Eaglewood Resort & Spa
About
Located just northwest of Chicago, the Eaglewood Resort & Spa opened for play in 1932. It is a classic championship golf course, built during a time when the long drive was unheard of. The 6,017-yard layout seems short by today's standards, but the course still offers a formidable challenge. It features rolling fairways lined with century-old oak trees and wildly undulating, difficult-to-read greens with varying speeds that fluctuate depending on the weather, season, and even time of day. There are generous landing areas but they are bordered by deep, strategically placed bunkers that are just waiting to swallow even slightly errant shots. The carefully sculpted and plentiful bunkers are a prominent feature of the layout. Eaglewood's scenic landscape also has three lakes that come into play on eight holes.

Early season treat
Felt that the course was in better shape than I could imagine this early in May. Staff was excellent and we finished in three and a half hours. Decent experience on the links....
Fairways and Greens were immaculate. Pace of play was great.
backed up
The round started out ok, but slowly began to back up. We waited approx. 5 minutes on the 2nd , 3rd, and 4th tee. 10 minutes for the 5th and 6th. over 20 on the 7th. When we got to the 7th tee I counted 16 waiting for the 3 on that par 3. The group behind us left along with two from our foursome. I played in the front nine. Then I jumped 4 holes and it was wide open. Then slowly more jumped ahead of me and with me. There were 4 groups very slow. They need to keep and eye on that.
Terrible
They were fertilizing the grass in the middle of the day. The course was wet with strong fertilizer chemicals and the grass was really long around the fairway making your ball extremely hard to find and pace of play longer. I do not recommend this place as they do not take care of the course and like to fertilize the grass while people are playing. You either have to wait for the fertilize guy or walk through the wet strong smell of fertilizer.
Conditions
It's been a nice spring and the conditions were horrible. Big bumps all over slow greens. Rough so high I lost to many balls.
Rainy season
A lot of rain recently, so cart path only. Pace of play still very good under 4 hours. We played on a Monday so no beverage cart and no water on coarse. It was wet but very few puddles. Greens were good.
Course condition
Course was a little soggy but with all the rain we had recently it couldn’t be avoided. Otherwise , the course is always fun to play.
Great staff
The staff makes the course more welcoming —-keep up the good work—-thanks
A little gem
I like this course. Sometimes the pricing gets a little high but when it's reasonable it's fun and usually not that busy. Greens are well kept and fairly fast. Everyone is friendly
pretty decent course, Not great conditions went 2 days after a 3-4inch snow so but it was 100% the best it could be.
Beautiful setting
This course is in a beautifully wooded area. Not a great deal of intrigue to the layout but very enjoyable. The negative side of the course conditions is the patrons don’t repair their ball/pitch marks. Consequently the poor conditions of the greens does not match the excellent conditions of the fairways.
