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

Eaglewood is a fun course. It is what my friends call sporty. It has some challenging holes. The sand traps need filling.

Great course and close to the city

I've left Chicago after nearly 15 years, but Eaglewood will always been one of the ones I'll miss. Very serene and always in great condition. Course is short so I've walked it a few times. Lots of (manageable) challenges. Only gripe was that pace of play can be pretty slow, and that was especially true during the pandemic. But you take the good with the bad. Staff is always friendly. Hopefully I'll get back one day.

Very Solid Course

For the cost of a round here, you wont be getting better value in the Chicago area. I think the way the course plays is very fun. Probably the only course in Chicago area that is not completely flat. They dont typically overbook the course so it plays well too. The singular reason I did not reate course conditions a 5/5 is becuase there are two holes that boarder/are inside some woods or tree area and the grounds are covered with acorns, sticks, dried mud and no grass so if you slightly miss the green, then you get screwed over. If they fixed these holes, somehow, id be playing here every weekend

Back Yard

To be honest, it felt like I was playing in my back yard. This is a good thing. If I could have a course, this would be years of cool. Challenging and fun. I was able to have a small bit of success. But like any course, golf showed up and was very out of my mind with some shots that didn’t go well. The resort was full of respectful and timely service. We checked in early and was not met with deer in the headlight looks of confusion. Atmosphere was a pleasure to be in. Many activities to do and constantly something going on there. Really enjoyed our stay and play.

Hidden Chicagoland gem

Eaglewood is a great place to go if you have a mixed group of low and high handicappers. It’s an opportunity for both fun and challenge. Clean. World class food and beverage, and great staff.

Worthwhile

This course is a little off the beaten path, so perhaps it doesn't get as much thought as some. Great staff. The course has a good layout and is maintained fairly well. Good value.

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Short, short, and short

Way to short of a course to be considered a real 18 hole course, might have enough land to make a decent 9 hole course. Every hole is on top of another hole and just short and tight. I played in late fall but I imagine this course being very well kept during regular golf season, deep bunkers and tricky greens. Glad it was winter rates as I would not pay the summer rates.

Decent shape

Course is looking alright for Nov 20th, greens needed some work to fix ball marks, rough patches, etc, and also the greens were a bit run down but for the $24 hot deal it was a good day. Definitely would not pay more than $30 personally for this course this time of the year.

Slow Play

I played in the middle of the day on a Tuesday and I didnt even get to finish my round due to slow play, It took me, who played alone, almost 2 hours to play the front 9 and i didnt make it past 14 on the back before having to leave. I would sit in my cart for a solid 10 minutes between holes. It was terrible and not worth the money spent

Eaglewood

I love Eaglewood, but I rarely have the round which I think I should. This is because of the greens. Englewood is a relatively short course and so, to keep up the degree of difficulty, the greens have a lot of undulation. Routinely I have ended up with 40+ putts. Not this time! I ended up with 5 one putts and no 3 putts. Sincerely hope that I can continue along this line!
