Type Public
Par 72
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.

One of the better public courses

White Deer is a fun golf course. Greens are always in good shape and roll at a good pace. The few times I’ve played it this year there is always a pace of play issue. They send cart messages to speed up play on the screens but I’ve never seen a human managing the pace of play which would help. Also, paying $100 to play and charging extra for a warm up bucket feels greedy to me.

Cart paths only after the 1st rainfall in suburbs for weeks. The course was not wet enough that it should have been 90 degrees and 5+ hours of waiting sucks!!

Luckily we got a hot deal. Terrible course management

Nice set up

White deer run has a nice set up. Seems most of the hlles are spread out with some distance between green and tee. Fun course, can be set up to be very challenging plus the various tees.

Nice course. Annoying cart settings and overfilled bunkers make it less fun.

Very nice layout and the fairways and greens were in great shape.

The bunkers had FAR too much sand in them. Just brutal. There must have been a sale on sand.

The golf carts were super annoying with constant pop up ads & beeping, Geo fencing with no signs to warn you and speed governing in unnecessary places.

Carts paths are bumpy and in bad shape.

I really liked the routing, variety and conditions. The golf cart issues might keep me from playing there again. .
