George W Dunne National Golf Course

I really like the Course layout. I would rate George Dunne 5 stars if...And a big If..the bunkers were even playable. Unfortunately 90 percent were not playable. I realize it costs big money to maintain that many bunkers but you have to figure something out. Remove some? Would be fantastic if they could figure out that Major issue!

Did not play due frost delay of 1:30 hrs. Made the tee time so that we could play before work. Hoping to get a credit from golf pass for a future round. Went on the website but couldn’t live chat with anyone.

Played early Saturday- not sure why only part of green was cut. Very deceiving visually and tough putting through dew / non dew

Such a great, challenging layout

Sand traps are in desperatel need of sand

Cart paths in severe disrepair

Cart path only because of wet conditions. I couldn't play. Knees can't handle CPO

The fairways and roughs were in great condition. The greens were in good condition. The sand traps were simply awful. If you don't want to maintain them, take them out. Was like hitting off of blacktop.

the course as usual is wonderful.

Not the fault of the course, but players don't fix divots on greens, I repaired mine and 2 more almost every green.

Only bad thing... the Bunkers are unplayable. many had standing water, those did not, had little to no sand and were rock hard.

but overall a wonderful layout, challenging and very good condition

Most forest preserve courses are quite barebones in their layouts. George Dunne National is quite a good layout with very good course maintenance when it comes to the greens, fairways, rough, and tees. The water zones and bunkers though are quite rough. However, those elements are not the end all be all for me.

When you can though pay close to if not less than what I paid to play here on a weekend afternoon time (1pm for $58) at a course like Mount Prospect, Highlands of Elgin, or McKray, I do wonder if George Dunne National might be a bit overpriced. I would say if you live close by, absolutely give this course a shot. However if you are having to drive +45 minutes to get here and are around the courses I named above, it's a bit hard to recommend George Dunne National over those courses especially if you are wanting to ride in a cart.

Overall, course in great shape, tease, fairways, and greens were great. The sand traps were terrible, no sand. And if you hit it in the sand trap, you just walked in and picked it up and put it on the grass.

Traps were often hard dirt. They were the only disappointment.

the course was in good shape for having no rain in the area for weeks always fun
