time and fast pace of play, I recommend you give it a try.
How much does sand cost?
In most cases, bunkers are filled with sand. At Geo. Dunne, they must have forgotten. This course could be spectacular, but if Cook County continues to manage this place, it is destined to fall further into ruin.
Frustration
Great track but ridiculously slow! 5.5 hour round!
Stop putting so many people on the golf course Billy Casper!!! We were one of 4 twosomes in a row!
All four groups on the par 5's at the same time......Nice!
I wont be be back!
Fun course
Challenging holes. Lots of water but still a fun place to play that doesn't break the bank. Course was in really good condition and not too crowded for a Saturday afternoon.
Course also has driving range and nice putting area.
