West at White Pines Golf Course
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Horrible Condition
The trouble started right from the beginning. Went to the cart barn to get a cart, stood there for 10 mins and no one was there. Walked to the starter and said I need a cart and he replied, “I don’t know what to tell you, they must be out so you’re going to have to wait.” I could see a ton of carts in the barn so I know they weren’t out. So we ended up grabbing some guy’s dirty cart that he brought in just so we didn’t miss our time. The younger staff all had basketball shorts and tee shirts on and the starters just a plain, personal polo, not staff shirts. Course conditions were terrible. Most tee boxes were completely dead, fairways and rough a mix of weeds and grass and dirt around the greens. (See pictures). I won’t be back!
Great course and staff
Challenging West Course and well maintained greens. Staff was very friendly and the food was great., will be back to play this course again.
u314159942599, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing East at White Pines Golf Course.
Would not play again
8/17/2020
Played the course yesterday and wish I would have gone down the road to Maple Meadows. First of all, the club house washrooms weren't open and they referred me to two porta potties. The one had no urinal or tp and was full. To top it off, the only place to wash your hands was a foot pump sink. The greens were quite marked up and the GPS didn't function all the time. The GPS always gave a reading at the T-box but didn't change the yardage when you got on some of the fairways. Cart pick-up and drop off location have always been a pain here and is worse now that you can't take them to your car. I won't be playing White Pines again.

Nice day, but..
pace of play was a bit ridiculous. Front 9 in under 2 hours with a threesome. Made the turn and the group in front of us was horrible. 45 minutes to play 10 and 11, and start 12. Round ended up being over 5 hours. Ranger was out on the course reading the paper or something. Had nothing to say about a slow group that was holding up 3 other groups. Pretty frustrating.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, u5282549! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Pace of play
Very slow, the ranger was on the course but did nothing to speed up play. It took 1 hour to play holes 10 and 11. Cart GPS kept locking up so it was useless. Yardage didn't match scorecard.

Good course, especially for the money... range is closed though
Nice course with a good layout and in pretty good shape. It was certainly disappointing to get there an hour before our tee time and find out the range is closed for the season. It seems strange to close it in the peak of the golf season in particular, but everything else was a good experience.

White Pines always a good value
Having lived near Elmhurst for the past 35 years, I've played White Pines many times. They went through a through "iffy" years a while back, but now the course is in great shape. The new cart paths prevented any further damage to my kidneys.

you are going to wait
it’s either the players are really slow or they continue to keep overbooking and you’ll be waiting at least 10 minutes a hole, had a 3:40 tee time finished at 820 don’t golf here unless your first out the tee box
