Eaglewood Resort and Spa

The course was under water, storms the night before flooded the fairways and sand traps.

Cart path only which wasn't terrible but fairways shouldn't look like swimming pools.

Played a 9am rd Fri before a scramble was set to begin at 10. Course was in great condition. First couple holes the rough was a bit high but they were cutting it as we were playing, so the rest of the holes were in great shape. Greens were fun and tricky to play. Some challenging hole placements on the slopes(my guess to give the scramble outing a fun time!) At full price I would say it's fair, but if you can get a hold of a hot deal it turns into a fantastic deal. I also think they do a deal where if you stay at the resort for a night you get a free rd. Great for a staycation option if youre in the Chicago area. The back tees add the length. The silver tees shorten it up quite a bit to put up some good scores. (Played the black tees this time so no PRs today...) Would play again!

We showed up on time for our tee time and pulled up to the first hole only to find out there is no one moderating the start of tee times. This being said we pulled up to the first hole of 8 guys on 4 different golf carts all teeing off and joking together . Given the fact they were already 2 people in to their tee off I went back and confronted the front desk about this and they then gave me the option to skip this hole and find a hole that isn’t busy and work my back . That is not the response I was looking for because who would want to do that . I then asked if we can start at the back 9 and even still they gave me a little bit of a hard time with is. This issue with the pace of play was an all day thing and could’ve been prevented if there was a person moderating the tee times and amount of people at a hole.

The course is well groomed and challenging but still good for advanced beginners.

I know what to expect on a weekend afternoon around Chicagoland but pace of play on this day was horrendous. Rangers aren't willing to let slower groups know and we eventually left after 15. It shouldn't take over 5 hours to play a course this short.

Course is nice. Not too difficult which is perfect for not so great players. The only bad thing was the place of play. It was extremely slow.
