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.

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.

Mediocre at best

We started the round off fine, after about the 8th hole the ranger began circling us. Not just driving down the cart path, but like driving circles around our group on the grass and around us and then driving off and coming back in 5 minutes and doing it again. We had two beginners golfing with us but weren’t keeping the group behind us up by any means. At the 15th hole the ranger came up to me in a frustrated tone and told me we had to pick up the pace. I asked why since We were a whole hole ahead of the group behind us, and he just stated there was a time restriction and drove off. On the T box of the 16th hole the ranger was there waiting for us again and I asked him to please stop following/hovering around our group since he was frustrating everyone in the group and affecting our round. He told me he could go wherever he liked and drove off after I tee’d off and we didn’t see him again. For almost $70 a round it wasn’t quite worth that cost by any means and the ranger following us like a vulture made it a lot less enjoyable.

Should have been on pace of play

I love this course and it was my second time playing it. It's a great layout, challenging greens, great value for the price. However, no one seemed to be monitoring pace of play yesterday (which was surprising, because the first time we played they very much were). There was one group in front of us which was holding back the entire course and only seemed to let one group play through. This led to several instances on the back 9 of us watching their tee shots and waiting for them to clear, only to have the group behind us hit in to us while we were waiting for them to clear the green. On the 18th hole, with the sun setting, they hit their tee shot then stood in the middle of the fairway for about 10 minutes until we finally hit in to them to get them moving. Then when they finally cleared the green we hit our approach shots (now practically in the dark with the last group behind us hitting in to us), and they came back and picked up our balls. That alone was enough to knock 1 star off this particular round since no one was on top of that.

Gorgeous Course

Very pretty course, due to COVID the range was closed, but the course was fun to play, some reachable par 4s, but it did seem like some holes were better maintained than others. Overall would recommend 9/10.
