East at White Pines Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Rounded up to 4 stars
Course was nice and lush. Good layout. Green's played true. Carts choke up every so often. They just stop sometimes. The course people have a way of restarting the carts. But they should post them on the carts. It is such a hassle when carts die.
Also they had 'cart path only' in effect. If you violate, the cart stops. Fair enough, but they need to make it known.
Hots dogs were good. Pro shop friendly.
Rude staff
The club house staff is extremely rude and ignores customers for their own conversations or cell phones. The halfway house was closed so we tried to grab food at the bar but got the same service
Nice layout and some challenging holes
Everything was good except the pace of play. Took us 5 hours and 10 minutes to play.
Fun Golf
No one can grow grass like White Pines. A good challenge from back tees while allowing high handicappers to enjoy as well. Greens were very good and fairways lush.
OK, but slow.
It’s an okay course, but the pace of play is super slow. At one point there were 4 groups waiting at a tee due to a bottleneck of players ahead. In addition our cart cut off at random times on the course requiring a total reboot before we could move again which was highly frustrating.
Nice Round
Got a great rate on Tee Off. Great that we were flexible with tee time. Some tee boxes need some work, but over all was a fun round, and pace was good.
Thank club house
I scheduled our foursome at 6:40pm instead of 6:40am. We showed up at 6:20am and realized I scheduled for 6:40pm the guy in the clubhouse squeezed us in starting on the back 9. Thank you for taking care of us.
So so
I found areas of the course neglected. Carts were old and needed maintenance. GPS sucked. Kept going to advertisements requiring me to touch the screen each time i wanted distance. I eventually stopped using it. I would not play this course again
Good value
This is a very nice course to play for the cost. Staff is very friendly and the course is in pretty good shape. Most other courses would charge $20 more easily.
need a course ranger
SLOW SLOW SLOW SOOO SLOOW
SOME PEOPLE PLAYING ON THE COURSE SHOULD AT BEST BE ON A DRIVING /PRACTISE RANGE OR SHOULD BE PLAYING BINGO AT CHURCH!!!!!!!!
