Eaglewood Resort & Spa
Rating Snapshot
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.

Nice course with Mature Trees
The course had a nice layout with many mature oak trees lining the fairways. The course is relatively short, but still challenging. It neighbors the famous Medina golf club and shares the rolling terrain. It's worth a try if you have not played there before.
September 2022
Having played here many times I was disappointed. The greens are full of unrepaired pitch marks, and for some reason the bunker were watered. The bunkers have always been difficult but watered they were unplayable.
Overall the value just isn't there. I could have played another course for $40 and I'm sure it would have been in better condition (greens and bunkers).
I found the greens extremely fast, it rained when reaching number 12. The rain lasted about 45 minutes and the greens were a bit easier to play after getting wet.
We were told the beverage cart was on the course, we didn't meet it until we reached number 9 tee, then met it again 3 times on the back 9. Meeting the cart on 9 is useless as you can stop at the bar for drinks and food at the turn. I would hope the cart would focus on holes 4/5 and 13/14 as that is where refreshments are probably most needed.
I love this course and would recommend it to friends, but this time I was disappointed. The value just wasn't there. At best $40 would be a reasonable price.
The pace of play was brutal. We only got through 14 holes and that took 4 hours. There was a starter but never was around to check in. Played here a couple times, fun course, but won't be back on a weekend...basically they book and let it be a free for all.
Great valvue, great price. Whats not to like
Great course. Fairways and greens super shape. Greens are tricky but fair. Lots of slope - takes a few rounds. Very reasonable fees. Traps need lots work. What's not to like
No Hot Dogs
The course was in decent shape except the greens. Most were riddled with ball marks that hadn’t been repaired. No hot dogs on the course but luckily I had some leftover in my bag from my last round. Overall, not a bad course.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Eaglewood Resort & Spa!
Great Course
Dont let the yardage discourage you. This course is awesome. Fun layout, playable, but still challenging. If there was any knock against it, it would be that there are 1 or 2 holes that have some bad turf around the green (3rd and 17th it think?). In my opinion this course is the best value for the cost in and around the city.
Nice club house with a good practice green (no driving range).
Great Time
The course is in good shape (greens has a lot of unfixed ball marks)
Challenging greens - fast and quite a few curving putts.
Played with a couple of bombers
A lot of fun
Fun, small course
If you like short courses, this is it. I think maybe one or two par 4’s were over 400 yards. Very short par 4’s with plenty of open fairways. Holes are so close together; if you can’t keep a ball straight it is a safety hazard. Almost got nailed 3-4 times.
HORRIBLE
Back 9 took an hour more than front we caught slow groups RANGER ON COURSE DRIVING CART BUT DOING NOTHING ABOUT PACE OF PLAY ONE GROUP REALLY REALLY SLOW PARK CARTS IN FRONT OF GREENS not caring I guess if ranger does care why should they VERY BAD

The coarse is on the shorter side but still very enjoyable. The greens make this coarse a bit of a challenge.
