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.

Pin placement
Not typical…but. Pin placement…impossible. Steep side hills with tightly cut greens with.
Nice coarse but very rude ranger
First off the course manager and starter were very pleasant individuals. Paid to play and have a good time with a friend on our off day. Having a good time until Ranger John stalked us and harassed us because we each decided to hit an extra ball off the tee. …we were FOUR HOLES AHEAD of the next group ( his buddies). We are not scratch golfers but we didn’t know we were in front of PGA players coming up on our rear end (which his friend were not). He followed us for about 3 holes watching every shot hit. I don’t know about others, but to make comments about how fast his friends are and we should speed up when we definitely were not holding up anyone is pretty rude.
Extremely slow play, course poorly maintained
This course layout is short but very nice. Unfortunately, course is poorly maintained, pace of play is abysmally slow and ranger non-existent. The starter had no idea what he is doing and let out groups of 5, which made for a 5 1/2 hour round. My round was only $24 with TeeOff discount but still found it overpriced for the slow play and poorly maintained course conditions.
The Wood
I really enjoy playing this course. Two issues however, Bunker condition (mixture of mud and sand, which could destroy your score with a mis-hit),. At times the course can get packed depending on the day, so plan to spend some extra time.
Not well kept whatsoever
For a $70 round on the weekend you would think the course itself would be maintained well but it didn’t seem like the course had been taken care of in years
Quality Course
Great course….only complaint was the tee boxes were not numbered for what hole it was and no diagram for what the hole looked like.
not the usual
we enjoy playing this course a lot, the staff is extremely friendly and make you feel welcome. This day they had an outing and by the 10th hole there were 3 groups waiting to tee off with 2 more groups on the fairway. The front 9 was extremely slow--almost 3 hours.
Thanks to the staff they let us play the front 9 over again in order to avoid the back nine ---greatly appreciated as we finished the front 9 in 90 minutes---we will be back because the course is good and the staff is outstanding
Lack of a starter
Lack of a starter may have resulted in bunched up groups...at one hole we had 8 people waiting to hit.
Not maintained
Greens and tee boxes need work. For the price I was expecting this course to be maintained better than it was.
