Dirty and rude
Bathrooms were filthy and the staff is beyond rude.
The bathrooms on the actual course were closed and there were no other options than the woods.
Never going back and making sure to let everyone that ever asks me to know that it’s worth the extra money to go to George Dunne. Staff was the main issue.

Course looked and played great. Greens on tip top shape and fairways good. Bunkers well …. What’s with all the dandelions in the rough? How about a mow.
