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.

Nice Course

This course is well kept and has beautiful landscapes.

I’ve played both the East and West courses and have never been disappointed. The golf carts have GPS, that help with distance. And it’s in a great location in proximity to Elmwood Park. Definitely recommended.

golf cart restrictions

Bunkers were poor quality of sand. Too many golf restrictions as to where to drive the cart. The gps didn’t work well, and too many advertisements on it. The staff at the pro shop didn’’t inform us of what tee to start on . Not a good day!

Oh no oh no

Biggest problem is the carts. Kept on dying, computer system worked on first hole and back 9. Does not let you driver out of cart path had to push it multiple time and reset. Ruined golf experience. Also carts needs to be cleaned grass, mud, rocks was in the basket in the back

Good course

Challenging layout. Greens are a little hard that make the ball roll more than expected. Overall very good!
