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.

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.
Course about par
The course was fairly well maintained, except the sand traps which were missing actual sand. The greens were really fast. The course plays short, even from the black champion tees. Be careful though, and watch for flying balls, tee boxes are close to greens and some fairways run right next to each other in different directions. I had a good round but was paired with three alcoholics that drank like 22 beers and were doing shots causing our round to take 5 hours.
Hidden Gem in Chicago
Great course tucked away by O'Hare and Medinah. Worth every penny of the $30 despite it being a 6,000yd course. Challenging holes that make you think - not just driver, iron, putter-type holes. Well kept greens with THICK rough. Need to be accurate with irons or you will be sorry. Great thinking-man's course that I look forward to playing again and again. Also, staff is super friendly.
Great course - nice vantage points
My brother and I traveled to Eaglewood on an overcast, misty day and as such there was absolutely nobody behind us and only a few groups playing in front of us. Needless to say, it was a great experience.
What I loved best about this course were the challenging greens, high tee-off vantage points on some holes, and (what I thought) long fairways. Overall, would definitely recommend this to my golf buddies/fellow golfers. We took 4 hours when we could have played it in 3.5 - towards the end we caught up with the groups in front of us. We are not great golfers by any means (typically get anywhere between par to 2 above par) but we're relatively quick.
hackin away
great course, great condition. wish the bar would have been open before, 9am, and I thought it was a bit pricey at 59.00..but had a blast as usual...
This course is great for the avg. golfer who loves this game. The tee box are set up nice and the greens are challenging.
I use to play this course back in the 80"s. "It was great then and it's still great today". I would love to make it my home course, but I live in Hyde Park. A must play!
Tough course that was a good price.
I really enjoyed the staff and the way the course was set up. The shorter holes and dog legs were tough, I think I hit my driver only 5-6 times. Made things interesting, only complaint was the two holes where the greens were messed up and they had the temporary greens. Pretty much ruined the hole and its not realy early in the season. Kind of figured they would have those things finished by now. However I would go back and play there.
Course have picturesque views from almost every tee box.
If not for holes 16 & 17 greens under repair and didn't start raining when we were on hole 15, this would have been an excellent golf outing. The staff were super friendly. Me and my golf buddy agreed, we'll be back !!!
Short course, but fun. Some nice holes. Fairways are in great shape; some greens were not optimal.
