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 course! Feels a little like Florida style.

Course can be as challenging as you wish to make it depending on the set of tees
you choose. Nice greens. Would definitely play again.

White Deer Run Great Track

White Deer Run is a fantastic track. A challenging golf course with some room for forgiveness. Sadly we were cart path only due to the amount of rain the course took in;however, the course was in great shape. If you have a chance I would certainly recommend playing White Deer Run. You will not be disappointed. Thank You White Deer Run for a Fun and challenging day.

Great course

Love this course but was disappointed that we were not informed that the greens had been just aerated making the greens much less than perfect. This information should have been shared at the time I made the tee time reservation. Otherwise, a great experience.

I like

Tees were up and still played challenging. Granted there was like 80mph winds. Nice layout. Awesome conditions. The 18th fairway was so nice we couldn't tell if we were on the green or the fairway. Need to plan your shots smartly out there. Great brats and dogs at the turn. I felt the majority of the greens were very tough to hit into as they were protected from big bunkers, water, and downslopes a foot off the green. Even the average golfer would strongly tested.

Great course, beautiful setting

Course was fantasically manicured, staff was very friendly, food was exceptional. Definitely worth the money. Only downside was sand bunkers in need of work, other than new bunker on 18. Overall great public golf course.

Diverse Layout and Fellow Golfers

Excellent day. The course was in very good condition. The best feature aside from the course itself, was the etiquette displayed by the other golfers. As a single, the groups ahead graciously allowed me to play through. After three groups in 4 holes, it was smooth sailing. It was nice to be allowed to play through.

Quality Layout

Upscale well conditioned course.
Tough. But with course management you'll traverse w/o too many penalties.
Pro shop and starter were sympathetic to single who could get caught in the mix.

Big storm rapidly passed and we were out as soon as it was safe.

Paid $43 with Hot Deal. Great price. I wouldn't pay anything near rack rate though. Price wise, they're unrealistic.

I'll return with similar deal.

Great Condistions

Overall great course, Greens were excellent, true and fast, but not ridiculous fast. Great conditions all around. A couple quirky holes (split fairways, hard dog legs) which makes it interesting. Only down side was we only saw the beverage cart once.

Nice public course, but not at the full rate

Fairways were in really good condition. Bunkers were basically packed dirt with a lot of rocks, no real sand. Rough off the fairway wasn't too bad and about average. Rough around the green was excessive in certain spots and extremely thick/high which made off the green shots challenging. Greens were extremely soft and not in great shape, maybe because it's a public facility but i only play public courses and i've seen a lot better for a lot less money. All in all it's a nice play to play but only at a discounted rate off a discount golf site, i would never play at full rate there are other places that have a better value.

White Deer Run review

This is the 2nd upscale course (Ruffled Feathers) that I have played in the last week and once again this course is not worth the regular green fees that they charge, but well worth what I paid on Golf Now.

The course was in very good condition with the exception of the sand traps which could have used more sand. There was no consistency with the traps. The slope rating in my opinion was way to high (135 from the regular tees). the layout is really good though.

wow. how times have changed!

I used to play here in early 2000's. Place was magnificent then. Prices then started to go up and it got too $$$. Just went back due to a a great rate on golf now and played thurs. WOW have things changed for the worse. Bunkers are like municipal courses. Greens are beat up. Its not worth it anymore. so many other choices at better prices. Sad to Report!!!!

Very nice challenging course

Beginners take heed -- this course is not for the faint of heart. Definitely recommend <25 handicap.

I've played this course a few times. I've seen it in better condition (the first two or 3 greens are not in amazing shape, couple of dead spots in the fairway), but overall this is a well-manicured course. The staff are friendly and the food inside is decent. My biggest recommendation is to look for deals on GolfNow before deciding to play. Playing here for $89 (the weekend rate) has average value -- playing here for $60 (like I did today) has great value.

Good Course

Course was fair (besides the bunker) and greens were a little slow but otherwise great conditions. Carts with GPS are incredibly helpful and there was no one out there at noon on a Tuesday.

Course was in really nice shape. Greens were receptive and rolled nicely. The rain had really helped this course.
