Length 7101 yards
Slope 137
Rating 74.6

Situated on the Cuneo Estate in Vernon Hills, White Deer Run Golf Club has a beautiful landscape dotted with sparkling lakes. The rolling terrain provides plenty of elevation changes, meaning there are some uneven lies and the occasional blind shot in store for you. There are not many trees but numerous bunkers lurk beside the greens and, of course, water is a pretty prominent presence throughout the golf course. Due to the plentiful and strategically placed hazards, the course puts a premium on accuracy. The layout is challenging but fair and it is also player friendly enough for beginners, offering ample room off of the tees. White Deer Run Golf Club's design contributes greatly to the course's playability, but that is also partly due to the immaculately manicured fairways and fast, well conditioned greens.

Good condition but

Overall the green fees are relatively high except in spring and fall. Fall they usually airate the greens and while the greens were still fast, the course usually does not inform you when they airate. This year when I payed it was not bad (about 2 weeks after they airrated but last year half the greens were just airated and were not the best. I normally don't have a big problem as long as they let me know.

Beeches galore, large well maintained greens

My first time at this course. Very nice design & condition especially for so late in the season. Very windy, which made a challenging course even more difficult.
Numerous bunkers in play surrounding greens & many affecting drives & 2nd shots on par 5's.
I would like to come back to try again on a calmer day & hopefully score much better.

Great Course

White Deer Run is probably one of the best maintained courses in Lake County. They consistently have awesome greens that roll quick and true all year, even during the heavy playing season. I have been playing this course for the last 6 years and it keeps getting better every year.
