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.

White Pines West

Tee boxes in great shape for the most part. Greens would be much better if golfers repaired their ball marks and divots. I think the crew does the best they can.

Cart paths- fix them or remove them, none would actually be better.

Starter was great and the pro shop folks were nice too.

Finished at 12:30 pm and never saw a cart girl. Maybe she was off or running late.

Pros and a con

Staff was friendly and course was in great shape.

Pace was a little slow, partly because of their carts and GPS. We ran into unannounced and unmarked 'restricted' areas. Some of these were as far as 20 yards from a green, or even between the tree lines that border each fairway. Also annoying was the incessant 1) advertising on the GPS that you had to manually 'click' out of to get distances and 2) reminders to repair divots.

GPS should speed up play, not slow it down.

Great bang for your buck

I played this course for the first time this year. I’ve been back several times. This is the absolute best bang for buck course in the area. The course has been in good condition every time I played. Course is fun and somewhat challenging. Staff is friendly. Place of play is always around 4 hours even on Saturdays.

Course rating explanation

To start off the pace of play was terrible took us 5 hours and 10 minutes to play this track. Doesn't help when you have the cart girl stopping people in the middle of the fairway for drinks. They have no respect when somebody's golfing not to drive by. I'm really surprised that wasn't addressed before. The cart girl had no consideration for the golfer and just wanted to maximize her sales. The traps were in terrible condition. You have more Young adults working there. Let's put them to work raking out the traps.
