In my regular rotation.

I play George Dunne regularly (3-5 times a year).
I love the course and it’s in great shape except for the sand traps. It’s a shame. I’m often paired with people playing for the first time and I find myself apologizing for the condition of the traps. Everything else about the course is awesome.

Great layout, awful bunkers

I’ve been playing GD since it opened. Love the layout, but the the bunkers are the worst in all of Chicagoland…some don’t even have sand in the them. You’re playing out of dirt. They need to seriously consider improving the condition of the traps because in their current condition, it makes an excellent course below average IMO.

Its a shame

Such a great layout and a beautiful setting. Unfortunately the conditions of the over 100 bunkers makes playing this course a very disappointing experience.

No sand

Never Disappoints

I’ve been playing George Dunne, Forest Preserve National, since it opened. Awesome course but shots are demanding. If you’re a hi handicapper, bring lots of balls. If you’re hitting where you’re looking, the course can be rewarding!
Traps are in need of some sand and TLC, but are playable.
Unfortunately, we got behind 3 groups of new golfers. They we’re struggling which made for a long afternoon/ evening for us.
Our cart ran of battery power on 12. We called the course, at 7:00. Luckily, they picked up the phone and had a new cart out to the 12 tee right after we teed off. Very thankful!

Excellent Course

Besides a bad experience with a fellow golfer (which george dunne had no control over), we had a great time. The course was in immaculate condition. Probably my favorite course on the south side of Chicago for it’s price. My friends and I love playing here. Would highly recommend

George Dunne

The design of this course is fantastic. The problem is the bunkers. I have played it many times and there is really never enough sand in the bunkers. But this time they were like playing out of cement, it was as bad as going into the water and automatic penalty if you landed in these bunkers. I doubt I will play it again this year as a result

First Time Playing

Very nice track

The tee boxes, fairways and greens are in excellent condition. Heavy rain caused the bunkers to be flooded so we took a drop for unplayable.
Shout out to the twosome we were paired with the expressway boys (Dan and Ryan) cool company.
Looking forward to playing again when the traps dry out with my brother (Broderick)
