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.

Great Course for the money

It is a great course for the money, It is well kept overall, the 17th Green had some serious divots but I blame the people not fixing their divots not the course. Everyone who worked there was nice. The course is challenging enough and beautiful. One of the better public courses and I will be going back again definitely

Underwhelming

Staff was friendly and helpful checking in. Course could be maintained better and overall was tired looking. The pace of play was so slow,. There were rangers out, but not keeping the pace of play anywhere near what the course said it should be. For the price there are better courses.

Course was quick. Starter was all over the ensuring people on the practice green and range with an upcoming tee time got to the box. One course. This year finished under pace of play time.

Tried a New Course

Was excited to play White Pines for the first time. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The two disappointing things were the slow pace of play and the condition of the course. There were rangers on the course who did not keep us close to the posted time for a round. The course itself was not maintained that well. Am comparing the course conditions to others played for similar greens fee. This is unfortunate because the layout of the course is good and it has some challenging holes.

White Pines East 9/25/24

Course was in great shape. Hasn't been aerated as of 9/25/24. Leaves are beginning to fall so finding your ball, even 5 feet off the fairway, may be difficult and lead to longer rounds.

GPS?

Nice course, decent price on GolfNow. We have played here 3 times this season, and the GPS is never working. Also, had a fivesome in front of us, including a single that was walking. Really slowed things down. Had to wait on almost every hole. Concession stand was not open. Finally, the cart paths could really use some repairs. Still enjoyed the round.
