Empty front 9, crowded back 9

Very tough greens, tons of slope. Hilly fairways with trees lining the sides - need to not only hit straight but place your drives into slopes. Long par 3's, uphill greens with blind shots. #9 had water about ~230 up that you couldn't see from the tee box. Not a lot of doglegs.

Course was empty on the front 9 - no one booked ahead of us for 90 minutes. We were able to finish in 1 hour 30 minutes. Got to hole 10 and there was a 3 group wait to tee off. Back 9 took over 3 hours. Lots of high handicap older golfers who can barely hit the ball 100 yards.

Understaffed - staff was way overworked. No one present at the counter for check in. No one present at the bar at the turn. Kids were running around between cart duty, check in duty, and kitchen/bar duty.

No cart paths and the few dirt paths needed repair. Greens were in terrific condition, just a ton of slope. Several holes where my approach landed on the green and the slope took it to the other side or off the green. A few tee boxes had very little grass - hard to grow in the shade on a par 3. No cart GPS. Some signs should be added to tell golfers where #1 and #10 tee boxes are.

It's OK, but not going to make it into our weekly rotation of courses.

Exceeded Our Expectations

We used a Group Golfer coupon and the value for our money was excellent. Course layout is good and I found the course itself to be somewhat challenging. I wouldn't mind walking this course someday as it would be awesome exercise, there is a reason it is called Dunham HILLS!

Friendliest staff around

Seriously, this course has exceptional service- bartenders, cart girls, pro shop staff- they are always happy to talk to you and help you, even just have a conversation. I have never had a bad experience with staff here. A little pricey but worth it- beautiful and scenic course that’s usually not too crowded. Love this course and it’s staff, you can’t go wrong going here.

Down The Tubes

Advertised new greens-they are sod! Shaggy, bumpy, sloppy. Raised their rates as well-entire group left without finishing our round. Pace of play was awful, terrible service in grill room, clueless staffing-This used to be a premier golf course that has really gone downhill. I would NEVER play here again. There is an attitude here that they just don't care-They should sell this course to someone who knows what they are doing. Wasted a perfectly beautiful day here.

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.

Back nine closed

Did not know only front nine open for play. Staff said back nine would open during weekend. So we played front nine twice. We were a twosome and played pretty fast.

dont Play here.

This course should not be on GolfNow.com. Never saw anything on that site about the back 9 greens being in really poor shape. Had I
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

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.

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!

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.
