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.

Needs more work

It's a nice and challenging course . You will almost lose balls not on the fairways. Please cut the rough down a bit more. You can't see balls you're standing over....overall good time and close to home.

Best value course in Chicagoland

White Pines is honestly my favorite course. They have excellent staff members, carts, and the course itself is well maintained.

West is a bit more forgiving than the East course. Twilight on the weekends is the best deal you can find.

Nice value

I have played this course many times and usually have a great day. Still a nice value but the GPS restricted carts must go. Twice I have had to drive in reverse nearly the length of the hole. Last time I had to wait for the system to reboot before proceeding. Total frustration.

Course in excellent shape but bunkers are dirt

Traps are dirt. The rest of the course is in excellent shape. Tee boxes are too close to the previous hole so keep your head up. Good value for the cost.
