Still early in the season

Course was pretty wet from the raid the week leading up to when I played. A lot of clean and replace happening. Course itself is fun. It isn’t just driver 9i/wedge. You have to think through shots and avoid hazards/OB.

A great layout almost wasted by poor management

This course has a great layout. The Forest Preserve, that owns this and several other courses hires companies to manage the courses. I played this course before and during Billy Casper company managed it. Casper did not do a good job. Currently managed by Indigo. The course conditions have not gotten much better. It is hard for me to drive about 1 hr to go and play this course too often.

If only the traps were better

The course was in great shape except for the traps. The are completely unplayable and they ate everywhere.

Good FP Course

I haven’t played them all but I imagine George Dunne is the best forest preserve course in Cook County. It’s quite challenging with a lot of bunkers. It was ~very wet today and the starter said it’ll probably be cart path only for the rest of the week. However, the greens were in good condition and towards the end of the round were dry and moving fast. I got an early round in and was paired with a nice threesome so pace and partners weren’t an issue. I enjoyed the course - would recommend.

Welcome back! Good times roll.

Haven’t played this course in 7 years since I moved to Myrtle Beach. Great to come back to George Dunne Golf Course! I live in Texas now. Love the course. In excellent condition except for the Sand traps. Staff is great! Loved the starter’s overview. Kudos to Bill the Starter.

Dunne is Done

Course was not very well maintained. To a point where I am shocked that we had to pay full price for a round of 18 holes. Bunkers were in awful shape. More than half the bunkers on the course had standing water in them or were not raked or simply looked like that hadn’t been maintained in weeks. The greens were incredibly slow as well. Very disappointing round to be completely blunt. I likely will not be returning to play again.

Great place!

Course was in tip top shape. Cart path only which slows you down but worth it given the condition of the course. You will be hitting over water and many of the holes have sand on 3 sides of the green.

Back nine fail

Pretty nice course in the south burbs but unfortunately the threesome in front of us was not concerned about pace of play. Numerous shots and looked for balls too long. The back nine took 3 hours after a solid front nine. Pretty solid greens for the lack of rain and very nice personnel on the course. They need to not be as nice and crack the whip!

Good as always sans the bunkers

Love this course and the layout. Tees fairways and greens in good shape. Bunkers always need work. They just can’t keep sand in them.
