About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 70
Length 6371 yards
Slope 127
Rating 71.1

White Pines Golf Club is ideally situated for both locals and visitors with a convenient location that is just 30 minutes from downtown Chicago and only 10 minutes from O'Hare International Airport. The club has two 18-hole courses, the East and the West. The East is the shorter and more player friendly of the two at 6,371 yards from the back tees. The fairways are seemingly narrow but there is some room for recovery if you have an errant shot. There aren't as many bunkers or water as on the West Course, but there is enough to provide a fun round. In addition to 36 holes of golf, White Pines G.C. also offers the Golf Dome, one of the world's largest indoor golf facilities. It features five target greens surrounded by bunkers, 50 hitting tees on two levels, and six suspended hitting targets for practicing your accuracy.

Bad Starter “No clue , classless procedures “

Showed up on time for a 2pm tee time and starter. put a foursome ahead of us who were 30 minutes late for their 1:30 tee time. We ended up in the dark for our round at #16.

Not right at all, never again!

Good Course - Played the West Course

The course is well kept and the pace very good. There are water and bunkers to challenge most players. The fairways are a little narrow and lined by trees.

West Course at White Pines

This was the second time playing the West Course at White Pines which was very green in color and in excellent shape. Very close to O'Hare Airport for an opportunity to play while on the road for business and take the plane home after the round. O'Hare is 14 minutes away. Staff was friendly and very accommodating to all that played. The East Course at White Pines is a little more challenging, but both courses are enjoyable to either walk or ride. GPS system on the golf carts.

Great value

$35 for 18 holes walking. Well maintained. Greens in great shape. Finished in less than four hours. Much prefer the West course to the east, but both are very playable.

Great Facility

Love White Pines. Definitely would recommend the West course over the East. The east is tight and short but does get challenging on the back 9. Only (3) par 5’s not a big course. West side provides more distance and more challenges. But for the location it’s phenomenal. If you go early driving range probably not going to be open yet. Good value course was in great shape. The greens were superb ideal for putting.
