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
Repair divots and ball marks and this would be an A+
A lil on the short side but lovely design. Just need some old school etiquette needs to be enforced.
Love eaglewood
It’s a little pricey for what you get but it’s a great course. This is an old 1920s course that’s grown up and been reworked. It’s a short course so we played from the tips, which If you’re a decent player is what you want to do. It’s a tight layout like most old courses so if you slice or hook off the tee you’re gonna make some new friends. Overall I love this course and will definitely be back.
A great find
I had not played golf in over decade until late last year. I decided to pick up my clubs and get my son involved in the game. Eaglewood was a great find. I have now played the course about a dozen time. The staff has always been very friendly and accommodating. The course is perhaps shorter than many and water does not come into play often. But the course has a quite a few strategically placed bunkers and difficult greens that make it more than challenging enough. Pace of play has never been an issue—typically we do not have to wait to tee off at holes and when we do the wait is very short.
Greens in rough shape
Friendly and helpful staff. The course is good shape except for the greens which are riddled in ball marks and pits. This was strange as the fairways and tee boxes were in good shape.
Friendly - nearby course
Staff was excellent from check in until departure. Course was in good shape, pace was consistent, not exceptionally long, good scores attainable.
Too tight / short course
Heard “fore” every other hole we were on. 18 holes jammed into a small area. We shouldn’t have to worry about balls flying by us every other tee box.
Terrible Greens
The layout wasn’t too bad. Lots of elevation and sand(dirt/mud actually). The greens were horrendous. A handful of mini golf hole placements with ridiculous angles. I’m not sure they’ve been taken care of all year either.
A beautiful course that doesnt have a lot of room. Tee boxes and greens are on top of each other. Greens not maintained well. Not a great place to play on the weekend
Couples Foursome
We chose this course because it's short enough to be playable by average players yet challenging enough for more experienced players. Great for couples. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Starter was very conversational. Course is in great shape for the fairly heavy use.
Great day
Took 3 golfers who had never played here before. They all enjoyed the course. Not too hard, and not too easy.. Pace of play was perfect.. Fun day!
Decent course
This was a fun course to play. Had some elevation changes on a few holes that were fun. Was one of the pricier rounds we've played, but felt the course was not as well maintained and didn't offer as much as others we've played recently. It's a very tight layout. But overall, it was an enjoyable outing.
