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.

Would have been higher but…

Was not notified that there were not carts available for rent - we did not have the time to walk18 and I was embarrassed. Don’t mind walking but not in a time crunch in very cold snowy weather conditions

White pines is normally very good

Not a complaint against the staff or the course but I was very disappointed that we weren’t notified that carts weren’t available on a very cold day. We weren’t mentally prepared for walking 18 and we felt time strapped. A heads up from golf now would have been appreciated.

Great Local Course with great carts & cartpaths

Enjoyable course and really nice carts with flyover feature to see each hole + new asphalt cart paths were fantastic👏. Some bunkers still need some repair + replace bridge on #15 West Course.

Staff very attentive & friendly.
