Rating 68.2

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.

Pretty lush and in good shape this year, although 2 temp greens

Always enjoyed this course, old Lady's Medina CC, I believe.

Pretty, scenic, and between moderate to challenging depending upon the tees you use.

And at the great Golf now price (< than a round of mini-golf)
how can you go wrong?

Big elevation changes and tight.

Nice resort course...it is kinda tight, but I do love those elevation changes....Next closest place, with similar changes would be Fox Lake, and after that Galena...greens can be tricky too...alot of slope in em. Looking back I don't think there's a flat hole on the course....NICE!!!

Shorter than I expected

The course was in reasonably good shape despite two temporary greens. I was surprised how short most of the par 4's were. Pace of play was very slow; just appeared to be too many people on the course.

Short and sweet

This is a very short course. You don't even need to use your driver, unless you want to reach the par-5's in two shots. Using my 3-wood was sufficient to put myself in good scoring position.

The Fairways were well maintained. The green are in good shape; however, the 16th and 17th greens were under repair.

Most holes are close together; so be aware of balls flying your way.

Overall, it was a great experience. I will go back. I would recommend this course but try to not pay full price if the 16 and 17 greens are still closed.

It's early in the season

The course is usually pretty good & in decent shape. This early (4/15/13) is expected to be bad but I've played at Bartlett Hills & it's in 10 times better shape. Also having two holes under construction is getting a little repetitive at this course. It doesn't seem to matter when you go there is always a hole or two under construction.

I would wait for the weather to get better before going out there. I would not pay more than $15-$20.

Great value for a golfer on a budget !!!

Played early in season when course cannot be expected to be in full operation. Two greens were temporary but the others were in good/moderate shape. Plus I payed less than half of the normal green fee which is always a good thing.

Price reflects condition issues

This course has condition issues. Even though part of the problem is that the turf is still dormant, there have been condition issues for years here.

Greens are very sloped, which makes scoring tougher than the short length suggests.

The course is priced in line with it's condition problems.

two temp greens

The two temporary greens were bad enough on hole 16 and 17 but the green on hole one was poor. Play was slow due to extremly heavy play.

When conditions are good it is a sporty fun short course of 6,000 yards

Short course but great shape and nice apporaches to greens

This a short course but the layout is still nice. The course is in good shape and the pace of play was acceptable. The approaches to green were fun. Alot of elevated greens. Worth the affordable green fee,

Great Course for the Money

This course is great because it is short for beginner players, yet challenging due to changes in elevation for more experienced players. At certain times during the year it can get sloppy. Since playing here late last year and early this year, I have yet to see the 16th and 17th greens playable. Right now the holes are in the fairway which is a concern if you are paying full price. Great deal when you can play this course for $30 or under with those two holes being basically unplayable.

Nicely designed course. Not cared for.

Well laid out course; beautiful. Forgiving, most holes can hit off of fairway and have shot at hole. Greens very rough, thick and slow. Two greens in such disrepair temporary greens created in fairway. Decent quality sand; not raked. Paid $22 for 18 holes with a cart - super deal offer.
