East at White Pines Golf Course

Aside from all the rain we've had and it being cart path only, it is a good course to play. Not too challenging and always fun.

White Pines West is a solid course and for $40 after 1pm its a great value. The West course provides a test with some longer par 5's than the East. They recently upgraded their carts with GPS included. Pace of play was slow (5 hour round) but mostly due to cart path only, and bunkers need more sand, but other than that it is a well maintained track. Great option close to the North side of Chicago.

I enjoy White Pines & it’s a good course. I just think that it could’ve been in better condition. Also the greens were covered in what we call whirly birds. Otherwise for $35 not bad at all.

I enjoy playing White Pines. I prefer the West Course, but both are good plays. There is a good variety of holes in terms of layout and difficulty. They keep the Course in good condition, but there are some areas that hold water (especially with the significant rain lately). The majority of the course is kept in great condition.

Me and my friend really enjoyed the course, which was in great shape.

The course was in very nice condition, Greens were fair and pin placement was good. New Golf Carts are a nice addition with GPS. Now the Bad, Tee boxes need to be moved more often, and rolled flat. overall a nice course. Staff needs to be friendlier.

Had good layout but all the grass was high and sand traps were more dirt than sand

It was cart path only, but should have been closed. There was standing water every where and your shots would stop dead or get plugged. The greens were in excellent shape because the course hadn't been played much because of all the rain.

The course was very wet from heavy rains the last couple weeks. The staff made it worth it.

Course is in bad shape would not recommend it at least now

The course has just opened maybe a week ago and considering it was in good shape. The tees with a good Shape the fairways was in good shape and the greens was rolling pure. White pine is a good golf course to play on .great place to bring friends and families 4 outings and tournament play this is a good course.

Spring weather finally arrived today and I wasn’t the only golfer who had realized it. The East course was busy and I knew it would be at least a 4 hour round to make it around the course. From the start the conditions of the course were quite wet and saturated in some areas, maybe a result of some recent rain, but maybe a lack of sufficient drainage. Bunkers were raked but seemed inconsistent with the sand quality in the 3 I found during my round.

A disappointing part of my experience was all of the tree and shrub work that had likely been started the week prior to my visit, but hadn’t been cleaned up. There were piles of branches and derbies present in multiple areas of the rough and near some green surrounds that had been gathered but never picked up. It was a poor maintenance decision to go all out with trimming if a cleanup crew couldn’t remove the debris.

Also not a fan of greens lacking collars and formal approaches.

I got a good price for the round, which included very nice / brand new leased carts, but I can’t say I’m interested in returning.

I was with a group of 4 and we walked off the course after the 12th hole. We started at 9:10AM and we left at 1:15PM. On pace for a 6.5 hour round of golf. Day was perfect and the course had a nice layout, rate of play was awful.

Course was in pretty good shape since there is no rain. Sand traps could use more sand (yes I was in a few of them) Greens and rough (yes I missed fairways) could be better, but when on the fairways the course was in great shape, greens putted true, just lots of bare spots starting to show but the staff here is a 10, from the club house, starter, cart girls everyone pleasant, professional and helpful

Played White Pines East yesterday. Unfortunately, got behind a woman's league which was slow. Took 4 1/2 hours to play - on a Tuesday morning, that is not good. Some of the greens need repair. The 12th tee box look like it had been flooded recently, with barely any grass in the area. The cart paths are crushed limestone, and are in dire need of repair. A lot of pot holes. But other than the above, the course is moderately challenging and was in good shape.
