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.

Great course for a weekend golfer

The fairways were in great shape but some of the greens were a little beat up. The sand traps were deeper than most courses that we have played which made them very challenging. We would definitely play this course again!

Great condition, mediocre course

Course was in great shape, greens were a tad slow considering the quality of everything else. Numerous holes are drivable which makes pace of play super slow, sometimes tee boxes had 3 groups, I also played in a peak hour though. Courses are all very close and people were shooting balls across all fairways yelling foreeeeee

Where is the Ranger?????

Second time playing the course this year. Although short, like the layout and some holes are very challenging, especially with the large sand traps guarding many of the greens. Only negative and this is directed to fellow golfers - use a divot tool please. The greens have many ball divots that need to be repaired as over time, these unrepaired ball divots on the green will only damage the greens.

Now why the rating is only average. We had an early am tee time on Saturday. We were a twosome behind a foursome of beginners. On hole #8, a par 3, a foursome jumped holes (not sure where they came from) and started to play in front of our foursome ahead of us. Started to really drag and then saw the ranger near 10th tee box. Did not want to be bothered with what we had to say, was only there to see when the grill behind that tee box was going to be ready and we watched him drive up the 16 path and duck into the maintenance area. The beginners foursome in front took the pleasure of treating the back nine like a driving range only to hit numerous balls off each tee per player and then to continue this on all fairway shots. After we finished the par 3 13th, again saw the ranger, again not interested in what we had to say and informed us that the next hole was cart path only. After we hit our tee shots on 14, we noticed the same ranger sitting in his cart in the maintenance area, patrolling the 14th fairway, However, saw many groups in the 14th fairway area and Mr Ranger continuing to sit and do nothing. The weather began to turn on the 15th hole only to see our friendly ranger heading to the Pro Shop. If you have rangers, please tell them their responsibilities. And it is not to hang out and hunt for balls and take advantage of the perks of the course.

Great Course, Needs Respect

I love playing this course, it's easily one of my favorites. However, it needs some TLC. Divots on the fairways (some more like trenches, you guys need some lessons, haha), and unrepaired ball marks on the greens. Come on, these players need to take better care of the course when they play.

Too Short

Course is too short. We played from the tips and were able to drive on to green on a few of the par4's. Not a whole lot of long holes and there was even a par 3 that was 87 yards. A friend was able to throw a golf ball onto the green from the tee box! I think they need to make the course a bit longer to be a good course.

Good deal for the average golfer

The course plays quick. Finished in 4 hours. Greens are in poor shape with all the ball marks. Don't understand why guys don't fix them. Nice place food is good.
