West at White Pines Golf Course

Apparently the course maintenance staff is still on winter vacation. Over a hundred trees either cut or blown over with branches all over the place. Choose another course until they clean this place up.

Course appears to be slightly more difficult than the slope rating. Some narrow tree-lined fairways. However many trees have been cut down most likely due due to the Emerald Ash bore. We played the Red course about 6400 yards and 127 slope. Not much undulation on the greens. Only drawback was there were no carts.

Anytime you can golf around here in November, EVERYTHING is Wonderful. The course was in good shape for this time of the year. Very sad to see so many trees that had to be cut down. Back nine is quite watery!

We always enjoy playing white pines. My playing partner was recently disabled and needs the handicap cart (blue flag). We were told that they don't have handicap flags and besides that---it was cart path only. I offered my partner a choice if he wanted to play or cancel. He said, "Lets just do it". We had a great time and he still broke 90.

Hey listen, I got a tee time right when I wanted it and at a great price.They don;t cut the grass every day but I;m good with that.
Finished 18 in 3.2 hours so played another 9 no Q's asked .
Way to go White Pines

This was my home course in High School 30 years ago. It was tighter than I remember (Tree Growth) Some trees were dead and the ground was really hard compared to other local courses. Greens especially hard.

You have to hit the tree lined fairways after that not to hard greens are really true .
Cart paths need some tlc or seat belts on the carts.

Nice course for the money. First time playing the east course! Loved it ! Will recommend white pines to friends

Fun to play. Well worth the money. Get out and play while weather is good.

Went to my 5:30 tee time and found out that there was a league playing a shotgun format and a HS tourney. If I would have waited on the 1st tee, I would have tee'd off after 6. Golf carts driving everywhere in no order and kids running around all over following parents watching their kid golfing for HS. I tried to get as many holes in as possible because frustration set in. Will not be back.

I could not believe the quality of the green this late in the season. Like brand new carpet. Highly impressed. Great job by the superintendent and his staff!!!!

East Course is a fun, very challenging course. Accuracy from the tee is important. From a value/cost level I believe there are much better choices.
When you go to their web site and view the scorecard, it shows a detailed accurate yardage map from tee to green. They should provide this info in a laminated printed booklet inside the cart or get a GPS device
(which many courses of this price range have). Fairways need a heavy dosage of weed -n-feed, cart paths are terrible.

This was my first time playing White Pines East. The course was good/okay... many of the tee boxes were placed in very weird positions, such as behind trees on dog-leg fairways or the yardage was 40-50 yards longer than stated on the scorecard. Also, the cartpaths are gravel, not paved... which is always a big pet peeve of mine. The grass was manicured very well and greens had minimal ball-divots, which is very nice. The food was marginal at best, only hot dogs and ham sandwich at halfway house, even though the menu had 10+ items for sale. The credit card machine was broken so that was a negative. And lastly, the range ball machine ate my token and I was never refunded, another negative.

Overall, great course! But you could tell management was trying to save a few bucks by cutting some corners. I would play here again, as long as the range ball machine works.

Only worth a hot deal. Not in the best shape not very scenic.

Overall condition of the course is decent for the price. No frills, but solid. We played on a Saturday (mid-afternoon), and the starter had let five-somes out. They were insanely slow, and there was no ranger on course to speed things up.

This course features thousands of trees, many of which are diseased from the emerald ash borer and need to be removed. Visually, all the dead trees makes it unpleasant. Course conditions are average at best. Pace of play slow, but not ridiculous for a Sunday afternoon.

I am not a fan of this course. It's not all that difficult but it could use some bailout areas on some holes and really could use some updating.

Staff was friendly and have no complaints in that area.

Played the east course and torrential rains blew us off at 9. Apart from that I enjoy the mature natural setting.
There is a nice mix of longer holes and challenging par 3's.

The good: wide, generous fairways. Good layout. Decent challenge. Good conditions - greens were speedy as they dried out!

The not so good: cart path only can make for a bumpy ride at times. Some ground under repair.

Overall, a really good value ($25 with a cart at 6:50am on a FRIDAY!), and close to the city.

Course was very good but the cart path were so rough it could loosen the fillings right out of your mouth. They want you to stay on the paths but it was way to rough to stay on them for very long

The course is really nice, decently challenging, excellent course for the money, staff was super helpful, the facilities were excellent! My only issue was with my fellow golfers and golf etiquette! No one on this course understands to repair ball marks and divots on the greens!!! If you wanted to hit a truly straight putt, and were 10-15 feet from the pin. Allow yourself some time to fix about 3-4 divots per golfer, per hole!!! This course is really nice, I hope management can get our fellow golfers to show some pride and respect for the course!!!
