Eaglewood's hilly, accuracy-demanding layout rewards players of all skill levels with well-maintained fairways, traps, and back-to-front sloping greens. Friendly staff and consistent four-hour rounds make this classic course an outstanding value for Chicagoland golfers.

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.

Bring your own water to drink!

Their are no water drinking stations on the course. You will die of THIRST or have to buy their bottled water. Their roughs are too high. If you hit one into the rough, you are going to spend a lot of time looking for your ball, because it buries itself below the norm.

Not bad, but the greens were in horrible shape

All in all, Eaglewood is a nice course that is reasonably-priced and close to my home (within 5 miles). It's a fairly easy course with not many obstacles to avoid when playing. I understand that most courses are just getting ready for golfing season, but it seems like Eaglewood had fallen far behind in that process. Granted, they DID provide each of us with a free hot dog and can of beer due to the greens being damaged from the recent winter, however we all would have rather paid for the hot dog and beer in order to avoid watching our putts jump and bounce off of the holes and blemishes on the greens. Also, the grass didn't seem to be cut very well, as finding our golf balls after a hit was quite the task (and we didn't hit into the rough very often). It was an okay experience and yes, I will probably return to golf. However I am still hoping they step it up a bit and get their course truly ready for their customers.

For early May, the course is in better shape than in prior years. Rates (for seniors) are fair and the only things missing are so common amenities like free water on the course to stay hydrated and a convenient half-way house open at all times.

Short track , low score obtainable , fun

Short track , condition of greens are rather poor on some holes , but management is aware of this and discounting play.

Very nice facility overall and for the high handicapper this course is going to make you feel great , few places to get in trouble and a score in the high 80's is obtainable.

Fun place -

Resort atmosphere.

I did not like the greens because it was very slow and had a disease.
They offered free food but it took me 15-20 min. to get a hot dog, that's not good when your trying to keep pace.
Some holes to tee box where close together.

A beautiful course with the rolling terrain and big trees. It had a hard winter on the greens but they are coming back slowly.

Eaglewood

Had a pleasant day of golf. The course is short for long players but the layout and scenery makes up for it. Greens took a hit this winter but looks like they're coming back well. Will have to come back and play once the greens grow in.

Slow Play

While it was car path only, the group ahead of us had several holes open in front of them. We waited on the tee and the fairway every hole.. A ranger came by several times but never talked to us and appeared to never talk to them.

Good Condition early season

It rained the previous 2 days, and have had bad weather recently. Course is in surprisingly good shape. Though, the greens are a bit rough. Great course overall.

Greens were basically unplayable

the greens were completely horrible to be honest. could hit a putt without it hopping 50 times left and right before it got the hole. had probably 10 birdie looks within 20 feet and made 1 of them cuz it cant hold the line at all. everything else was pretty solid though for the $. anything over $30 here is a waste of money forsure

Course is only good for practice

The course has boasted of renovations. I asked when I checked in, and was told some of the greens had been redone. My assessment after playing here once last year is that two greens have been redone, while many are still diseased. Some fairways, too.

This course is pretty much only good for practicing, and only if the price is $25 or lower.

Good value

The course is beat up right now... a lot of the greens are in bad shape but I teed off at 6:40 in the morning for around 30 bucks with a cart which I thought was about right for the course. I wouldn't pay full price to play here though until the greens are back in shape.

Horrible course conditions!! Rude staff and not a good experience.

The green complexes have to be the absolute worst in the chicagoland area if not the state of Illinois or even the entire midwest. I would guess that 14 or 15 of the greens were not playable. It was a horrible experience to hit the green and not be able to even find any type of path that actually had grass between the ball and hole. I asked the Director of Golf Operations about the course 's overall condition after the round and instead of an explanation or apology I was personally attacked and told I had no right to even ask about the conditions or get additional satisfaction. The Golf pro was completely rude in every way possible and could not even have a polite conversation or reach any compromise on a future date to play at a reduced rate. The customer service was the worst I've ever experienced in any type golf setting!!!!!!

bad greens

This short course is very appealing to the eye; until you get on greens. They are absolutely horrible. Every forest preserve and park district course has better putting surfaces. That's my only complaint. I feel that the greens cost me at least three strokes. I was told by someone there that the price will be going to $67 this summer. If so; I will not be back until the greens or as they should be called the browns are re-sodded

Decent course

This course has potential but it is really beat up from the harsh winter. The greens are currently in awful condition but I expect that things will improve as the warmer weather rolls in. My biggest complaint was the lack of etiquette being enforced by the ranger on the course. Several groups were extremely slow and all over the course, several times we had a cart drive on to our fairway, without even looking, to look for their balls as someone in our group was about to tee off. We saw people in sand traps hacking away 5, 6, 7 times and then just walk away without raking just leaving a crater behind. Maybe it was just a bad weekend but I don't think we'll be coming back to this course.

Not bad but not worth full price

Good play for the price we paid but wouldn't go back and pay full price for it. Course was nice and the greens were kept up well but nothing outstanding to have to go back.

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.
