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.

Not worth the price!
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.
They’re trying!
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.
Bad shape
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
Nice course in wooded area
Very nice course in wooded area. Challenging from the tips. Greens were terrific. Definitely worth playing.
Good Layout, Veru good course conditions
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.
Nice course very slow play
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.
