Eaglewood Resort and Spa

With the cooler and windier fall weather arriving in the past week, I wanted to give myself a short course to play today. My previous visits here have usually been enjoyable so I was looking forward to another go on what I find to be an easy track. Since I was playing as a single, the starter was kind enough to let me jump out ahead of several foursomes that had teed off just a few minutes before I arrived. Thankfully this allowed me to play the front 9 rather quickly and when I encountered the group ahead of me, I just took the opportunity to practice chipping and putting while giving them space.

I thought the course was in decent condition especially the greens which were rolling well for a late season round. The tees and fairways were a bit shaggy compared to a number of the other courses that I play, but overall they were still in decent shape for the most part.

My only complaints about the course conditions would be: A) most of the bunkers I noticed around the course appeared to be washed out and/or in need of more sand, and B) there were a few hole locations cut on 2 or 3 greens that were in unfair / illegal locations. As a former assistant superintendent, I have cut countless tournament hole locations that are difficult, but that's not equivalent to the several illegal hole location that I encountered today.

This is a great Drive and wedge course. If you hit the ball really high you might hit a passing plane landing!

I truly enjoyed the banquet, food and the golf course. Great service and staff. The hotel is beautiful. The rooms are tremendous. We truly enjoyed our weekend at this great golf resort.

Course kept up . Short course but challenging.. T boxes and greens close to each other. Many fores heard throughout the day.

Course is in great shape but the holes are on top of each other and you must be careful otherwise you might get hit by a golf ball. Recommend to play during the week and not at peak times.

Beautiful and well-maintained. Adequately long and challenging.

The staff is outstanding----can not say enough good things about all the staff working here--we consider this our "home" course mainly because of how we are treated.

the fairway and greens are always in good shape . we do consider the #2 green somewhat unfair. bottom line, we love playing here

Had the opportunity to stop by Eaglewood during the BMW Championship at next-door Medinah. It's a fun layout with a unique mix of holes and a lot of character. Sloping greens and deep bunkers are solid defenses for the 6,000-yard, par 72, as are three longer par-3s. It's a busy course (30,000 rounds annually), but the staff manages to keep the turf in strong shape. Director of golf operations David Fazio and assistant general manager Adam Klos are very accommodating. The Spring Brook Creek comes into play on No. 6, as winds its way through five area courses: Medinah, Eaglewood, Itasca, The Preserve, and Butler National. In a suburban area with a lot of golf, Eaglewood is worth a visit.

Course was in good shape. The guy checking in was not friendly, but who cares I guess. Course is short but greens are small and sloped. Pin places are tough and from the back all the par 3s aside from one are fairly challenging. Pace of play was great for a Sunday, we played in less than 4 hours with a foresome. Tge price I thought was just tight
