East at White Pines Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Too Much $$ For What You Get
Visited this course for Labor Day round and was excited because it came highly reviewed from friends.
Ranger was very friendly. The course layout was average but enjoyable. The rough hazards will eat your ball alive. The greens were VERY well kept. However on our 3rd hole we encountered the rudest maintenance worker I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting. He stared us down from the green as we were about 150yrds out and just kept staring. We got up on the green and he was still staring and rudely scolded us for not fixing a divot we JUST made as we got up to that green.
The cart path is in terrible shape with monster potholes all over. Literally spilled my coffee and beer over and they’re unavoidable. The water is moss covered and swampy.
I enjoyed the par 5’s here a lot. They are lengthy and challenging. The clubhouse looked nice. Hot food was not ready at 9am. We started at 6:30am.
I will not be back here.
Course conditions
This course gets a lot of play. That being said, there is no excuse for the cart paths to be as bad as these. It is best to drive in the grass than on the paths. Huge pot holes, broken chunks of concrete, and soon a bad back.
The tee boxes were also really bad, with too many bare spots and weed patches.
However, the greens were actually in pretty good shape, which takes away the excuse for the tee boxes.
tee time started late due to other golfers being late, staff did not know how to solve. was stuck at first tee for 20 mins
Pace of play was slow
I haven’t played at White Pines in a number of years but I remember enjoying the course. The pace of play has made me decide not to return to it. Too bad!
A little slow
Still a good course, very enjoyable, unfortunately the pace of play was not very much fun. Some things you can fix and some things you can't. Otherwise had a great time, course was good, plenty of amenities no other complaints.
