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
Short track
Slow play, short course, holes are very close together. With the exception of 2 or 3 greens, the course was in good shape.
Condition
We had bad Storm day before back nine was closed. I like course laying out.
Eaglewood Golf Resort - Hidden Gem
Never knew this course was here! Not a long course but will make you think off the tee. Placement is important. Great value with my Hot Deal!
Great Course
Pace of play was fast. Never felt rushed and the course was in great shape. There’s a nice restaurant with a great patio area for beers after your round.
Hidden gem
This course has everything. Up, down all around great course. Been playing it for many, many years and every single year it gets a little better. The best thing about this course is the staff. Friendly kind and courteous people all around. Top notch all the way. You’ll use every club you have in your bag and be challenged by some of the most diabolical greens anywhere, but its all fun. Pure fun!
Hidden Gem!
Great value for the money and an excellent 19th hole. Not the longest course you will play but it will challenge even the most skilled golfer. Highly recommended.
Challenging Course, Great value
Highly recommended to play the back tees, it makes a challenging round. If you play the forward tees it is a completely different course and much easier.
Normally one of my favorites...
Got an incredible deal to play twilight at 3:20pm on Thursday. I should've known it was too good to be true. I was looking forward to having a real shot to finish the round with it not getting dark until 8pm. Unfortunately, I was held up on my start for 20 minutes only to be paired with 3 guys walking... I had a cart. Very poor work by the starter as I really could've been paired with the group that went out in front of us, as everyone was behind schedule thanks to a poor job by the starter. I had to call it quits on 13. Unfortunate because I always have found this course to be a rare hidden gem in the area.
fun course / nice people
We always enjoy playing here as well and enjoying a refreshment on the 19th hole.. The only problem was the pace of play. we had a 4some in front of us and nobody for at least 2 holes in front of them. Beside that the course was in very good condition for this time of year -- especially the greens
Short course
This was our first time playing at eaglewood resort. For this time of year (April) and temps in the 50's the conditions of the course were good. Overall nice course but short. You do not need a driver for most of the par 4's. However it was fun to play.
Great local course
I played here several years ago but it seems like they have really have done a lot of improvements lately. Great course layout and good pace of play.
