Length 6017 yards

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 is nice

The course is very nice and in great shape. The pace of play however was horrific. Basically 6 groups all bunched together and waiting on each other. Rangers could of got ahead of the problem, but it got worse as we played on.

Great course great people

As 20+ handicap the course is extremely challenging. Especially the well manicured but sloping greens. Lots of vertical features - very hilly.

I made a mistake on my reservation…. I intended to reserve a foursome; however, in the app I only reserved a single. The pro shop was incredibly accommodating and got my group scheduled in. The friendliest pro shop I have ever dealt with. Thank you.

Good Course Well run.

End of season fall play so lots of leaves in some areas. Greens and Tee boxes in good condition for time of year. A challenging with grass cut low enough so you will find your ball most times if you hit out of the fairway. Carts and paths in good shape, pace for a Sunday was really good. Only thing missing is a little spot for food, snacks, coffee or beverages when starting or making the turn. Or grabbing a beverage afterwards.

Fun and interesting course

Fairly short course [3000yds from the tips], but tight fairways, elevation changes and trees everywhere make this seemingly 'easy' course fun and interesting and occasionally challenging. Greens are challenging too with some tricky pin placements on unforgiving slopes. Can often play here for under $40; get a hot deal and/or use one of your golf pass coupons [as I did] and you can play for under $20! Great when I want to get out and get a round in to work on some stuff while testing my putting.

Course in GREAT shape

I asked the starter why the 90 degree rule, since we have not received a lot of rain...he said they always have that in effect. I really makes a difference. Greens were in great shape despite some idiot golfers not repairing their ball marks. But they greens putted very true. Sand traps are dirt, not sand...which is normal in Illinois (I am from Florida). The layout per hole is great...especially with the hills...but often had to wait for duffers hitting into my fair way...most holes are on top each other. I enjoy this golf course. The staff is great..and despite the sand traps, the course is in great shape. I recommend it.
