About

Holes 9
Type Semi-Private
Par 36
Length 3750 yards
Slope N/A
Rating N/A

White Hawk Country Club boasts 36 holes of championship golf, which are divided into four different nines. The Grey Hawk and Black Hawk nines came first, followed by the Red Hawk and finally the Silver Hawk. The Silver Hawk nine is the longest of the four and it is also widely known as the toughest. The golf course incorporates a variety of landscapes from mature woodlands to pristine wetlands. Water has a prominent presence with seven large lakes and a few meandering creeks sprinkled throughout. You'll find that water hazards come into play on what seems like every hole. In addition to the water, the fairways are lined with trees and the green complexes have challenging ridges, tiers, and swales. It's easy to see how White Hawk is ranked as one of the top 10 toughest golf courses in the state.

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.
