West at White Pines Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Situated just 30 minutes from downtown Chicago, White Pines Golf Club has been a popular spot for both locals and visitors. The club offers two courses, the East and the West. The West Course is longer than the East by 400 yards and considered slightly more challenging. The layout is relatively tight and there is an abundance of trees, which means you'll need to be accurate to do well. The greens are large and challenging with difficult-to-read breaks. There is also minimal, but strategic bunkering along the greensides. The fairways provide plenty of variety with some that are narrow and heavily tree-lined and others that are wide with no trees in sight. The golf course has several challenging holes but it's forgiving enough for beginners to approach with confidence.

Good condition golf course
Well maintained if you don’t care how cart path looks.
Nice layout with greens in nice shape, greens are a bit uninteresting and then wake you up with a surprise break here and there. Also would say a good value.
Good for opening in March
White Pines is one of a handful of courses that opened for the few days of unusually warm weather in March. Not surprisingly, most of it was very soft, resulting in mud on the ball and club. The greens were in better shape than expected. It was just fun to get out.
Typical condition for this time of year no tee off markers in box
Bomb craters
First week of good weather. Course was wet so cart path only which are in terrible shape. Other than that the course was pretty good shape.
Glad they opened
Considering the time of year. The course was in good condition. Cart path only as we are still in winter and ground is soft. We appreciate that it was open and the flags were in and greens were puttable. .
Greens in good shape
Greens well maintained, some tee boxes under repair, some cart paths on East course need some attention, staff friendly and accommodating, will return to play here several times this spring & summer. Have not played West course yet.
Cart paths
The course was in very good shape. The cart paths are a different story, it was like driving through a war zone.
Excellent course
Received players kindly although the course was rough and covered with leaves. We liked playing the course.
