About
Dunham Hills Golf Club is situated amidst rolling hills and mature trees. The course is a demanding, but fun test of your skills. The topography presents challenging elevation changes throughout the course but accurate shots will be rewarded with level lies. The undulating fairways and lightning fast greens provide a variety of different shot options that will please the skilled shot-maker. Be prepared to utilize every club in your bag. Accuracy is essential on every hole in order to avoid the unpleasant lies that lurk beneath the hardwoods and pines but the trick is to keep the ball on the fairway. The layout opens with a tree-lined par 4 that is representative of the entire golf course. This tricky hole features a single bunker placed in front of a green that is sloped left to right.

most of back 9 regular greens were not availble for play
Not informed that the back nine had most of their greens under repair. Par 3's were half regular distance. GPS on par 4's were generally off by 30-40 yards approaching the green vs make shift greens cut ou off the fairway.
Payment
I booked Golf Now and it showed the Due at Course for 2 player is $62.7 , but the staff charged us $70.
No chance to aware it and paid, unfortunately.

Played her before, very nice corse. First time this year. 8 am tee off time. No coffee, on back 9 eight of the holes had no grass on them. Very disappointed for 35.00. Will check it out next year before I make a tee time

Known this I would have gone somewhere else 3 of my group traveled over an hour to play front 9 was fine. Back 9 was terrible. When we complained the pro shop just smirked at me and said it was posted on the GolfNow web site. I won’t be back. Mike T

Greens under repair on the back 9
Dunham Hills is challenging because of the hilly terrain. The front nine was in great condition. The greens on the back nine were under repair, which was disappointing. I still enjoyed the round and the price was right!

Dunham Hills
It is a beautiful old golf course with lots of elevation changes. The front 9 greens were perfect the back 9 greens had no grass and smelled sour. They are having serious issues with the greens on the back.

Course took 6 hours to golf 18 with a t time. Let people cut in front st the turn and share a bag. Employees at the course did nothing to speed up pace and nothing when groups cut the turn. Will not golf here again until they learn how to treat seasoned golfers.
Hello. Thanks for the review. We see you rated the course 1-star. We take single star feedback very seriously at our course. Please reach out to our team in the golf shop. Thank you for playing Dunham Hills.

Unfortunate Back Greens
This is a great course with fun holes and welcoming staff. Unfortunately, the back greens are nearly unplayable. I read this in a review here and was hoping they weren't that poor, but it's pretty bad- you could almost slip on them as there is not grass. The rest of the course is beautiful and in wonderful condition- I hope the greens can be salvaged by the end of the year as I would like a shot at those holes.

Was a hidden gem
I’ve always referred to this course as the best course around for the money. Unfortunately, I can’t say that anymore as almost all of the greens on the back 9 are gone. I don’t know if it was winter damage or the over abundance of rain this year but they have no grass and it’s like putting on cement. i hope they get them back in the shape and playable..

Greens were dead
There was absolutely zero grass on the back 9 greens. Grass was completely dead and balls were rolling on hard dirt, painted green. The cart girl said that someone mixed the wrong chemicals for the green fertilizer and it killed the grass. Was not informed of this before paying for grass, no discount either.

Great Course Trouble With Greens
Dunham Hills is one of my favourite places to play golf. The greens at Dunham are usually extremely quick and roll really well. The adage "do not hit it past the pin" applies to Dunham 100%. Unfortunately it seems the greens at Dunham have been severely impacted whether by the weather or some other factor I am not sure but they simply are not in good shape and it appeared that it may be some time before they are back to Dunham's norm which is terrific.
Hi, Doug. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Dunham Hills. We hope to see you again in the future.
Ranger and pace of play
My friend and I breezed through the front nine in an 1hr 15 min. Then we caught up to 2 foursomes on the back nine who were mingling with the ranger, THAT stopped us dead in our tracks. On 12 tee box we noticed there was no groups in front of the 2 foursomes, and yet the ranger did nothing to speed up the pace of play... (3hrs 15 min to complete the back nine...)

Double Bogie
Played here last year, much better experience. Back nine greens are totally fried, unplayable. Golf course poorly marked, have to seek out overgrown sprinkler heads with hard to read yardage tags. First three or four holes are shooting gallery, bring a helmet. Grill room dysfunctional, offered greasy hot dogs and day old sandwiches. Was told they don't offer food if there is a wedding that day? Priority here is pushing overpriced drinks and beers. Way out of line with surrounding courses. This course is not worth $49.00 by any stretch of the imagination.
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the future. Thanks for choosing Dunham Hills.
Downhill Slide
Very disappointing round of golf. Course poorly marked, bring your laser. They removed 150 yard posts and the plaques in fairways haven't been painted in years. Pro shop very cluttered and disorganized. They no longer offer any type of food service except hot dogs and bland sandwiches.
Not the Dunham Hills it was just a few years ago. We will be going elsewhere.

Beautiful course
Really enjoyed this course. It was a beautiful day. We enjoyed the hills and the greens. We got a little frustrated about a foursome that wouldn't let the 2 of us play through for the whole 9 holes.
Your feedback is important to us, so thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing @DunhamHillsGolfClub.
