Eaglewood Resort & Spa
Rating Snapshot
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
Disappointed
The conditions of the greens and fairways had me surprised the course was even open.
Short but challenging
It is a short course even when you play the back tees. How ever, very narrow fairways. It's also hilly in some spots, making it hard to see the greens some hitting down and some hitting up. I usually plays pretty quick. The drinks are always good, but very expensive, a round for four is 20 to 35 dollars.
Eaglewood Resort Golf
This course would be 5 stars if the greens were in better condition
A nice experience
I play with three of my buddies yesterday. The tee sheet was full, and the pace of play wasn't bad. We booked on Golfnow for $25 a guy plus cart as I'm sure everyone did. We finished in 4 1/2 hours but pace of play didn't seem terribly slow. We enjoyed the day. The condition of the fairways and rough was good. Some of the greens were lost from the winter but that was expected. It was a great day for the cost, not to mention $2 hot dogs at the turn.
course conditions
This winters cold weather really messed up all the golf courses. It's going to take a lot of TLC to get these golf courses up and running.
Eaglewood
18 holes in under 3 1/2 hours. Inexpensive with in-line deal. 14out of 18 greens were in terrible condition. Some kind of blight, have played other courses in the areas this year and greens were fine so it can't be the snow. Greens have to be repaired or replaced. It's a shame, nice layout; fun course.
This course was good layout
I enjoyed my golfing, but temperature was a little down and I was not warming up enough.
Anyway sunny sky and what can I expect in chicago weather ? Nice outing.
Eagle Wood
Great course. Scenic and enough of a challenge. I enjoy the course.
Poor quality
The greens were aerated and we were not notified in the information prior to booking. Also, it was cart path only which increased the time of play. In addition, the fairways were under repair and in horrible condition.
It's sad that we were able to look through the trees and see the beautiful Medinah Golf course only a few feet away while playing such a horrible course that is not ready for the season.
Brown fairways and greens
After the hard winter both the fairways and greens were in pretty rough shape
First time out this season
Enjoyed our first time out. The course was crowded,but moved at a good pace.
Eaglewood
Early season conditions, but all the greens were open. Overall a fairly challenging course that was a lot of fun. Wound definitely play here again.
Eaglegood and Eaglebad
Nice layout with elevated tee boxes on many holes . The course has been struggling with the condition of greens for a while . They shut a few down the last few years for rehab , but some major problems remain on a number of holes . The staff in the pro shop are great , but bring in some outside help for the greenskeeper. This could be a great course with better greens.
Good course
Great course! Well maintained.
Greens are a little fast
sport
The course is not bordered by streets or homes, giving it a resort feel which is rare in the Chicago suburbs. This course has a history of problems with many of its greens. These greens have been replaced but are not in proper condition yet. Course is short, even from the back tees.
Probably wont go back
I played this course the day before and liked holes 4-7 and noone was on the course so went back the next day at the same time to replay but my patients took a little longer than expected and was going to be 20 minutes late and called andrew at club and to my surprise, he wouldnt let me play! Stating that too many golfnow customers abuse the tee time on hot deals. Ive never been refused before and by the end of phone call was at the course and noone was on the course again and there was another golfnow hot deal online in the next couple of minutes that was still unsold. I think he could have easily let me play! Wont go back.
This course is good for all levels of golfers.
My partner asked me to play at the course again, because he felt that the course is friendly with some degree of difficulty at some holes.
Greens were aerated, and had a sand covering on half of them
We should have been warned about the aerated greens or at least been discounted.
Beautiful Resort Setting
Very nice surroundings and resort setting, the course was in overall good shape. However, several of the greens were half sand due to what looks like brown patches that they tried to recover but failed. We played from the Black tees and the track stilled played pretty short, mainly driver then PW on 75% of the holes which got boring. It is worth playing once and probably would play again but only if got a great discount on Golfnow.
