White Hawk Country Club - Black Hawk Nine

Links style well kept course even after a week or more of no rain and high summer heat. 4 nines all slighty different. fairways and greens excellent shape. Greens fast but fair. GPS on cart a great touch and helped pace of play. Houses on holes on 3 of the 9's but set far back so as to be out of play. Multiple sets of tees so fair for all with good space between. Great clubhouse bar restaurant. Best value in greater Chicago area

First time playing this course I was taken back by the up keep of the course. Fairways are like carpet, greens are perfect! unfortunately I have a high handicap, but been improving over the last year and a half. Well this course is not forgiving at all! You might hit what appears a nice drive and never find your ball due to hazards EVERYWHERE! Lots of holes you need to carry over water and/or tall weeds. You will need to lay up on a few holes, I played somewhat agressive and lost a bunch of balls. Fairways are narrow and greens are surrounded by bunkers and/or hazards where if you hit one long your not finding it. Definitely a challenge no matter how good you are.

Played Black/Silver - which came to find out during our round is the more difficult of the group. Course is setup with four 9 hole courses and they mix it up to keep you playing something different every time.

THE COURSE WAS FUN TO PLAY. EVERYONE WAS VERY NICE,GREAT CLUB HOUSE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Whole facility was very nice. Four -9 hole layouts. Interesting design, and well maintained. Well worth $35.

Played as a single and finished in just over 3 hours. Beware if you have to play the Silverhawk course, I have never lost so many golf balls in 9 holes in my life. If you have played golf for a while and want a challenge, this is it.

Golf course was well maintained. Would of liked the pace of play to be a little quicker had to wait on a few holes

I love this course because the greens are pretty well maintained, challenging but not unfair, and with 36 holes there are always options.

Great place to play, good value for price, 4 nines make for lots of variety

Only drawback was the water coolers were not full and it was hot. Lot of forced carries pick your tees wisely.

I love the coarse, however, there ary many spots where you can get in trouble. Greens are fast but true. Lots of traps, however, some could have more sand addded, especially around the greens. Overall good pace of play. I will go back!

All around great day. staff was great and the course is coming alive famously.

Nice clubhouse and pro shop. Course is in great shape and was a very nice experience. It gives you nothing but not so tough to be discouraging. Would love to play it again.

the greens are great also the fairways really great staff

Great course a little bit on the pricey side. Great staff and super fast greens even after it rained.

The greens are fast but receptive. Bunkers need attention. Different types of sand on almost every hole.

Played the Silver & Black courses and they were outstanding. The course was in great shape with big fast greens. Can't wait to play the Grey & Red courses.

price reasonable, course condition great, staff and clubhouse top notch

The course was fairly well maintained for being early in the year. The greens had recently been arrated, so they were bumpy, but they were fast and fairly true otherwise. From the tips this course is long and when it's wet and windy it's even longer. I am a scratch golfer and struggled to shoot par. Tough but like I said before, it's enjoyable.

For those of you not familiar with White Hawk, there are 4 nine hole course; Red, Black, Grey and Silver. They apparently mix and match 2 of them every day to give two distinct sets of 18 holes. I played 36 holes and each set of 9s when I went. Personally, I liked the Black and the Grey the best.

My understanding is that the Silver course is the newest. I found it the most challenging and many of the holes for this 9 are set up for target golf. There are many forced carries from the tee box and a few from the fairway across waste-lands. There is also a lot of water on this 9. If you are a grinder like me and only going to play 18 holes, this is the one you should put at the bottom of your list to play.

With respect to the other sets of 9s, many holes on all courses have houses next to the course. Although I did not play the tips on any of the courses, I noticed that playing them on Grey and Silver could be additionally challenging with long forced carries and narrow passages to get your ball through.

The greens were fast, but not slick and in good shape. They rolled pretty true. Fairways were in excellent condition. Only beef I had with the sand traps were a few on the Silver course had standing water.

Really nice people that work there and were helpful with getting around. The nice thing about going midweek was that the staff would send you to the 9 that had the least amount of people on it.

The food at the grill was good and you got a lot for what you paid for.

My recommendation is to make a day of it and come down and play 36 holes and have lunch in between your rounds. You will want to call ahead for the next week or so because I was told that they are going to aerate everything.

unreal what they have done to the place in a years time
