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.

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.

Tough for a Short course

I wasn't too sure about Eaglewood when my Step son asked me to play this course because it was so short for a par-72. But when we finished, you realize this course really tests your short game and putting more than trying to bomb shots. A lot of Par-4 holes are 300 yards roughly. So if you're a average driver of 220 - 230 yards all of the second shots become 9 irons or less. But that is the challenge. You have to have a good short game with some steady putting because these greens are small on some holes and undulating on others. Layout is tight where errant shots get very close to people on the next hole. Overall the course was in really nice shape. For $50 I likely would go somewhere else that has a longer layout but I did enjoy playing the course. And I also found my short game needs a lot of work.

Walked

Consolidate groups?

Got a $26 Golf Now rate as a single. Since it was cart path only after heavy rains, decided to walk with a push cart. Was paired with a twosome on the front nine with a twosome in front and behind us. My original twosome were just going to play 9 holes, so maybe it would have been helpful to pair me with another group. Lots of elevation changes, some narrow fairways as well. Played the front in 1:50 and the back in 2:30ish Bunkers were understandably wet, but mostly ok. Greens ran smooth. Congested back nine with some 5 homes talking/betting on the tee. Didn't see a ranger after the 5th hole.

Would play again for a good rate, maybe just not a weekend.

For the price, this course was incredible. Very short course so scores will be low. Would definitely come back for the price and course layout

Great value (I only paid $18 for 18 holes)

Upon arriving, I already felt that I had found a tremendous deal on GolfNow. The facilities were above average and appeared newer than what I have come to expect at many park district courses. Also, I only paid $18 for 18 holes, so you can't beat that. The front nine was not very challenging. I felt that it served as a way to get all types of golfers on the course and get them rolling along. The back nine was more challenging, as there were some elevation changes that required blind shots into the greens. The only negative is that I was constantly looking over my shoulder, because the tee boxes are often very close to the greens. I had two errant balls almost hit me on the 3rd tee box and that was emblematic of a potential issue for the course. Bottom line, it can be a good course for those that can't hit the ball miles and from what I have seen on GolfNow, deals can be had for 18 holes.

Nice track, great staff

Pace of play was great. 3 hrs and 15 min. Awesome golfnow rate for a Saturday afternoon. Only gripe were the greens. People need to fix their ball marks! I Fixed at least 5 per green in addition to my own. They could be great greens if only my fellow golfers would take the time to fix them. Staff was very nice especially Sarah the cart girl! Will play this course again!

Good Conditions With Interesting Layout

First time played. Enjoyed the course layout and conditions. If handicap is 15 or under, play from the tips instead from the silvers (white). Silver tees make the course short. Will be back.

Nice course at Eaglewood

The Eaglewood Resort golf course is nicely laid out. Each and every hole provides an interesting challenge. The strange thing about the course is the fact it is short;however, do not let that fool you with its difficulty. Be prepared to use each club in your bag. Would highly recommend if you have not played. Thank You Eaglewood for the fun experience you provided. Angelo D

Nice course. Good value

Didn't expect much our first time out here with such a value rate. Very pleasantly surprised by all aspects. Pace was great for an afternoon time. Course in excellent condition. A little tight but plays fair. Staff welcoming and helpful. Glad I found this value and will be back.

Short but interesting

Enjoyable course. Many short par 4s that help with your short game if you can drive it close. Pace was good although the twosome in front of us had no concept of playing at a reasonable pace. I've played here many times and its always in great shape. Elevated tee boxes make driving the green on 270-290 yard par 4s that much easier.

Short, slow when crowded

The course is nice, about 6K yards. The first few holes just go out and back form the clubhouse so it gets backed up quickly if busy - we waited probably 10-15 minutes per hole for the first 9.

The course was in good shape, it's packed in tight so I hear more "four" in this round than I'll hear all season. All this being said, it's nice - I'd say worth $35-40 riding - don't walk it's slow enough. It's called a resort - don't understand who would go to resort by o hare airport but...would play again if I got a deal.
