Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6017 yards
Slope 120
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.

Play is too slow

Maybe a short, one page written handout (or post it in the carts) about golf etiquette. Like....really....some people wait for the players in front to get on the green before they tee off.

Not a bad course to build confidence yet be challeneged

Eaglewood is a resort course, short but well laid out.
Some interesting holes and fun to play
Greens could be better maintained, shaggy and a bit inconsistent green to green as far as play and roll

Short w/ Good Elevation

Eaglewood is one of my favorite "easier" courses in the area. At just over 6,000 yards this very generous par-72 leaves you feeling good about yourself after 18 holes. What I love most about this course are all of the elevated tee boxes. The front 9 really stands to me. The only drawbacks of this course are how tightly-packed it is (beware of incoming balls) course) the almost always "dazed" starter that doesn't seem to know how to efficiently get groups out. Beyond that, I am a big fan of Eaglewood and think it's a great value.

Will NOT go back

After finishing the first 14 holes in just over 4 hours, we reached the nexus of tee boxes for holes 11, 15 and 18. My wife complained to one of 2, yes two rangers that were hanging around this area. The ranger actually began to ARGUE with my wife that "we should expect this, it's busy", and "that's pretty good for a weekend". He finally went ahead and asked the group in front of us to speed up. They picked up the pace and we finished in just under 5 hours. But the pace for the last 4 holes was a good 15 minutes per hole. The first 14 were 17 minutes per hole or so. What this course apparently doesn't realize is that the 2 minutes per pace difference per hole is 30 minutes for the first 14 holes. A 4 1/2 hour round would have been pretty good. The sad part is this is a 6,000 yard course. Pretty easy and a nice layout. A 4 1/2 hour round should be very easy to manage. But not only do they not want to bother to manage it, they are willing to actually argue and debate the issue. In fact the ranger actually suggested "your wife should just tee off". So arguing over slow play and being sexist will keep us from going back to what is actually a nice little layout. "Oh we don't bother the outings for slow play". Wow! Simply wow.

Good Value

Booked a tee time an hour before on a Sunday Afternoon. It was a great value for what we payed, the staff was very friendly. The worst part about it was that it was such a nice day pace of play was really slow because everyone else was out playing as well.

Slow for a Saturday

Went off at 9:52, the starter was very eager to keep us to that time slot. Finished the first 3 holes in an hour and twenty. Course was horribly backed up from the start. I shot a 39 on the front, but it took more that 3 hours just for the front. Finished all 18 in over 5.5 hours.

Great maintenance on a difficult layout

We arrived early but the friendly staff accommodated our needs immediately. We are below average golfers, and several of us found the bunkers often; however, each one was in excellent shape. The rough was also manageable, but the left side of most holes were trouble. Nearly all the greens were angled but it was easy to get a read pretty early. We had a terrific time.

Nice course

A very short course, but the bunkers make you think. Conditions were good, but was expecting the greens to be a bit quicker. For $30, it's a good value.

The course is in excellent shape. Its not a long course but if played from the tips it can make for a good round. The greens where in excellent shape, They dont have too much break to deal with.

Practice course

Course in good shape. Play is extremely slow due to the fact it's an amateur level course. I highly recommend it for advanced beginners or if you're advanced further, it's a good iron practice. Holes are very short even the par 5's. Prepare to spend some time out there!!

Friendly Staff

All the staff went above and beyond to make your day at the course the best. Course was clearly taken care of, however players are not very respectful of the course and do not rake traps or fix ball marks. Resort is absolutely beautiful and pool and jacuzzi was way to decompress after a day of 36 holes!

Fun layout

Eaglewood course has a nice mix of short and long holes. Fun for the older or female golfer, but a nice challenge from the tips.
Unfortunately, this same quality sometimes attracts participants that have a less than desirable knowledge of, and skill for, the game of golf.
Accordingly, be prepared to keep in close contact with the beer cart.
