Eaglewood Resort & Spa
Rating Snapshot
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.

Only took me 30 years! Photo submitted by rjhmu on 11/04/2012
Great
Great. Just opened last week. Nice to get out. Greens were nice. Dumb placement of pins but nice.
Well Run
Enjoyed the course. Teed off ahead of schedule and played the first 3 holes. Paired up with twosome and played three holes. They let me play through and I completed through 7th hole. Joined up with another single and we played several holes. I then finished on my own and enjoyed the course layout. I wish the course had been better marked as there were no tee boxes placed on the course and I had to use my gps to line up with distance reported on scorecard. Great time and avoided the rain.
We enjoyed the course and the challenging sloped greens. The par 4s that are shorter are well guarded with bunkers and elevations. Late November golf is always a bonus. Will play this course again next year.
No signage
No signs on the entire course telling which hole is what. If you never played here you'll get lose since there no signs.
Short but Fun and Challenging
Short course (6000+) from the tips, but layout and greens make it a challenging course, especially when you don’t hit them straight.
Not extremely challenging. Yet the greens were difficult. Very well kept and pace was good.
Fun Course
This is one of our favorite courses. They did an great job of removing the leaves an d the conditions were excellent.
Beautiful Fall Scenery but....
The course layout was really poor. All par 4’s were really short approx 300 yds to the green from the tee box. Green’s were in bad condition. Grass was uneven and with a few bumps here and there which made your ball roll to different directions despite reading your line. Pace of play was really bad, we played a twosome and it took us about 4 and half hours to complete. Tee boxes were badly placed and felt like you could get hit with balls coming from all directions. Fairways were in really bad shape as well. Overall beautiful scenery for a weeding but poor golf course. Not worth the $70!! Not at all!! It felt like they forced an 18 hole golf course when the space called for a 9 hole course. Save your money and go play somewhere else. If you want to see nice trees play here.
Worth a play if you get a good deal, but otherwise forgettable
Older course on a suburban resort, both of which have probably seen better days. Very tight layout which had us ducking errant tee shots all day. Fair amount of elevation change compared to your standard Chicago course. Very short. Course is a little beat up and many bunkers were dirt. I probably won’t be back.
