West at White Pines Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Nice course
Course was in good condition, greens were great and running true
Great Experiance
Twosome during the week, twilight hours. The course was not busy. Was able to get 15 holes within 2.5 hrs. Look forward to playing their second course next week.
The course ranger was horrible
Our experience was completely ruined by the course ranger literally following us and waiting for us to shoot even though we were a group of 4 and keeping good pace. We also had no one behind us, yet he was stuck on bothering us the whole front 9. Absolutely ridiculous.
Rough start of the year
I have played this course many times. Right now the course needs some work, its early so i am hoping that they are just waiting to make the necessary improvements.
White Pines West
Good conditions for being late in the season. Leaves were not as bad as I expected. Greens a little fuzzy but had a fun time.
cart path ?
it turned to be a nice day we got to white pines and then they told us cart path only why so I called maple meadows about 10 min. away they said just come there where get you on and a great time drive the cart right to my ball so my 10 dollar book fee was on me I guess
Good Course just tough w/ aeration
Course is a great course overall. Playing it mid summer it's much friendlier in terms of green and sand. When there is bad weather or they are preparing for winter, aeration/sand really is tough to deal with thus ruins flow of a round.
Overall great course, but should be cheaper in fall than is.
The cart path
The cart path is bad you can not drive on it poorly maintained
You could get a headache ,back lashes
over rated
narrow fairways that are unfair to the average golfer. no fun and high scores being inside the trees with the drive. no chance to hit the green in two. regular green fees are over priced for a course that you are not going to have any fun playing.
Overall conditions good!
Great for the average golfer. Fairways and greens in great condition and yet challenging. Highly recommend
Cart paths suck
The gravel cart paths are horrible. Dusty and teeth rattling!
None
Will never recommend this course to anybody ever use to be a good course . The people running it now very rude manager is very uncooperative the Ranger has no personality went off path a little bit thretened to pull key throw me off course that's a little harsh the golf course is a hole in the ground that was a mistake never ever again thank you golf now you guys are great.
White Pines West
Not a very well groomed course. Sand traps have more mud than sand. Greens are slow and inconsistent. Tee boxes and fairways are like hitting of someone's front lawn. Paid $32, so if someone is looking for cheap golf and not expecting much of a golf course this is your place.
Challenging yet fun
This was my first time playing here and I did enjoy it. Gor a great deal on Golfnow so it was well worth it. Fairways are narrow, flanked by many trees (and quite a bit of water), so you better hit it straight. We played from the tips so that increased the difficulty. Course was in good shape too. The only downside was that the pace of play was pretty slow. We were behind consecutive foursomes of old guys, and those codgers really like to take their sweet time.
