Just okay

Had the first tee time of the day, 8am, and the clubhouse employee didn't show up until 8. 2 guys I was playing with were hoping to use the driving range ahead of playing, but that didn't happen. Course is an interesting layout with quite a few blind shots where if you don't know the course it can be easy to make a mistake off the tee.

Course was in decent shape overall. Some random issues here and there, but otherwise okay. Greens were in great shape and rolled pretty true with good speed ,but in typical public course fashion they like to put pins right at the top of slopes. So be ready to 3 putt because of that.

First and last time playing

Course ran out of carts came around asking everyone playing to give up their cart. Course is full of weeds and clover. Mold on greens. No cooler for drinks. Course triple booked tee times took 6 1/2 hours to play 18. They charge $90 to play and have a $20 work ethic. Do not play here. Layout is amazing. Hopefully they sell to boyne and it can get back to being a golf course

Great experience

We had a 10:00am tee time, and the course was wide open. The staff member that assisted us gave us the history of the course, which was great. The course was in excellent condition, and the views are beautiful. Dunmaglas is a hidden gem, and we look forward to playing it in the future.

Poor conditions great views.

This was my first time playing this course and while the course maintenance was not the best you really can’t beat the views. The fairways had some clumps and depending on the hole there was some pretty bad wilting but the greens were awesome. Taking my buddies to this course next time we’re up here.

Tough

Great GC with scenic views, greens in good shape
But we'll protected. Par 3s relatively easy but the rest of the course will eat your lunch. Excellent value situated among very $$$$ GC in Grand Harbor.

Nice Course

You really can't beat the views. Course was in great shape. There are no services at the Course however. There was only one guy working the entire show. It would have been nice to be able to get a beer or even a water at the turn.

Don’t go by First Appearances

Nice course with some interesting holes.
Doesn’t look like much from the road and carts need to be completely updated. However course itself is a fun track to play. Not worth the full asking price, but a nice Golf Now discount makes it a must play.

The Potholes of Dunmaglas

$120 for 18 holes where 7 of the greens were like putting down the streets of Chicago, nothing but pot holes and burn marks. The course itself is a great layout. The tee boxes were somewhat level but not well kept (grass was as long as the 1st cut). Greens were bald from areas of ice damage and general mower damage. Played a similar priced course 24 hours later and the greens were perfect and rolled a 10.2 on the stimpmeter. While I understand that courses always need kept up and winter weather damage exists, you would think the course would compensate players by offering cheaper rates for lackluster course conditions.
