Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6017 yards
Slope 120
Rating 68.2

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.

The course was fine but they had no rangers managing the pace of place. Waiting at all holes to start.

Great course for beginner golfers. Pretty short even from the tips and very forgiving with not that much water.

I love the course which is short and sporty for someone who doesn’t hit it that far off the tee. .

The greens and bunkers are challenging

Fun course, nice variety of looks

6017yds from the tips so not the longest, but there are a wide variety of hole setups and some can be cahllenging, with difficult greens, tucked pins and plenty of trees to navigate around, while also being very accessible with a couole driveable par 4's, easy to reach par 5's, some adjacent fairways to veer off to and still have a look at the green. Speaking of the greens, many of them are challenging. Overall t's alway fun here and very budget-friendly

Slow expensive

18 holes took over 5 hours. Went out as a two some, stuck behind 3 separate 4 somes who had no interest in playing golf or taking the game seriously. Everyone taking 2-3 tee balls per hole, one golfer would hit while the other 3 sit in the cart, then comes another golfer, then another. Course had a ranger driving around but he did absolutely nothing to resolve pace of play issue.

Decent course but not worth what they charge, especially if they continue to over book and do nothing about pace of play.

Would not recommend

A somewhat short course, but can be punishing if you don't hit fairways. I try to play here a few times each season, usually about once each month. I wish they would re-install the mirror and bell on number 4, that was always a cool feature back in the Nordic days. The course is usually in good condition, maybe a bad green or two. Pace of play is often good, about 4 hours when the course is full. Never had a bad experience in several years of playing here. The par 3's are challenging, most par 4's are straight forward , a couple require good shot placement.
