About

Holes 9
Type Semi-Private
Par 36
Length 3535 yards
Slope N/A
Rating N/A

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 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.

The best

I’ve golfed White Hawk many times, the best. Unfortunately I was not able to get there. My daughter had a baby that day and my wife had to be in the delivery room so I had to watch my granddaughter. Definitely worth it!!! Had a boy and he will soon be teeing off.Maybe in a couple of years.

Geofence on carts doesn’t work properly

Played on a Monday afternoon. Pace of play was ok (except for a threesome of teenagers that took four holes before finally letting us play through). The carts have a geo fence that shuts down if you get too close to a tee or green. No problem, except that our cart constantly was beeping and shutting down, even when we were in the middle of the cart path. I called the pro shop on the 4th hole. They said that they’d keep an eye on it and bring out a new cart. Never happened. Played 18 holes with a cart that beeped the entire time. Obviously, not too happy at whatever price.

Got to play this course

Best course to play in Northwest Indiana. There are four nine hole couses each with their own identity. This is a must play to try all four.
