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.

Itasca's sleeper course in a good way

Really gotta come out to this course more often. Eaglewood is a great course to play not insanely challenging but not easy by any means. Course has a nice layout for a lefty I always struggle with their 16th hole love it.

Used to love this course, a bit dissapointed after my last round

This was one of my fav courses to get out and golf. Most of the time on Mondays. Nice layout a bit challenging well taken care of and somewhat affordable at times. My cousins and bother in law came from out of town. I was bragging about this golf course so I decided to take them here. Was never informed or told in anyway that the greens were being airificating.. well that wasnt fun at all. We are average golfers and of course that messed with our game, also made me look kinda bad after bragging to my family that came out of town so much about this course. Would have not taken them there if I knew the greens were being aired.

Hidden Gem

Eaglewood Golf Course is our "go to" course if we want to play close by and still enjoy the challenging layout and very reasonable green fees. Close to the expressways and centrally located, I highly recommend this course to any golf buff.

i don't keep score because i suck, but i do keep track of how many balls i lose and i only lost one . so as far as i am concerned i played great.

bring your best driver and your low numbered irons because there are a lot of par 5's.

staff is excellent very friendly.

Nice course layout, but short

First time playing the course, and I was happy with the value and course layout. No leaves in the trees yet, so it was probably a bit easier than a summer round. Winds were around 20mph, so added to the challenge. Although the course was short, yardage wise, we played from the blacks (which I don't normally play) and it was still challenging since the fairways were not wide open, there were a lot of fairway sand traps, and targets were well protected by trees, bunkers, and water. All in all, a good round for the money, and I'd go back. Pace of play was fairly slow, but it was the first sunny and 70's Sunday in April, so I expected no less.

February chicagoland golf

Very enjoyable day at Eaglewood... course is in good shape, considering its middle of February.... always enjoy this short executive style layout, all 18 hole rounds here should finish in less than 3.5 hours...a good 4some could easily play it in 3... wish I could remember the beverage cart employees name, she was excellent. Not only did she understand the etiquette of driving her cart, but she was truly dependable and professional, her kindness and customer service skills are a great example of what all employees in the hospitality business should aspire to be...thanks again Eaglewood, I'm sure I'll be seeing u soon!

Frustrated

Booked a 9:12 tee time. Didn't get off until 9:30 because of slow play of the outing scheduled before us. Took over 4 hours to play 13 holes before we were overtaken by a shotgun start by another outing. Never had a chance to finish the round. Demanded and got a full refund. Suggestion: Don't sell the tee times if a massive outing is taking over the course in the afternoon or have the rangers speed up pace of play.

Eaglewood Review

I haven't played this course in close to 30 years. While it's shorter than most 18-hole courses, it was challenging enough. The only recommendation I would make would be to have coolers of water available periodically as is done at most courses. The only option for water was to purchase bottles from a cooler at two of the holes or from the beverage cart.

Nice day of golf

Executive style course as most par 4's are shorter than many other courses I have played. Good place for couples to play. High handicap golfers may find this course a little easier to play. There were a fair number of "hackers" on the course so balls tend to cross fairways quite a bit. Course was in nice shape and the staff is friendly. Stay and play packages are nice. We booked golf on Golf Now and then bought a package to stay the night at the resort. Course has music entertainment and the food at the restaurant was very good.

Worst staff, even worse value

They ran out of power carts. Had 5 guys standing around the starter not doing any thing. They're letting carts go out into the parking lot instead of stopping them for the new golfers. They double booked the course. Took 6.75 hours to finish 16 holes. What a joke. Never again. Rude staff, looked at us when we asked where the carts where. Teed off 25 min late because we were waiting in a cart lol.

Nice Course

Perfect day to be on a golf course. Played with my wife. The course was in great shape. Fast greens, fair rough, nice fairways. The course was perfect for my wife and challenging enough for me to enjoy.
