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.

Nice layout and course

Only a 4 star review due to lack of monitoring the course. Stuck behind a twosome with 1 set of clubs. They took multiple shots off the tee barely reaching 175 on there tee shots. They would then wait for the green to clear from 250. We caught them on a par 3 and asked them to pick up the pace. They did not and our round was just over 5 hours. The starter should have shut them down with 1 set of clubs. Our tee time was around 11 on Silver

Didn’t honor GolfNow Rate

Everything was ok except the course didn’t honor the rate I signed up for in the GolfNow app. I made the tee time for 2 @ $77/person plus the convenience fee of $4.98. When we checked in the golf pro charged $82/golfer. Since we didn’t pay through the app there was really nothing we could do except either pay or not play. Shouldn’t advertise a rate and then expect to pay something higher at the course when checking in.

Blackhawk to Silverhawk

Course was in really good shape despite the current drought we're in. Greens were pretty quick but receptive. Pace of play was slower than normal, womens league was finishing up, so it only lasted for two holes after that smooth sailing. Always a good time at Whitehawk.

Great course, great condition.

This course never fails to impress. Played today with my son and my 3 year old grandson. Greens were perfect. Fast but held well. The day was extra special as my son made his first hole in one. Number three on red hawk. The course staff were excellent and even gave him a plaque of the hole he made it on. Thank you for a special day. We’ll be back soon.

White Hawk (Grey to Silver)

Yesterday I played White Hawk (Grey to Silver) with 3 other friends. I have played both nines previously this year and they are still in great shape. The greens rolled very nicely. The staff is always friendly and professional. Overall, the entire experience was great except for one instance. Before I go any further, I’m NOT going to say I will never be back because I will play here again. I always enjoy playing here no matter what nines I play. I know we live in a world of entitlement and when you have a membership to a course you want to play as much golf as possible. But when you cut in front of a group, when you clearly saw us and with two holes left to go, have the common sense and courtesy to play fast so you are not holding “regular” customers up. Yes, they were members because they have their own customized carts. I don’t expect the course to say anything to members because heaven forbid you hurt their feelings. It just ruined an otherwise great day. I will be back.

Nice course nice people

Very large with 4 separate nine hole course. We did Grey and Silver. We thought it was challenging off the tee and hole

Placements. It was fun and in good shape considering it’s mid April. Can’t wait to comeback mid summer when the course has all its landscaping.

Grey / Silver

We played the Grey to Silver nines, at White Hawk, on 4/14/23. It’s been a while since I’ve last played the Silver course and I have to say they made one major improvement, that I think will help others play this nine more often. They cut down the cattails where you can see the routing of holes and see your landing zones. Overall, both nines were in excellent shape considering this early in the year. The greens rolled nice. The entire staff was friendly. I will be back.
