White Pines Golf Course in Swanton takes its name from the dense stands of trees that line the fairways. You'll find more than a thousand pines sprinkled throughout the course. Situated just 20 minutes southwest of the Toledo International Airport, it has been ranked as one of the 10 best golf courses in the Toledo area. The layout features large, undulating greens and two of the area's largest waste bunkers. It's a tough but fair test with front tees that are gentle enough for beginners and championship tees formidable enough for avid golfers. It's a seemingly short course at 6,850 yards but don't let the scorecard fool you, this challenging layout plays much longer. In addition to the golf course, White Pines also has a driving range available as well as a practice green with a sand trap.

Out of the way, but...

This course is the best value in northwest Ohio. The family that runs the course is highly attentive and could not be more friendly. It’s always a pleasant experience.

Great condition considering the rainy spring

We made a teetime the night before due to a cancellation because of conditions on at another area golf course. To be honest, with all the rain this spring, White Pines is in great shape! Their fairways are well-maintained and the course always brings a challenge!

Challenging but fair...course in great shape!

Played White Pines for the third time this year and all three times I was impressed with this course. Very well maintained fairways and rough. Greens are very true and fast and a few of them are a real challenge due to the tiered levels and quickness. You’ll need plenty of spin on the ball to hold the green on most approaches but the greens are still soft enough to be fair. Rough is cut short enough to find your ball and the tall grass hazards must be avoided. GolfNow hot deal rates are very cheap and well worth it. Can’t wait to play again next year!

Always a good play

I don't live close to this course(40mi.) but play it at least six times a season. Always worth the drive. Fairways and greens are in great shape. The only problem on this day was the number of single players that we let play through.

Great Day...Great Golf

Had to make an adjustment in our travels and we ended up choosing this course to play. It is out in the country and a fun course to play. Some good holes to score on. The cost was really good using Golf Now and a hot deal coupon.

It has some very challenging holes!

The course is always in excellent shape, we play either on Saturdays or Sundays every week. I recommend to play at White Pines, Great friendly staff.Always willing to help and talk with everybody , they make you feel like your part of them. The young people they hire to help do different things greet you, run the beverage cart and always have brats and burgers cooking on the weekends. Try them out its a fun day always at white pines.

This is an excellent layout

I have the pleasure of scheduling play for a travel group that focuses on the Toledo area and southern Michigan. We always have an excellent turnout whenever I schedule White Pines. I think this says a lot for this course. People just enjoy playing here.

Nice conditions

The fairways are nice and the rough is thick. The greens have lots of undulations and are fun. The greens are not receptive to shots and frankly benefit a player who bounces it up. Still the combination of price and conditions is excellent.

One of the Best Courses in the Toledo Area

White Pines, is always a good place, to golf. Karen, Ed, and their staff, are always friendly. I play, all the courses in the Toledo area, and White pines, is in the best shape, all of the time. While golf participation, has declined, the manangement of most golf courses in our area, puts no money into, their courses, but not White Pines. The course, has a good layout, nice practice area, range, and when the outside grill is open, some of the Best hamburgers around. Karen and Ed, keep up, the fantastic work, on the manangement of your golf course.

Nice Course

Tee times were a bit behind because of frost delay, nobody’s fault there, the greens were fast and the course was well maintained. Very nice course and will definitely be back.
