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.

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

This course strengthens your iron game!

I always want to drive the ball as far as I can but this course you have to keep the ball in play! There are a couple open wholes for the driver and the par 3’s are long into the wind! Fun course!

Great place to play

Need a bit more sane in the bunkers. Nice job on the recent landscaping. Hole 17 forward pin placement can be punishing from below or above the hole.

Nice Course, Bad conditions

First time playing this course for me. The golf course was in decent condition for this time of year but was very wet/soggy due to all the rain in April. Course was cart path only and the ground was pretty squishy everywhere other than the greens. Greens were in decent shape. Sand traps were pretty bare or were mini-ponds (due to heavy rain the previous evening). Overall the course is pretty short if not playing from the Blacks. Started the round from the Silver/White tees but for the first 6 or 7 holes it was basically Driver/Wedge/Putter so switched to Black tees. Pace was ok -- bit slow but that was understandable given the cart path only conditions. Will definitely play again should be a better experience once the weather improves.
