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.

Golfer Reviews
Short but Worthy
taking into consideration, they had just aerated the greens, and it had rained earlier that morning, so it was soft, the course was in very good condition. Some of the holes are short, and I wouldn't call it a challenging layout, but a few of the greens are elevated, so you have blind second shots, a couple of longer par 3s, along with a very short one. I will return.
Aeration
The day we played the greens had been aerated and sanded, so decided a two put max was warranted. The rest of the course was in good shape. Fun course, some of the holes you are either hitting down to the fairway or a dog leg.
Beautiful day
Pace of play was awesome. Started as twosome ended as a threesome Played in 3 hours. The greens were in good condition. Some fairways were a little bare in spots but overall good. Tee boxes could use a little work. Not a fan of mounded tee boxes.
Meh
Played this course because it was close to where I had to work.
Not really worth it. Was really short. Conditions were ok.
Wasn’t a bad course just nothing really fun or special about it either.
JUST GO PLAY THERE!
Always enjoy playing this tract. Greens are great but stay short for an uphill putt. Tees, fairways, and traps are really good. Dave Fazio, the Director of Golf, has done a great job keeping this historic course in super shape and always lots of fun to play. Get a good deal from Golf Now and enjoy course.
Great shape
Despite recent weather, course was in great shape.
Great shape!
The course was in great condition but it’s not highly challenging. Staff was very friendly and marshal kept the pace of play reasonable. Great value and I would love to play here again if I’m visiting Chicagoland in the future
Stop putting so much sand on the greens
Makes putting pretty much not a equal part of the round
Biting Black Flies
I’ve verified this with other golfers that day and after. The course has an issue with black biting flies. Not sure of the source, but we were chased around the course the entire round. You may have six or 7 flies landing and biting while you’re trying to putt or just hit a shot. There must be some way to spray the course to expel these pests. It will nearly drive you crazy. After 9 holes we all headed to the car looking for repellent of any kind. It worked for a while but the flies were still biting, recommend showing up with pants and covered ankles. They will bite your elbows, so long sleeves might be needed. With Medina next door and the upcoming PGA event, I can’t imagine they are dealing with a similar issue. It’s a mystery!!!
Great place!
Friendly staff, nice course, might be good if they sell bug repellent…. Way too much mosquitos
Course was in good condition, greens very good,fun course to played, enjoyed it
wet
The course should have been cart path only. Rain from the night before made the course bad. Lot's of water and way to wet to play on. It rained even more while we golfed and got worse. Left after the 14th hole because of the slow pace.
Doral eaglewood is a fun course
Every once in a while I see a hot deal and today was one of them. The course wasn't crowded and I could have played alone but instead the starter paired me up with Alex another Chicago golf enthusiast. We played behind a twosome who was behind a foursome. Pace of play felt slow but we finished at the 4 hour mark. The course was in good shape except for 1 green but it looked like man made tracks nothing that the course could prevent. I've played here many times and you need to know how to play the front nine since several holes are reachable par 4s that I advise you should lay up on.
