Reviews
Well maintained, challenging/tight holes, long par 3's
course is well maintained, lots of water holes and whispy grass and OB areas. lots of target landing zones that forces long approaches into greens or full carry yards. par 3's on front 9 are shorter distances and then back 9 par 3's are nice healthy challenges. fun and good mental challenge. will definitely play again.
Awesome Course
Great course!!! Very well maintained fairways and greens. Extremely scenic, with elevation changes, and wide fairways. Five sets of tees are an asset. Pace of play was excellent today, (18 holes under 4 hours). I played this course about 4 years ago and had forgotten how gorgeous it is. I will be back often!
Hey "efbolden2014" we are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the conditions as well as the scenery! We look forward to having you back again soon!
Raised my level of play and cant wait to play there again
What a treat to play this course, it just got better and very satisfying time
Hey "jannilsen" thank you so much for the positive review! We look forward to having you back soon.
My go to course for great value
I love this course. I also love getting out first thing in the morning and getting done in less than 2.5 hours. Some of my best rounds have been at this awesome course. It's a hidden secret as far as I'm concerned.
Hi hammerhd74,
Thank you for the positive five star rating as well as the kind feedback. We are so happy to know some of your best rounds have been played on our course! Looking forward to seeing you back again soon!
Awesome Track
Played here for the first time and I was throrouly impressed by the course layout and condition. Not super long but challenging enough with just the right amount of hazards. I play many courses in the SW suburbs and this one is up there with more expensive courses. Can't wait to play here again!
Hi EDUARDO1581947,
Thank you for your five star rating! We are thrilled to know you were impressed with the course layout and conditions. We look forward to having you back again soon!
Greens roll nice
The course is usually in great shape with greens rolling with good speed. Course is pretty open off most tee boxes but danger is out there still. I am a 6 handicap and have shot as low as 73 a couple times and as high as 87. I had an unbelievable experience getting paired with legendary Bo Jackson and his friend Cliff Benson for an awesome experience of s lifetime.
Hey "Dave2458324" we appreciate the 5* review! We are glad that you always find the course to be in great shape and hope to see you again soon!
Nice track
Very nice layout, course in very good shape. Enjoyable round. Restaurant/bar closed when we finished, but it was a holiday so understandable. Will definitely play again!
Hey "youngc1" we are so glad that you enjoyed your holiday out on the course! We are sorry you didnt have a chance to eat at the restaurant but look forward to having you back out here soon!
Disappointed
I am very disappointed that they are charging close to $70 to play this course with diseased fairways, and not one bunker groomed on the entire course. It rained hard two days prior but at least make an effort. This will eventually catch up with them.....I know I won't be playing there again because of it.
Hi "shaffkbi" unfortunately, we had experienced some heavy flooding before you played. Our bunkers are raked every morning, most likely there were a few our staff could not get to because of standing water. We have had heavy play recently and unfortunately, if golfers do not rake bunkers while they are out there it punishes the groups behind them. We appreciate you coming out and hope to see you again soon.
Played yesterday afternoon Sunday Sept 11th. What a georgeous day! The course in general was in decent shape, especially the greens. But the bunkers once again were a disgrace. If you can't afford the sand, you shouldn't be in th business. Strike three, Whitetail is out (of my rotation).
Great layout
Excellent course. Played early AM, a few fairways were a little rough. Otherwise beautiful.
Hey "cobbletron" thank you for coming out to play! We hope to see you again soon.
Best maintained course in area
Play this course every week and love it. Best maintained course in area. Fairways and greens are in great shape. Two different nines challenge your skills while pleasing your eye. Great value on a scenic layout.
Hey "u426591233" we appreciate the 5* review! We are glad that you enjoyed the course conditions as well as the variety of holes we have. See you again soon!
Not quite there
I have played a Whitetail multiple times this season. For the price, I expect more. For example, the and traps are not raked. I am not referring to the occasional footprint but rather the ground crew does not properly smooth the traps on a consistent basis. Additionally, not having a starter allows for uneven pairings leading to bad pace of play. Sending a twosome before a single behind a foursome makes for a slow experience by all. I enjoy the amenities but have had burnt brats and hot dogs several times now. Seems like a little more attention to detail would provide more value for the price.
Thanks for letting us know. We will take all of your feedback into consideration as our goal is to please our golfers. Thanks for playing with us and we hope you decide to return soon.
Nice Golf Course...Poor Service...Terrible Prices
I've played here many times, it's a nice golf course that was in good condition but there was no starter so pairings went like this 2-4-2-2-2, being in the foursome was frustrating because on every tee box we had to let someone through because they didn't get grouped up. At the turn there was no halfway house at 4pm on a Saturday so they told us to go to the restaurant where 4 people were on their phones while we stood looking for drinks and food. My friend ordered 2 John Daly's with double shots of Smirnoff that cost him $26, I'm not kidding. Also 2 beers and 3 hotdogs was $27. Overall I felt alienated like we were doing them a favor for playing there. In addition, the cart girl was nice it wasn't her fault the prices were so high.
Hi “David4680192” we are so sorry to hear that you did not have an enjoyable time out at Whitetail Ridge. We do not always have a starter later in the afternoon so we are sorry for the inconvenience of having to let a couple groups play through. With regards to the pricing of our food and alcoholic drinks we are very transparent before the purchase. We would like to make this right for you and get you back out on the course. Could you please send us an email at whitetailridgegc@gmail.com. Thank you.
First time at Whitetail
Very nice course and relatively easy to play. A few hidden tee shots, as the wetland plants have gotten tall. Good fairways and very soft greens. Overall a very nice course.
One item to be aware of, is yardage markers. All are in-ground and not easy to located for first timers. Just be aware or play with a rangefinder.
It was a good course and I will be playing again.
Hey "jdubb006" thanks for the five star review! We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our course conditions and layout. We look forward to seeing you back again soon.
36 holes in 3.5 hours
That is awfully fast but I was by myself and because of the weather, there were only two other groups on the whole course. However even whenever I have played there, about 25-30 times, the pace of play is good and 18 holes takes 4 hours 20 minutes. I think it's because of the layout, which is very nice. Some short par 4s, 5 par 3s ranging from 110 yards or so to 200 yards. There are unique holes on this course. Overall this is a very likable course.
Hey "u000005205652" thanks for the five star review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our course layout. We hope to see you back again soon.

Whitetail Ridge
Whitetail Ridge was a fun course to play the greens were great condition and i like how they set their pins up. It is a little narrow but you always have to think on the course about what your going to do.
Hey "adamdv" thanks for the review! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed our course conditions and layout. We hope you come back again soon for your next round.
Great course
Great course. Always in top notch condition. It is very exposed so always very windy.
Hey "uZEYO9690ZE" thank you so much for the 5* review. We are happy that you enjoy the course and hope you come see us again soon!
Bev cart and Bar
I got a can of Stella on the course but was told inside at the turn that I could only get a Stella on draft. Thought that was strange. Also I wish the would annex the whole course into the non dry county.
Hey "jtags224" we appreciate the positive review, come see us again soon!
Great Course
Love this place!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you "Simpso29"! Come see us again soon.
Hey "chicagoster" thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are happy to hear that you find the course to be challenging but still enjoyable!
