Golfer Reviews
Wonderful !
This is a wonderful golf course. Most fairways are wide open and slightly rolling. Almost every hole has guarded greens which make approaches difficult. Tons of bunkers. Sometimes both left and right of the green. Bundle that with sloping greens and it plays very challenging from 100 yards in. Off the tee there's trouble in lots of places although not in all. Most of the tee shots were hard to miss fairways.
Fairways were wet as the morning had seen heavy rain, Greens were dried up already despite that.
George Dunne in the rain
Our threesome played George Dunne the morning of a big rainstorm. The weather forecast was dire but we were able to play the nearly empty course for 9 holes before the rains came. The course was in good shape and is the crown jewel of the Cook County Forest Preserve courses.
Great forest preserve cousre
Very nice layout you don't really see other holes as it winds though forest. Lots of water holes lots of doglegs . Greens are in nice condition . Course gets ALOT of play so maintenance is done in early morning or late at night. Sand traps are the problem but they put a lot of money into them already .Last 2 finishing holes will trill you! Lots of wild life. Great design!
George Dunnr e
Need a nicer clubhouse. No bar area to relax in after golfing . TV picture was terrible.
Slow and Wet
We had a foursome ahead of us that was very slow. There were no rangers on the course to help speed things up. The course was soaked after some heavy rain for the past few days which was expected but the greens were fertilized and it collected on your ball when putting which made it difficult to play. Cart path only was expected due to wettness. Will give it another try next summer on a dryer day.
Great Day on Great Course
Played with a group that has not played the course in years. We found the greens to be in great shape and the every hole a unique challenge. The pace of play was slow during the first nine, and we had to wait on every shot, but picked up on the back and we were done in a respectable 4 and 1/5 hours. This course is a ride for Chicago North siders, but worth the drive.
sand traps need work
Everything was okey, except the sand traps, needs a lot of
Amazing course , but very long
Can't wait to go back!! Course was in great shape and very challenging .
excellent
Dunne is like country club golf! the course has everything lots of water, plenty of bunkers.
Soggy
We played after a lot of rain so the course was a bit wet and sand had been washed out of the faces of the bunkers. Not much you can do about that. I felt the course was in good shape overall. Very nice layout. Not overly difficult. Pace of play was good. I dont know if its worth the full price, but definitely worth it with a hot deal.
Good course with well placed traps
Course isn't overly challenging but will test your skills. The many sand traps could have been in better shape, although area has had frequent heavy rains. All in all course was in good shape. Will play again.
Nice parkland layout
Was a great course before the county took it over and ran it down. Only came back to play after many many years after being told that they cleaned up the course. We were only able to play 9 holes due to the weather. Yet the weather might of been a blessing in disguise after the course shoved 2 senior leagues in front of our tee time. Teed off 20 mins. late due to this and played the front nine in 2 1/2 hours + .
The course was in decent shape even with the amount of recent rain. Only complaint was not one of their bunkers were playable, nor did they seem to even to have attempted to be made playable.
Actually love the layout but, at $65 weekday rate I will take my golf elsewhere.
Great Local Course
Great Local course. Wouldn't pay over the $55 golf now price though. Too many people on the course. Very crowded.
Very well kept and quite challenging. A lot of sand and water but manageable.
Highly recommended but not if you don't like to wait.
Dunne needs work
This is usually an excellent course to play with lots of challenges. However this time the fairways were in poor condition and several sand traps are under reconstruction. But the worst part was that we were put out immediately behind a league which played very slowly. Although we started at 4:05 on a wednesday, we only finished about 13 holes by 8pm. Pace of play was very bad for a weekday. There should have been some warning of the league play on the reservation.
Sand Traps
Some of those sand traps were terrible looking which took away some of the beauty of that course.
Great course with really nice views.
As a biginner, this was a difficult course for me to manage. More hazards to overcome and long par 5s
Nice course...SLOW play
It was a Thursday evening. Had 4:52pm tee time. Figured we could possibly get in 18. As soon as I get there, pay for it, and sign in, I find out pace of play is slow (over 5 hours)...AND no carts. I had to wait for a cart! Got one by my tee time luckily, but play was soooo slow, we only got in 12 holes. Course is one I've always liked, condition was decent. Not sure I can complain considering it was only $20, but for the same amount, I could have booked another course to play where I would have gotten in 18.
