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.

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.

Repair divots and ball marks and this would be an A+

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.

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.
