West at White Pines Golf Course

DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE TO GOLF HERE!. Course is not worth the price. The conditions r quite bad tee boxes r in awful shape. The pace of play is super slow waiting 15mins on tee boxes. The GPS on carts do not work. Course is overrun by a bunch frat hacks. Make it ur last resort to golf here. One of the worst courses in northwest suburbs for the price.

I heard the park district contemplated selling the property but decided to keep it and invest in it. That’s great! A little more TLC on bunkers, tee boxes, and cart paths would go a long way. It’s a nice property, and the courses are fair for ordinary muni golfers.

GPS in carts not working

No signage on the Course for any of the holes

Tee boxes were littered with broken tees

Greens were slow

Staff is nice and they had a drink cart on the course

Very nice course in wooded area. Challenging from the tips. Greens were terrific. Definitely worth playing.

The course layout was interesting, enjoyed it. The course conditions were very good. Now, the cart I had would display a message that I was in a restricted area every time I was 3 feet off the cart path. No one else seemed to have this issue. Very annoying. We played the front 1:50. The back was a different story. We played the back in 2:35. We saw several course rangers but they seemed to be just driving around. The group 2 ahead of use seemed to be the problem. Oh yeah, we were on one green and two carts circled the green. I don't care if you play WP every day and know shortcuts to the next tee, it was very disrespectful and should not be allowed/tolerated.

This course is not easy. Very narrow and plays more even narrower because of mature trees growing into the fairway. Has its fair share of water trouble too. The main reason for slow play is way too many beginner golfers wasting time looking for balls. Please just drop and go already. Rangers were around but basically nice Walmart greeters that didn't address the slow groups. Course was in good shape and enjoyable to play, but 5 1/2 hours is a bit much especially since they supposedly strive for 4 hour 15 minute rounds.

I only rated pace of play 1 because 0 wasn’t an option. I’ve never experienced the nonsense that happened at White Pines. A 6some of ladies was only part of the problem. We were the 4th group on a par 3 twice on back nine. The guys in front of the ladies spent 10 minutes looking for a ball, then the guy comes back to the tee to hit again. A guy in the group behind the ladies played the back tees even tho he couldn’t hit the ball 200 yds. 5 hr round was ridiculous. At least the brat I had was excellent.

Played this course 3 years ago and swore I wouldn't do it again it was so bad, but I had talked to some other golfers and they said it was better. NOT TRUE. Although the greens don't have wasps nesting in them this time on the course we played, all else is pretty much the same. Cart paths are almost unpassable. Tees are mostly hard, traps are terrible with weeds growing in them. Signage to identify holes was missing and no guide to which hole was next was nonexistent.

Other issues. GPS on carts was useless.

It didn't display distances kept going to adds or saying we were in restricted area even when we were on cart paths. Counter person didn't know how to use computer. Wanted to see my online reservation before check-in which we found out I didn't need. Forgot to mention that they were starting on 10 so found no starter at 1. Just a poor experience as to what it could be.
