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.

Slow Play

Unfortunately, there was a company golf outing during my round and it had a disastrous impact on pace of play. Had a number of groups on this company outing with 5 or 6 guys teeing off. Not good. The course is in ok shape and the staff is very good. GPS in the carts works well.

Standing water everywhere

The course had standing water everywhere even though it hadn’t rained for 3 days. There was water in the bunkers making the bunkers unplayable. Never have I seen a course not pump standing water out of the bunkers.

Probably not Worth it

The pro shop is always a nightmare. Computers seem to never work, they’ll generally refuse to check anyone in before 6a even though they sell a 5:55 tee time.

Often times get charged a premium rate only to have them work maintenance on every single hole completely oblivious to anyone golfing. Super frustrating when trying to be first out and play quick and have to wait on every tee box.

Bunkers are generally unplayable, but the rest of the course is actually alright.

Average at best

Nice course for the average golfer but lacks that extra manicuring that makes a course special. Sand traps were full of water and hard pan. No tap beer in the restaurant only cans hello it’s 2024!!!

Not worth the price!

DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE TO GOLF HERE!. Course is not worth the price. The conditions r quite bad tee boxes r in awful shape. The pace of play is super slow waiting 15mins on tee boxes. The GPS on carts do not work. Course is overrun by a bunch frat hacks. Make it ur last resort to golf here. One of the worst courses in northwest suburbs for the price.
