White Hawk Country Club - Black Hawk Nine

About
There are 36 holes of championship golf available at White Hawk Country Club. The club's four nine-hole golf courses are named Grey Hawk, Black Hawk, Red Hawk, and Silver Hawk. The Black and Grey Courses formed the original 18-hole layout when the club first opened in 1996. The Black Hawk nine is the shortest of the four at 3,469 yards from the back tees. It has a more traditional links-style layout that is player friendly enough for beginners but still offers a challenge with strategically placed bunkers and water hazards. The club's signature hole is the par-3 sixth, which is known for its intimidating island green. White Hawk C.C. has been ranked as one of northwest Indiana's best golf courses and it is conveniently located less than an hour south of downtown Chicago.

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.
Company Outing
From the drive up club service to the 36 holes this was a great company golf outing! Looking forward to the 2025 outing!
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.
GREAT HIDDEN GEM
The Black course is my favorite to play. silver not so much.
WhiteHawk
It was a bit wet . 1st hole in silver green was under water and the carts babysit you near tee and greens but guess that’s the new golf technology everyone is using . You have 10 seconds to get back on cart path …..
Don’t Play Silver
They have 4 nines (newest one is Silver). The lady at check in told us we were playing Grey/Silver. And that is what you get for booking on line. When we got to 1st tee the Marshall came up and was friendly. He said we would like the Grey 9. It was his 2nd favorite but nobody likes or plays the silver 9. He was right, we like the Grey 9, but the Silver was so hard it ruined the whole round. You are in the middle of a marsh with nothing around and you are constantly hitting long shots to carry all the reeds. You would need to be a consistently good player to enjoy this 9, and I am just a casual player.
They know how bad it is, they should give players a choice when booking.
The course won today
I played the black and the silver course both were tough on me . I shoot around 95 to 105 on average neither one of those happened today..I will be back to get my revenge
