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.

Play Early

Always thought this course was a good value, however pace of play has always been poor which is why I don’t play here that often. Today I played it at 6:10am on a Wednesday so no issues with pace of play.

If you aren’t the first tee time, I would not recommend as you more than likely will finish in more than 5 hours.

Do not come here

Pace of play was awful, staff was very rude especially the rangers. Other players on the course were hitting into our group multiple times. Do not come here. Course wasn’t in very good shape also

Chanllenging

Played it for the 1st time, narrow on most holes, with moderate trees, not terrible if you get into the woods and can play an escape 8 well, I hit the lumber a few times, but that's golf, take the challenge drop a stroke and move on, discrete placed water in front of the 10th caught my rocket 6 iron shot, again 1st time playing, again from the black tees. Scored fair, the course is in great shape, 6$ buckets for the range 30 balls was perfect to loosen up before the round, 2 courses, and plenty of chipping area.

This course should plowed under for a housing development! $50.00 to play this place is $50.00 to much... The municipality should be ashamed to present such an awful product, they need to step aside and let a management company or private entity run the club.

Letting it go

Staff was rude and course is not well cared for. I think due to its location in an area with sting population they will get all the rounds they need without taking care of the place.
