Terrible sand traps..

I have played this course around five (5) times over the last three years. When I played there on August 13,2024 the course was in excellent condition with the exception of one large thing. The sand traps were simply awful. The worst I have ever witnessed, and they really weren't sand traps at all. There wasn't sand in any of them and the dirt that was in the traps was so hard that you could break you club trying to hit the ball. I don't understand why Cook County owners have not fixed the traps over the last 5 years. Won't play this course again.

Love this course!!!

Beautiful and challenging (sandy😉) course! Great greens and fairways. If you happen to slice into woods- let it go-(loaded with poison ivy). Will definitely play it again!

High Caliber Track

Yeah yeah yeah, the bunkers need work. Guess what…they’re getting renovated in the upcoming offseason. Played yesterday and the course was in the best condition I’ve ever seen it. Fairways were freshly cut and in great shape, and the greens were firm, smooth, and well manicured. Tee boxes were above average and most importantly, level. Pace of play was average, that’s not the management’s fault. I tend to play from the blues here cause I’m content with a 138 slope (as a 5.5 hcp) but if you want to get your game tested and a good work out, play the tips and be humbled. Sand traps were better than they have been in the past, it’s a 50/50 chance your bunker lie will be decent. Top 10 tracks in Chicagoland overall.

On trip up north

Course was in great shape except for the sand traps They were awful due to the fact that they lacked a lot of sand My understanding is that the county runs the course and doesn’t appropriate enough money to fix this ongoing problem But other than that it is a great track and challenging

This is a great golf course

Great course but condition has been let go. About half the bunkers are unplayable and green speed was below normal. A real shame as it is such a great layout.

Always fun

Nice course, not too easy at the same time not too hard either. The bumper could be nicer, other than that great course for the price.

Great Course, traps need work

Played yesterday and the fairways were like carpet. Greens rolled nice, a little slower than normal. Traps, however, suck. They are like concrete and in order to play them, it is necessary to agitate the sand with a rake before hitting a shot.

Heck of a course!

Decided last minute to play a round. My buddy and I chose Dunne. For 37 with a cart it’s a steal. Course was in great shape except bunkers were like concrete with the lack of rain. The rest of the course was tip top. We had pin position 3 out there and I’m certain the greenskeeper is sadistic with his positioning. We loved it. The woods now has a decent selection of ProV1, and Srixon Z Stars for your picking enjoyment. Watch the poison ivy…

We will be back to make our golf ball God donations soon.
