White Hawk Country Club - Gray Hawk Nine
About
Located just an hour south of downtown Chicago, White Hawk Country Club offers 36 holes of championship golf. The holes are divided into four nines called Red Hawk, Grey Hawk, Black Hawk, and Silver Hawk. The Grey Hawk nine was one of the first nines built back when it was just an 18-hole golf course. It's the second longest of all the nines at 3,535 yards from the back tees, but it's still much shorter than the 3,846-yard Silver Hawk Course, which is White Hawk's toughest layout. Grey Hawk has a traditional links-style layout with strategically placed bunkers and water hazards coming into play throughout. In addition to the four golf courses, White Hawk also has a practice facility with a driving range that has target greens and a short game area with a bunker.

Great Track Pace of Play was superb
Played Sunday afternoon @ 1:45. Finished 18 @ 5:03 absolutely flew around the course. Didn't wait on a hole until 17/18. Great value for a course in really good shape.. I'll be back frequently.
Traveling home course
I was traveling and found this course, made a tee time with a great rate (Golf Pass), I played the Grey and Silver courses and enjoyed the challenge. Good thing I was paired with a local to guide me around thru the blind shots. I will definitely be back to play next time I'm in the area. Hopefully I'll get to try the other courses or all 4 in a day would be great.
Awesome course
Wow gorgeous and difficult at times. Being your A game
Great course
Well maintained and I expected it to be pretty full but it wasn’t. Made for a great pace. Our 3-some finished in 3:20. WH is always in great shape. Reasonable rates.
Bring sunscreen and great strategy
Played the Black the Silver combo on a humid partly sunny day. The UVs were for real so prepare accordingly. There were at least 4 extremely challenging holes that must be thought through carefully ( unless you have an endless supply of balls and patience of a saint). Pace was good ahead of us , but experience a few shadow plyers pressing us from behind. It was still a great day!
Challenging but enjoyable
We played the Black and Silver courses. Black was challenging but if you made good golf shots, you could score well. The Silver course was exceptionally challenging, especially for first time playing it. Most of the hole contain marshy areas you have to hit over either off the tee or your approach shot, sometimes both. Having experience may make the course easier.
If you book through golf now you will end up on silver
They have 36 holes. It was a 27 and eventually they added the silver and 9 more. I have played out there 3 times and each time I got the same Red to Silver. You cannot get in the other two with the island green. Just know that when you book.
