Eaglewood sits within the Eaglewood Resort & Spa property in Itasca, a western suburb of Chicago. The course was designed by Charles Maddox and Frank P. MacDonald, opening in the late 1990s as part of a resort development that includes conference facilities and spa amenities. The layout occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Chicago metropolitan area, with mature trees lining many fairways and water features integrated throughout the routing. The course serves primarily as a resort amenity and corporate outing venue, reflecting its location near O'Hare International Airport and the Interstate 290 corridor. The design incorporates multiple sets of tees to accommodate resort guests of varying skill levels, with strategic bunkering and water hazards providing definition on an otherwise gentle landscape. Several holes feature elevated greens and mounding that add visual interest to the property's natural topography. Eaglewood functions within the broader context of Chicago-area golf, offering convenient access for business travelers and local players seeking a resort experience without leaving the metropolitan region. The course integrates with the property's other amenities, including dining facilities and event spaces that cater to both leisure and corporate groups. Conditioning and playability reflect the resort's focus on providing an accessible golf experience rather than championship-level challenge.
