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 for the money
The sand bunkers and well kept fairways make this a fun course for its length. Good value and great people, have fun.
fun
short , good course for fun round,driver not needed for long er hiters
Fun Course in Bad Condition
When this course is in good shape it is a lot of fun for the average golfer. Short Par 4s, Long Par 3s. Unfortunately it has been in bad condition the last 2-3 years. Some was water damage and reconstruction, but all the greens were beyond wear and tear this past time out.
Really loved it the first three times I played it, but the last three will make me skip until next year.
If you're even a little picky about course condition, especially the greens, this isn't the course for you.
The course is quite short and the greens are not in good condition. While I would give all other aspects of the course pretty high marks, low handicappers probably should stay away.
Short and Sweet
I thoroughly enjoyed this course for the simple fact that it is not so driver oriented due to its short length. This made for a fun and rewarding, as well as a cerebral round of golf. Not having to pull driver out on every par 4 / 5 kind of gave credence to the old adage that "variety is the spice of life". Except for the (2) temporary greens due to some form of virus, I would definitely recommend this course for the average 85 + par player looking for a relatively quick and enjoyable round.
