Eaglewood Resort & Spa
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
Second time playing
Pretty good course for the price. Definitely has its challenges but also a few easy short holes to even out the difficulty. Only a few OB zones since the holes run alongside each other so you could also end up in another fairway with a hard slice. Also a lot of the bunkers are unbelievably steep and not even worth trying to hit out of sometimes. I will say the course was in pretty great shape for late in the season so it was an enjoyable round all around.
Great course
I love this course and play it every time I’m in the Chicago area on Business. It’s a short drive or Uber from Ohare great lay out and course conditions. It’s not terribly long but offers great opportunity to score with several reachable. Risk/ reward par fours. Excellent vale for the money with a great restaurant/bar and connected to a wonder Frank Llyod Wright designed resort .
All and a great play
Cooler and Windier Weather Arrives
With the cooler and windier fall weather arriving in the past week, I wanted to give myself a short course to play today. My previous visits here have usually been enjoyable so I was looking forward to another go on what I find to be an easy track. Since I was playing as a single, the starter was kind enough to let me jump out ahead of several foursomes that had teed off just a few minutes before I arrived. Thankfully this allowed me to play the front 9 rather quickly and when I encountered the group ahead of me, I just took the opportunity to practice chipping and putting while giving them space.
I thought the course was in decent condition especially the greens which were rolling well for a late season round. The tees and fairways were a bit shaggy compared to a number of the other courses that I play, but overall they were still in decent shape for the most part.
My only complaints about the course conditions would be: A) most of the bunkers I noticed around the course appeared to be washed out and/or in need of more sand, and B) there were a few hole locations cut on 2 or 3 greens that were in unfair / illegal locations. As a former assistant superintendent, I have cut countless tournament hole locations that are difficult, but that's not equivalent to the several illegal hole location that I encountered today.
Flying Golf
This is a great Drive and wedge course. If you hit the ball really high you might hit a passing plane landing!
Great course
I truly enjoyed the banquet, food and the golf course. Great service and staff. The hotel is beautiful. The rooms are tremendous. We truly enjoyed our weekend at this great golf resort.
Course kept up . Short course but challenging.. T boxes and greens close to each other. Many fores heard throughout the day.
Course is in great shape but the holes are on top of each other and you must be careful otherwise you might get hit by a golf ball. Recommend to play during the week and not at peak times.
Great course
Beautiful and well-maintained. Adequately long and challenging.
consistently goooood
The staff is outstanding----can not say enough good things about all the staff working here--we consider this our "home" course mainly because of how we are treated.
the fairway and greens are always in good shape . we do consider the #2 green somewhat unfair. bottom line, we love playing here
Fun layout with a lot of character
Had the opportunity to stop by Eaglewood during the BMW Championship at next-door Medinah. It's a fun layout with a unique mix of holes and a lot of character. Sloping greens and deep bunkers are solid defenses for the 6,000-yard, par 72, as are three longer par-3s. It's a busy course (30,000 rounds annually), but the staff manages to keep the turf in strong shape. Director of golf operations David Fazio and assistant general manager Adam Klos are very accommodating. The Spring Brook Creek comes into play on No. 6, as winds its way through five area courses: Medinah, Eaglewood, Itasca, The Preserve, and Butler National. In a suburban area with a lot of golf, Eaglewood is worth a visit.
