Blackhawk/Silverhawk Course
White Hawk Country Club
About this course
White Hawk Country Club sits in Crown Point, Indiana, approximately forty miles southeast of Chicago in the northwestern corner of the state. The facility features two eighteen-hole courses, Blackhawk and Silverhawk, both designed by Tim Nugent. The courses occupy gently rolling terrain typical of the glaciated landscape of Lake County, with natural drainage corridors and mature tree plantings defining many holes. Nugent's design work emphasizes playability across skill levels while incorporating strategic bunkering and water features that require thoughtful club selection. The dual-course layout allows the club to host member play and competitive events simultaneously, a common configuration for larger private facilities in the Chicago metropolitan area. Both courses share practice facilities and return to a central clubhouse. White Hawk serves as a private country club with a membership drawn largely from Crown Point and surrounding Lake County communities. The club offers traditional country club amenities including dining facilities and social programming alongside its golf operations. The courses provide year-round conditioning typical of northern Indiana clubs, with a playing season that generally runs from April through October depending on weather conditions.

Getting there
The journey to White Hawk Country Club begins at Chicago's Midway or O'Hare airports, both roughly an hour northwest depending on traffic and routing. From either gateway, the drive traces the industrial southern rim of Lake Michigan before peeling southeast into Indiana's flat, agricultural heartland, where the urban sprawl gradually loosens into open farmland and scattered woodlots. The final approach into Crown Point - a historic county seat with a charming courthouse square - gives way to the club's secluded grounds, where the landscape has been sculpted into rolling, links-inspired terrain that feels worlds removed from the Chicagoland bustle left behind.
