George W Dunne National Golf Course

George Dunne is a really enjoyable and entertaining course to play. Each hole is unique and has its own character. Expect to see tons of wildlife as this course weaves in and out of a lush forest preserve area.

Only downside is they pack em in like sardines here. With my 115pm tee time on a Friday, we were delayed to a 2pm start. Then the round took a 5 hour 45 min pace. Really quite unacceptable.

This course is a treat to play, but beware this round wil take an extra few hours out of your day ...

I love playing here. The staff is great, the course condition superb, and the there are enough challenging holes to keep me on my toes! It's but a thirty-so minute drive from downtown Chicago, where I live, and well-worth the drive. My wife and I really enjoy the wildlife we see on the course. We saw a coyote strolling across a few fairways yesterday. Such a treat! If you have yet to play George Dunne, give it a go...but be prepared to be challenged, particularly on the back nine!

This was the first time I played this course in 5+ years, and I have to say that it has held up well for all the traffic it gets. This is a busy public course. My buddy and I were put into a foursome, with the course being busy for the holiday weeekend. The course was in good condition considering all the rain we had for the previous few days, so there were sand traps and fairways with standing water. With all that said, I enjoyed the course!.. It's plenty long from the tips with plenty enough difficulty for experienced players, and the greens are in good shape. Ball mark repairs can be improved by players.
Beverage cart girls were fantastic with the drinks. Bring BUG spray!

Great track for a great price. Greens were fairly slow. Pace of play was super slow. 5 hours.

Everything was as expected. There were no hitches in the process from purchasing the tee time to paying at the golf course.

Course was very wet (cart path only) so we got a little more exercise. Moved up to the white tees as the ball would not roll and that was a good idea.
I think most golfers would enjoy the course and so do the deer Oh, there beer comes in 24oz cans so be warned

Very nice course but GD crams foursomes on the course which pratically guarantees bckups. It t [k 3 hours to play front 9 on Saturday

Course was in excellent condition and well maintained even with heavy rains the previous day

The course has great scenery. It's well maintained. There are a lot of huge bunkers protecting the greens. Some very nice water holes. Any shots that stray from the fairway are lost for good as each hole is surrounded by forest and thick fescue. I'm guessing getting stuck in the sand and losing balls in the fescue slows down play. The round was slow. We kept pace with the foursome in front of us and the cart still said we were 20 minutes behind. Concessions are way expensive. Staff is very friendly. The facilities and pro shop are very nice. I would play again but maybe not on the weekend since it seemed so busy and slow.

Overall this course is very good and fun to play at..I play here all the time. And my friends like playing here too. The finishing holes have some teeth and can cause you a few strokes if not played smartly.

Nice course but slow tee time was 20min late because they were holding groups because all carts were in use on the course. Played from 4pm to 8 pm and only got 14 holes completed. I have tried to pay here several times and it seems that 5 plus hour rounds are typical ouch not playing here again unless it is te crack of dawn

Absolutely love this course! It's quite challenging due to a variety of factors including long carries, water, fairway and green side bunkers, and then you add in the length of the course. I've never played from the tips, but playing from gold is still a challenge. The course is kept up in great condition and the staff is friendly and accommodating. It's an added bonus that you can pay the cart girl with a credit card. If you want to challenge yourself, play this course.

They booked tee times 5 minutes apart from each other which resulted in a round that surpassed 5 and a half hours. I understand they're trying to make money, but you're not going to get repeat business if the round is one of the slowest I've ever encountered.

The course was in great condition. It poured for about 20 min during our round and the course drained pretty well. Great course for walkers. Challenging for both the novice and advanced players. Staff are super friendly in the bar/restaurant area. Takes awhile for check in prior to play (not sure why).

The course was in very good shape but the only thing that bother the heck out of me is the tee boxes are not level. Sometimes you are teeing off uphill or the ball is above your feet. There is no reason for a tee box not to be level.

Top notch course. Very challenging. Always in great shape

If you like 5+ hour rounds then this is the course for you. My last round took 5h20m on a Monday afternoon. After the round I went to the pro shop to complain and was told "that's what it's like sometimes". This course does absolutely nothing to improve pace of play, I did not see one ranger or Marshall on the course, however the beverage cart came by at least 4 times. So George Dunne is happy to take its patrons' money in concessions, but won't send out employees to make sure that customers are actually having a good experience on their course. If it takes 5h20m to play a round on a Monday, it's terrifying to think what it would take on a Saturday. This was really the last straw for me with this course, I will not be back.

the course was nice with some hard pan areas, the greens were bumpy . We were not told about this before the round started , every putt was bouncing to the hole

Great design of course. Unfortunately, the greens had been aerated 4 or 5 days before and were very bumpy. The sand traps were not in great shape either. Also, when I went in to the pro shop to pay, they had no record of my Golfnow reservation. Luckily the course was uncrowded and they gave me the Golfnow rate I was quoted. It could have been a problem if they were overbooked.

Played on 4/16 and it's Chicago so weather was spotty. That aside, course was in excellent condition for early in the season, greens were solid and smooth. A bit slow but to be expected. The layout is great and really allows golfers to choose their challenge as the course does a great job of making each set of tees respectively more or less difficult. I played the whites on this day as I was playing with some buddies and if you're a 10 handicapper or less, you shouldn't be here. With that said, unless you're a 4-5 handicapper or better, avoid the tips. I usually play the tips and it's a tough course from back there. Great, fair layout and always one of my favorites in the metro area.
