WHITE PINES GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Bensenville, IL, USA
Designed by Jack Daray

White Pines Golf Club's West 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 reflects the practical, accessible design philosophy common to many public facilities built during that era in the Chicago metropolitan area. The layout occupies relatively flat terrain typical of the region, with mature tree-lined fairways that define playing corridors and frame individual holes.
The course serves as a municipal facility, providing golf to a broad cross-section of players from Bensenville and surrounding communities. Its location in the densely developed western suburbs means the routing works within a compact footprint, with holes that often run parallel to one another. The trees that matured over decades add strategic interest, requiring accuracy from the tee and thoughtful course management on approach shots.
White Pines operates as a straightforward public golf venue without the tournament history or architectural pedigree of more prominent Chicago-area courses, but it fulfills an important role in the region's golf infrastructure. The facility offers accessible golf in a convenient location for residents and travelers, with the West Course representing a typical example of mid-century municipal design adapted to the constraints and opportunities of suburban Chicago terrain. The course provides a functional test of golf within a mature parkland setting.
Reviews
Typical Chicagoland muni, a couple fun holes. Usually in terrible condition hence the score but if you are into plane spotting you will see a lot of planes over head.
