About

Holes 9
Type Semi-Private
Par 36
Length 3489 yards
Slope N/A
Rating N/A

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.

Always a clean track

With the exception of playing after a huge outing, White Hawk is creeping up on being the best couse in NWI. With the new owner, alot of issues and course related problems are being addressed. Silver has been completely redone, and is carved into the woods with pristine greens and beautiful, elevated greens. Best value for the money. Just watch out when you book, verify there are no outings or your pace will be 5hrs with hacked up fairways.

Great course, unbelievable bargain!

For only being an hour outside downtown Chicago, this course is a great bargain! The course was in phenomenal condition. It had rained quite a bit the night before so the bunkers were slightly washed out but nearly all were still playable. Greens were a touch on the slow side but I attribute that to how wet the course was. Overall, great find and I will be back!

Worth the Drive

From the time you step on the property you feel like you are at a private country club. The course is just in perfect condition. There is four nines that they rotate. Greens roll like PGA tour greens. Just an overall great course! You can not beat there prices either for these types of golf courses.

I love the wide inviting fairways.

There are four nines at White Hawk. We played Red to Black. Red is fairly flat while Black has more rolling hills. Both have plenty of big bunkers. Most greens are well protected and are large and multi-level. My only complaint is that we followed a fivesome on the back nine. We were just a twosome and they never offered to put us through. However, even that was forgivable because a member of that group aced #6 and we got to hear them celebrate. It was fun.

Excellent facility!

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

Great course, especially if you're looking for a challenge!

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.

Excellently maintained challenging golf course

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.

Greeat layout, chalanging approach shots.

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!
