About this course

White Pines Golf Club's East Course sits in Bensenville, a western suburb of Chicago near O'Hare International Airport. Designed by Jack Daray, a regional architect active in the mid-twentieth century, the course serves a public golf facility that has provided accessible golf to the Chicago metropolitan area for decades. The property occupies relatively flat terrain typical of the greater Chicago region, with mature tree-lined fairways that define playing corridors and frame individual holes. The routing takes advantage of the available land to create a straightforward layout that accommodates golfers of varying abilities. Trees play a significant role in strategy, requiring accuracy from the tee and thoughtful course management on approach shots. The course features traditional parkland characteristics common to municipal and daily-fee facilities developed during its era, with modest elevation changes and greens that reflect mid-century design sensibilities. White Pines operates as part of the Bensenville Park District, serving both local residents and visitors to the Chicago area. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that supports daily play. Its location near major transportation routes makes it accessible to a broad population base, and it functions as a neighborhood course within the extensive network of public golf options available throughout Chicagoland. The East Course provides a straightforward golf experience without pretense, fulfilling its role as a community amenity in a densely developed suburban corridor.

Getting there

White Pines Golf Club sits just west of Chicago's sprawl, most conveniently reached via Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) or Midway International (MDW), each roughly thirty minutes away depending on traffic flow through the metropolitan corridor. For those arriving by private aircraft, nearby executive airports including Chicago Executive Airport (PWK) in Wheeling offer a more discreet alternative, cutting the ground transfer to mere minutes. The drive from O'Hare carries you west through the industrial and residential fabric of the Chicago suburbs before the landscape opens into the quieter, tree-lined streets of Bensenville, where White Pines Golf Club emerges as an unexpected sanctuary - a mature, parkland refuge that feels worlds removed from the city's edge despite its proximity to one of America's busiest aviation hubs.
