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.

Always a pleasure

One of my favorite courses. Friendly and accommodating staff. Nice front 9 to warm up on with more variety on the back 9. Nice carts, sturdy push carts. And great hot dogs!

Great Local Course

This is a great local course that will challenge you, at any level. The course and the greens were in good condition given the the amount of play. My only complaint would be the Bunkers, they are hard pan and have very little sand.

Fun round

Thanks for a nice time. Our foursome really enjoyed ourselves. Nice old trees keep it challenging. Fair amount of water throughout the East course. Will be back.

Not well maintained.

I grew up playing White Pines. When I shared that with the pro inside, no response. He clearly could care less. The course itself was more than a week over due for cutting - everywhere. Greens were very slow and need both cutting and rolling. Rough was over 4 inches deep just off the fairway. Fairway was over 2 inches deep. You could lose a ball in the fairway. Played with a wow man who hit from the forward tees. They were almost to long to tee the ball up. Staff was not friendly. I will not play there again anytime soon.
