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.

Huge sand traps, but fair. Nice layout.

East course cart path from #8 to #9 needs signage!! We played #2 twice before we realized it. Others too!

Good Course - Played the West Course

The course is well kept and the pace very good. There are water and bunkers to challenge most players. The fairways are a little narrow and lined by trees.

West Course at White Pines

This was the second time playing the West Course at White Pines which was very green in color and in excellent shape. Very close to O'Hare Airport for an opportunity to play while on the road for business and take the plane home after the round. O'Hare is 14 minutes away. Staff was friendly and very accommodating to all that played. The East Course at White Pines is a little more challenging, but both courses are enjoyable to either walk or ride. GPS system on the golf carts.

Great value

$35 for 18 holes walking. Well maintained. Greens in great shape. Finished in less than four hours. Much prefer the West course to the east, but both are very playable.

Great Facility

Love White Pines. Definitely would recommend the West course over the East. The east is tight and short but does get challenging on the back 9. Only (3) par 5’s not a big course. West side provides more distance and more challenges. But for the location it’s phenomenal. If you go early driving range probably not going to be open yet. Good value course was in great shape. The greens were superb ideal for putting.

Enjoyable, Fall Course

I’ve played the west course before but this was my first time playing the east course. While fairly short, this course was entertaining and would play well in the fall. Great mix of water, sand, trees and dog legs to keep you on your toes hole by hole. The fairways and rough were very well manicured. The back 9

plays much tougher and tighter than the front but both are enjoyable. The sand traps were not in great condition and my cart’s GPS didn’t work but that’s about all the negative I have for this one.

Slow play and course not taken care of.

It was a cheap round of golf. I guess you get what you pay for.

Best kept secret in Bensenville!

We drove in from Evanston IL, and my first time here and my husband played here maybe 15 years ago. The course was in phienomenal shape, the greens were very receptive and the sand traps were very playable. The grounds were beautiful and the proshop staff and rangers were vwery friendly and helpful! The girl who was working the bar area was her first day and her name is Malia! She is a beautiful soul and a nice addition to the club bar/restaurant area! Thank you White Pines, and we will be back! oh, shot my best round in two years and 5 surgeries...92! :>)
