Bunkers are not really bunkers

Zero to little sand in the bunkers. There are several on each hole too. The up keep I assume would be a lot, but the bunkers are absolute garbage with them being basically dirt.

Course is a great layout

A shame that they are not keeping this course in the condition it deserves because it is a great course. Bunkers are bad and grass clippings in many of the fairways. Pace of play slow.

Needs a couple of things

1. How about coolers of water. No more pandemic excuses

2. Sand traps are awful. No sand, no drainage

3. 4.5 hours on carts? No ranger to help move things along

On the other hand, the course is challenging and beautiful

Sand traps need sand

Most traps were in terrible condition. Wouldn’t be an issue, but course has a lot of large traps.

Pace of play was slow, but not terrible.

All but the traps

This is a beautiful layout. Choose the correct tee box and you will use every club in your bag. Greens are smooth and roll true, firm but not rock hard.

As for the traps, just declare ahead of time they are unfair and you get a free drop. There is about 1/2 inch of sand at the most, then just hard clay. Maybe the pro's can play out of them, but I doubt they would even try.

Clubhouse staff was truly a pleasant group of people. Made me feel welcomed and made me feel like they were happy I was there.

Definitely will recommend this course again.

Bunkers need much work

This course is in better shape than it has been in a while, but unfortunately most of the many huge bunkers are in poor shape and at the very least need an infusion of new sand, for the sake of those of us who actually know how to play an explosion shot. I hope this is done sooner rather than later. Pace of play is never fast at Dunne, as it's a really hard course, but it's been better since they changed to 10-minute increments. The layout is second to none, but please, please, please add some sand to the bunkers. It's a real problem.
