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.

Solid course, a few minor improvements could help a lot

Good course overall with a nice layout… Fun for all levels. The staff was very friendly, but the ranger didn’t enforce a reasonable pace of play. Also, the halfway house and facilities were inexplicably closed.

the staff makes a huge difference

believe her name was Emma but not positive. she greeted us at the front desk check in. just want to say she was outstanding as one of our group had difficulty making the tee time. she said not to worry as she would work with us.. she just made us relax and enjoy the afternoon. the person did arrive on time but it was the thought and how she handled the situation that made the difference. thanks

Near Perfection

Perfect weather and $25 w/cart for this course is a steal. Tee boxes were a little beat up but that's the only real complaint I have.

A few tees were under water/muddy but overall a well kept course given the rain we’ve had recently.

Good for public course

Layout was very good p, employees were excellent, some areas of fairways were hard as concrete while greens were deceptively slow and soft. Tee boxes were great not chewed up with divots. Sand traps were rocky and needed to be raked as they were compacted sand

Cart issues

Golf cart broke down and had to walk 2 holes before they replaced it. No compensation offered for the issue. The replacement cart also had issue. Had to use reserve to get from one green to tee box.
