West at White Pines Golf Course

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.

Golf
It's as nice course , well maintained and worth the money . Rough are rally rough and par fives are def harder for not so long hitters like me .
Great staff and good course. Would definitely recommend
Great Local Course with great carts & cartpaths
Enjoyable course and really nice carts with flyover feature to see each hole + new asphalt cart paths were fantastic👏. Some bunkers still need some repair + replace bridge on #15 West Course.
Staff very attentive & friendly.
enjoyable round
price was right for this level of a course. played a little slow due cart path only stipulation. will definitely be back at the rate we played.
Well maintained
First time playing. Course was in excellent shape and well very maintained (save one tee box that was under repair). You could really attack the greens with approach shots. Everything held. Greens were a little slow for my liking, but were constant throughout all 18. Not a very long course, even from the tips. Quite a few doglegs that helped offset some shorter hole distances. Cost for 18+ cart was a solid deal for what the course has to offer and the level of care shown to everything.
Pace of play was very good for a hot Friday morning. All interactions with staff was helpful, friendly and generally excellent throughout the day.
All in all, an excellent experience and I will certainly be playing again.
Needs Attention
Almost every tee box is in bad shape, overgrown weeds everywhere, and last time I was here I ruined the spikes on my shoes because there was asphalt still drying with no sign that I stepped in.
