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.

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. .

Used cart

greens

Golf course has a beautiful facility, good condition tee to green but the greens were in terrible condition, ball marks everywhere which took the fun out of playing the course. I have played this course a few times before and it was always in good condition so I was

surprised by the condition of the greens
