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.

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
Old Nordic
Play here three -four times a year . Good for the intermediate golfer.. Some tough pin placements on # 2 and 15 .Also beware of the deep sand traps .

Old Nordic
Play here on occasion .Golfer friendly with some challenging holes . Green elevation on certain holes can be tough with pin placement . Watch out for the sand traps their deep . A intermediate golfers course .

Eaglewood
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.
Short, but challenging
Alittle pricey for the length of the course. But kept up very well. Some challenging holes. Some elevated tee boxes, always a plus.

Nice little course I’m the shadow of Medinah
Was a nice round, the course is short but narrow enough to challenge you. If you play a fade or slice, this course is will not harm you too bad. The sand quality was less than average but still playable. Would return when the price is right
