About

Holes 9
Type Semi-Private
Par 36
Length 3489 yards
Slope N/A
Rating N/A

There are 36 holes of championship golf available at White Hawk Country Club. The club's four nine-hole golf courses are named Grey Hawk, Black Hawk, Red Hawk, and Silver Hawk. The Black and Grey Courses formed the original 18-hole layout when the club first opened in 1996. The Black Hawk nine is the shortest of the four at 3,469 yards from the back tees. It has a more traditional links-style layout that is player friendly enough for beginners but still offers a challenge with strategically placed bunkers and water hazards. The club's signature hole is the par-3 sixth, which is known for its intimidating island green. White Hawk C.C. has been ranked as one of northwest Indiana's best golf courses and it is conveniently located less than an hour south of downtown Chicago.

Grey / Silver

We played the Grey to Silver nines, at White Hawk, on 4/14/23. It’s been a while since I’ve last played the Silver course and I have to say they made one major improvement, that I think will help others play this nine more often. They cut down the cattails where you can see the routing of holes and see your landing zones. Overall, both nines were in excellent shape considering this early in the year. The greens rolled nice. The entire staff was friendly. I will be back.

Nice course nice people

Very large with 4 separate nine hole course. We did Grey and Silver. We thought it was challenging off the tee and hole
Placements. It was fun and in good shape considering it’s mid April. Can’t wait to comeback mid summer when the course has all its landscaping.

1 for 2 special

This is a four star course, if they would have given me a rain check for my paid GolfNow round the week before..
It was on and off raining and the clubhouse wouldn't let me go out or give me a raincheck. They said take it up with GolfNow, and GolfNow said it's the course's responsibility since they wouldn't let me out.
Either way, I'm out $40 with no golf or raincheck.
Here's your one star review.....

Great course, great condition.

This course never fails to impress. Played today with my son and my 3 year old grandson. Greens were perfect. Fast but held well. The day was extra special as my son made his first hole in one. Number three on red hawk. The course staff were excellent and even gave him a plaque of the hole he made it on. Thank you for a special day. We’ll be back soon.

72° = 5 hours 15 minutes

I know it was a nice day here in November, but a course with this many holes and options should not have taken over 5 hours on a Thursday. Not a ranger in site for the entire round. When you stack 2 and 2 and 4 and 2 and 4 and 2 on top of each other that's what happens. Here's an idea make some foursomes with all the two. Well I can say I played it once, that's enough for me... not heading back anytime soon.

Always worth a play

This course is always a joy to play. It can be difficult but fun if you are hitting your ball. Will play this at least once a year.
