Eaglewood Resort & Spa
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
They had a 90 degree rule in effect for no reason.
Two greens were in poor shape, but overall the conditions were good. The weather was beautiful so the course was crowded.
Very nice course with a great staff
A couple of the greens need to be spruced up but overall we had a great time on a good course.
great bargain
Well worth the 39 dollars to play at. Bunkera were well maintained. The course is fairly short but still in great shape
Horrible First Experience
I finished this course in 5 1/2 hrs for a short course is not acceptable. When we contacted the club house to send rangers to speed up the pace, we were told that there were 2 rangers out there but we didn't see a single ranger during my 5 1/2 hr time. It was a horrible experience at the course. Would not recommend.
Beautiful Course
This is the second time I play this course and I was still amazed at how beautiful and well designed it is. Challenging yet enjoyable to play. The fairways and greens were very well maintained and the staff was very friendly and approachable. I accidentally booked my tee time for the wrong day but the desk clerk at the pro shop switched over my date and was able to play without a hiccup. The best part was that he did it without me having to ask for it and went out of his way to accomodate my group.
Eaglewood
This was the 2nd time I've played the course in the last 2 years - the greens on 16 & 17 have been "under repair" both times. Give yourself an automatic 2 putt and save yourself the aggravation of putting on the shaggiest surface you've ever putted on.
Proximity of tees and greens is very uncomfortable - you feel like you should be wearing a helmet.
We paid $38.50 with cart on a Sunday with GolfNow. While that's a great price for golf in Chicagoland on a weekend - we also got what we paid for.
Enjoyable round, but...
Enjoyed playing this course, for the most part. Only problem was that the abundance of bunkers, which looked nice, were mostly a thin layer of sand on top of what felt like hard pan dirt. My wedge merely skidded along the sand and I skulled just about every shot, and I'm usually a pretty decent bunker player.
There seemed to be little speed consistency from green to green, but the recent hot weather may have been a contributing factor, although I haven't seen the same problem with other area courses.
A nice Course.
Course well maintained (I give them a pass for a temporary green on #17). Great facilities and friendly staff. Super price.
Short course, not well maintained.
This resort course looks and feels like a resort course. This is a short couse - Mostly par 4's that play from about 300-400 yds. The fairways are in fair condition. Some areas required new sodding, as the old patches had died weeks ago, and in other spots of the fairway, the ground was as hard as rock. A few greens actually had dried dirt and sand patches. Making it very difficult to roll a nice putt. Overall, if you are looking a cheap, easy round this might interest you. If you're more accustom to playing well maintained courses, you may want to look else where.
Great
Great course for the money. Great staff and challenging back nine for beginners.
communction between golf course and golfnow is not so good .
eaglewood resort they don't have my reservation something was wrong so i gave my confirmation number .
Tough little resort course
I expected an easy resort course with wide fairways and little trouble. What I found was a course of only 6000 yards but it makes up for it by lots of water and sand. Course was in an excellent condition. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely play there again.
Excellent course for price
Course was beautiful only problem was they repaired two greens the day before we played other than that it was worth every penny. Short holes that make birdies seem easy.
Excellent Course
Course is nicely design, The bunkers around greens makes more challenging - over all it a very nice course
Tight course layout
The course wasn't too bad but what I'll remember about the course is that the layout is tight. Many of the tee boxes were right next to the previous green to the point of not even having to move the cart. I was almost hit three times during my round while I was waiting to tee off. I prefer courses that have a little more room between holes.
Great features, longest round I've ever played
Beautiful course, but the longest round I've ever played.
A good time...feel good golf.
Like the course a lot...easy start , but
catches you on the back nine, makes you
think you are almost a real golfer!
In great shape.
Great course
Eaglewood golf course is great and fun to play. I look forward to playing soon!
Average but fun
It was a pretty average but still decent course. Greens were relatively flat though.
A fun round of golf.
A especially fun place for couples to enjoy a round of golf together.
