West at White Pines Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Situated just 30 minutes from downtown Chicago, White Pines Golf Club has been a popular spot for both locals and visitors. The club offers two courses, the East and the West. The West Course is longer than the East by 400 yards and considered slightly more challenging. The layout is relatively tight and there is an abundance of trees, which means you'll need to be accurate to do well. The greens are large and challenging with difficult-to-read breaks. There is also minimal, but strategic bunkering along the greensides. The fairways provide plenty of variety with some that are narrow and heavily tree-lined and others that are wide with no trees in sight. The golf course has several challenging holes but it's forgiving enough for beginners to approach with confidence.

Best Course of the Year
We played 20-25 times this year with 5-6 times at White Pines. Saved our last of the year play at our favorite course with the great weather at White Pines on November 20! The conditions at most courses we played during Covid this year were average to poor with only a couple that continued to keep course conditions excellent during these tough times! We had the second tee time of the morning and were pleased to see the multiple course maintenance crew taking care of the course in front of us! While other courses made excuses for their maintenance blaming Covid, that fell on deaf ears with us, since a few courses, to include White Pines, continue with proper maintenance and still continue to follow necessary Covid protocols. We look forward to next season at White Pines and hope for a miracle warm day between now and then...White Pines will be our 1st choice!!
Your feedback is important to us, gebhron. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing East at White Pines Golf Course.

Hello, motaruj. Thank you for visiting us at East at White Pines Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great round
Was paired with three others and had a great time.. Course was in great shape leaves are all picked up. No trouble finding your ball in the rough, grass was cut close. Staff was friendly pace of play was really good, finished our round in under 3 1/2 hours. No complaints enjoyed the unseasonably warm weather and hit the ball pretty well for the most part. I used to work at this golf course many many years ago on the ground crew. Cool to see how the course is doing now. Would recommendThis course to anyone who wants to play a challenging layout but not so challenging that you can't score well.

Nice muni
Played the east course twice this fall. Hard to beat for the money. Course sees a lot of play and the conditions weren’t bad , very playable with some challenging holes will make a point to go in season

Need to change Booking this time of yesr
This is a great course and the staff is always nice. But having 2 hour frost delays and then jamming out groups is ridiculous. We left after 9 which took 3 hours to complete. It seems that frost is pretty normal this time of year, why not stop booing the early tee times, say before 9 AM until 3 days ahead of time so if its supposed to be frost you are not making the rest of us wait 2 hours .We always enjoy the course, but 6 hours is not reasonable. While understanding the course wants all the revenue possible this isn't good, I really hope you might consider my suggestion,
Hi, bhaak2015! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at East at White Pines Golf Course!
Fun track
I’ve played her 2 times so far. Today we had a 1:10 and didn’t tee off til 140, unfortunately that was the difference between us finishing and having to stop at 16 due to slow play in front and darkness. If the tee was on time I would have given 5 stars all around.

West Course
I had not played here for years. I played the West Course twice in the fall(Sept/Oct) and the course was in very good shape; pace of play was good, greens were very good, staff was very nice. Also, they had a great rate, $35 with cart for seniors.
