Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6017 yards
Slope 120
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.

Course in Good Shape

Eaglewood was in pretty good shape for early in the season. The bunkers needed some raking but fairways and greens were in good shape. Remarkably, the greens were very slow, which is not usual for this course. In mid-summer, the greens are incredibly fast. The course has no signature hole and only has a couple of holes where water comes into play. The bunkers, however, are deep and can be challenging to get our of. If you can get a deal for $35 or less than it's worth playing. If it's over $40, I suggest looking at alternatives.

Good beginner coarse. Coarse is short, fairways are forgiving. Greens were super slow today. Great coarse to begin the season.

Outrageously slow due to 5-somes

Despite notifying the pro shop (they promised to send someone but never saw anyone and nothing changed), we witnesses at least two groups of 5 on the course and the one in front of us was extremely slow besides and habitually parked their cart in FRONT of the green and also ignored the 90 degree rule in effect. They were at least 2 holes behind and at one point there were 3 groups waiting at one hole. Fairways were not closely mowed and had considerable bad spots. Greens were inconsistent speeds.
No drinking water on course. Ball/club washer on cart had no water in it.

Beautiful

This was a fun and exciting place to play. Never lost a ball ! I’m from Tucson ,Az and we don’t have courses like this back home. The Ruff was thick and hard to hit out of but the fairways and greens were immaculate.

Always a good round

I've played this course about 10 times over a few years and every time it's in great shape. The staff is friendly and helpful. The pace of play can get bogged down on nice days, but overall it's fine. I'll be back.

Pace of play was a little slow. Not sure what can be done to fix it because the holes are very close to each other. Wasn’t a bad place to play but is a little too expensive for what it is.

Everyone was on every hole at the same time

We would sometimes wait to tee off because people from other holes would have hit into our fairway and they would drive straight to their ball and not wait for us in the middle of our tee shots. Once, there were 3 different 4somes playing from our fairway. However, pace was ok. Some of the tees probably need to be moved as the tee boxes were getting a little chewed up.

Awful Players

Fun layout, despite being very short. Has a foursome of older gentlemen in front of me who played at a snails pace. Nearly 4 hour round when the round should have taken 3. Group in front drove carts onto teeboxes and even greens. I’ve never in my life seen it. Informed staff and they didn’t seem to care. Such a shame that a fun little course like this is ruined by the players on it.
