Eaglewood Resort & Spa
Rating Snapshot
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.

Great Course
Dont let the yardage discourage you. This course is awesome. Fun layout, playable, but still challenging. If there was any knock against it, it would be that there are 1 or 2 holes that have some bad turf around the green (3rd and 17th it think?). In my opinion this course is the best value for the cost in and around the city.
Nice club house with a good practice green (no driving range).
Great Time
The course is in good shape (greens has a lot of unfixed ball marks)
Challenging greens - fast and quite a few curving putts.
Played with a couple of bombers
A lot of fun
HORRIBLE
Back 9 took an hour more than front we caught slow groups RANGER ON COURSE DRIVING CART BUT DOING NOTHING ABOUT PACE OF PLAY ONE GROUP REALLY REALLY SLOW PARK CARTS IN FRONT OF GREENS not caring I guess if ranger does care why should they VERY BAD

GREAT AFTERNOON OF GOLF
I have played this course several times but hadn’t been pit this year due to an injury. The course is perfect for high handicappers like me because nearly every hole gives you a chance. Considering the drought we’ve been in, the course was in great shape.
This Course is Just OK
More than anything it just isn't a $70 weekend rate course. From the second you tee off on the first tee you are on top of other golfers the entire time and our foursome had balls from multiple holes over landing near us. There are some fun holes out there, but the greens certainly felt unfair at times, with multiple greens being sloped at what seemed like a 45 degree angle for the length of the green. On top of that, it felt like only about the half of the bunkers were actually playable. On one occasion I raked and placed my ball in what seemed to be an alright bunker and swung down on what felt like cement.
Overall, this course is very ok in my opinion, and I won't be going back for a $70 rate
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time! Thanks for playing Eaglewood Resort & Spa.
Decent course every now and then
This is a fun course when it is maintained properly. You could not hit out of any bunkers because they were holding so much water. Typically when you pay $70+ for a round you expect to be able to play golf out of well maintained bunkers. Greens can be quick and there are a couple really poorly designed greens that don't even make sense.
The layout is such that you are kind of always on top of one another, so expect four hours of FORE! calls.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Eaglewood Resort & Spa!
