White Hawk Country Club - Gray Hawk Nine
Rating Snapshot
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.

Reviews
White Hawk has 4 nine hole courses
While this provides a nice variety of golf moving between each nine hole course can be quite a hike.
White Hawk’s Red & Grey Courses
I played White Hawk’s Red & Grey courses on 10/08/2020. Both nines were in excellent shape from tee to green. There are a variety of holes on both nines and the greens were quick and smooth. All staff was very courteous, from the time we showed up to the time we left. Last time I played here was over a year ago and I’m happy to say the conditions are still in excellent shape. A special shout out to starter Mike C. He was a great help to us from the time we got there to the time we teed off. I will be back.
Proud competitor
Challenges everywhere. Who doesn't like that ? Make sure your bunker play is sound
Great public course
I played it twice and both times it defeated me. I don’t mind because it’s a nice course and it only makes you better. Good luck
Must Play in NWI
By far one of the best courses in NWI. Silver Hawk is HARD and really tests the top golfers. Hole layouts are creative, course conditions were good, scenery was beautiful… not much to complain about, other than all the balls that were lost.
Im no Pro
Went to white Hawk play golf 18 holes we were put on Black and Silver course. They were too difficult to play for a non daily golfer. It wasn't fun playing . We should of been told at purchase or check in that the normal course Red,& white were not available.
I'm very disappointed in White Hawk as i have played there before -never on the Black and Silver! Ill Never again play White Hawk if they put us on the two hardest courses they have.
Very very disappointed .
Goofy layout
We played the red and silver 9 at white hawk. I loved the red 9. It was pretty much perfect. Good variety of holes. Nice par 3s. Fast greens. Thick rough all you’d want. Silver 9 was not great. It plays way too long from the white tees. There is a ton of forced carry off the tee and into the greens. Too much water on the course. I feel like the designer tried too hard on the silver 9 to make it borderline unplayable for the average golfer.
Other than that 9 I think the course is great. Staff is awesome. We had lots of fun
Always in great condition and worth the price!
I have played all 36 holes at White Hawk County Club over the past six years, and I have never been disappointed with the course conditions or the pin locations. White Hawk gives you the private course feel without the initiation fee, monthly dues, food and beverage minimums, or uptight people. If you are looking for a challenging 9 or 18 holes, play White Hawk; you won’t be disappointed.
Ok Option
Played the gray course first and some of the greens were beat up (lots of ball marks and footprints around the pin). Bunkers were hit or miss, some had a lot of powdery sand, some were harder and others were washed out.
Enjoyed the silver course for my second nine, definitely the better 9 and recommend you play it.
