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.

Disappointed

I played this course last Saturday. I made my booking for 18 holes through Golf Now. My receipt says 18 holes with cart. I got tp the course for an 8:45 tee time, check-in was great, everything was outside and it was quick. They sent me to the 10th tee to tee off which I thought was ok I was a single and maybe they wanted to get some players on the back 9 since it was still sort of early. I finished the back 9 and walked over to the ranger off the 18th green and asked him where the first tee was so I could continue my round. He told e I was done. I said I only played 9 so he sent me back to the check-in desk. At the front desk they told me I was only allowed to play 9 holes. There were a couple people on the practice green that walked over and said they had been doing this to everyone that finished the back 9. I was incredibly disappointed since I was under the impression I was going to play 18 holes. The course has done nothing to rectify this situation and it seems like they know they're ripping everyone off who books through golf now.

The Absolute Worst Staff

Everything was fine until the back 9 when we had someone following us the entire round putting pressure on us even tho there were golfers right in front of us and we had to wait on every tee box and coming up to argue with us about how slow we were playing. It was honestly the most unprofessional staff I have ever been around on a golf course in the number of years I’ve been playing. I would not recommend this course whatsoever.

soggy in parts

Fun getting out for the first time this year, course is well laid out and play was not rushed. Very soggy on some holes and anywhere there was a depression there is water in it. We have had excessive rain the last few days is nothing could be done about that.

Great experience all things considered

With the amount of rain recently, the course managed pretty well with minimal standing water impacting play. Staff was great in accommodating a cart for my wife who is pregnant. Nice to see COVID precautions in place (no ball washers, pins stay in, no bunker rakes). I thought $30 was a bit steep for 9 holes but I was happy to be out there.

Course has gotten even better.

Course is even better since they redone a bunch of the holes. Was a little wet when I played but I’m still not complaining since there was a tsunami of rain 2 days before. The staff was great as well considering I was using this crappy app and my tee time got all screwed up.

9 holes too short!

Thrilled to get out on the course. Only 9 holes were available for a reservation due to Covid 19 era. What a breathe of fresh air to get out and be amongst the beautiful trees and course.

The Back 9 of the East course was a lot of fun, very fair for play but hitting fairways is important

No Lost Balls, Greens were in pretty good shape, the fairways were really nice as was the pace of play 1 hour 45 minutes

Great Covid Course

They have it figured out. Super easy check in. Walk to first tee. Go play. We were never near anyone which is super important as my playing partner is immune suppressed.

So.... nothing fancy, just golf. Course was fine not great. Bot they are OPEN and ready for safe social distancing golf. GODSEND

Post covid

Course was in good shape other than some slushy fairways from the rain. Great value at $35 and would play here again 100%.

Was greeted and explained the social distancing rules. Also, a bensenville police officer was driving around on a cart. I assume he was making sure no twosomes joined together to make a foursome.

Decent course.

Nice track! Played both courses. East course is more challenging than West course. They’re both long like around 6,600- 6,700 yards from the tips. Would love to come back here next year to play more. I just wished that they have a much better deal come this time of the year (Fall Golf). Will still recommend this place to any of my golf buddies.
