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
Great 18 for the price!
i played for $20 with a cart on a sunday around noon. this is about the fourth time i've played there since fall broke. probably my go-to course while the season is winding down just to get some extra strokes in
This course has extreme value!!
Very helpful staff made this windy outing a great one!!
Enjoyable course to play
Our foursome enjoys playing Eaglewood and their Staff is friendly and helpful with good amenities. The course has one hole under repair and is almost finished. The fall leaf problem is well controlled and we're planning to revisit as long as Eaglewood is open!
Great value, friendly staff
Except for oneholethat is under repair, the course is in very good condition considering the summer drought and rain lately. This is not a very long course but challenging due to narrower fairways lined with trees. Great view from the club house/hotel
fun to play, challenging holes
couple of the greens were a little beat up otherwise couse in good shape for this time of year very few leafs really maintained well pro shop employees very helpful food was good and priced well weatherpermitting will play again beforeseasons end
nice course
Course is nice , some spots a little beat up but it is a resort course and new golfers forget to fix ball marks etc. Also it was fall golf.It would be very challenging with the trees in full bloom.
Short but challenging.
Relatively short, but trees and deep bunkers increase the difficulty. Played for $12 through Golfnow.com. Can't beat that rate, and didn't have to drive to BFE to play. Even had my first hole-in-one on #6!
Good and Bad
Super great price, staff was honest, course was average for time of year, except, seven greens burnt badly, others needed you to use driver to get it to the hole.
Not a long or difficult golf course.
The golf course is beautifully tree lined, with ample landing zones off the tee but with plentiful, deep sand bunkers awaiting off-line shots.
Good Value
A few of the greens were in rough shape, but all around an enjoyable round of 18.
good
I never had opportunity to play professional courses however I feel this course is always well groomed and staff upfront and helpful.
Course in fair shape; couple of greens very poor shape

Ryder Cup Atmosphere at Bargain Prices
While the old Nordic Hills has been face lifted by the Doral folks, Eaglewood is a sporty 6,000 yards from the back tees, but the course (because of the topography and proximity to Medinah) maintains a similar look and contour to its neighbor. Tall Oaks and Maples are prevalent and the bunkers protect small contoured greens. The course since about 2004 and has been well maintained and pace/amount of play is always reasonable.
For $25 through Golfnow its a bargain and glimpses of the carnage left on No. 3 is evident throughout your round. Fall colors make it even more enjoyable.
Reasonable fees on Golf Now for this course
The staff at the course were friendly and informative. Fairways and tee boxes were maintained. Greens are in terrible condition. Would not pay full charge green fees for this course
Just too slow
The good: staff was awesome....very friendly and did everything they could to make it an enjoyable round. Price was right...the course was worth $25
The bad: pace of play was awful...they need to get some marshals out on the course doing their job! Course really beat up...not unplayable but needs some TLC.
For $25 it is worth the play if you can stomach waiting on almost every shot. Some of the holes are real good golf holes, others are a little on the easy side.
Nice course
Nice course, quite challenging, but some of the greens were a little rough. The staff (except for the starter) were quite dismissive.
The greens have a lot of issues as well as fairways.
Greens are bumpy, temporary greens and some are patchy and torn up. Fairways are under renovation and tee boxes not well kept. Kind of suspicious about their attire rule in order to promote their pro shop apparel.
Outstanding golf course
I thoroughly enjoyed playing this course. Everything was just as it should be for a great game of golf.
Not bad for a short course.
This course is a bit short even we played from the black (back) tee.
Quite a few PAR4 definitely do not need a driver or even a three wood.
Love the elevations and green is in good condition. Some holes are narrow and definitely need to be accurate.
I enjoyed it since I had one of my better round here (78) in a foursome, good pace and no one in front or behind us even though we tee off on a Saturday morning at 7am.
