Like Wine, Gleneagles is Improving with Age
Our two, 18-hole championship courses at Gleneagles are called the Red or Lakes course and the White or Woodlands course. Red and white, like wine. And like wine, Lakes and Woodands continue to mellow and improve with age!
As you play, there is little co-mingling of the two courses. Each is a stand-alone jewel, with unique characteristics and nuances. But together they offer a unique opportunity for you to host a 288-player shotgun outing with relative ease.
Red and White!
Built in 1924, Gleneagles two 18-hole championship offerings to the Chicagoland area are traditional golf courses. Any changes conform to the original architectural intent of designer Charles Maddox. They average 6,300 yards apiece.
You'll play traditional greens and fairways. Trees come into play. Neither course is difficult to play if you keep it in the fairway.
As more golfers come to realize, traditional courses are a pleasure to play. The trend is going back to this kind of course. We were here all the time!
We offer a unique atmosphere for golf in Chicago: relaxed, casual and friendly.
The terrain at Gleneagles is fairly undulating, moderately contoured with a few steep hills. You're playing bent grass on tees, greens and fairways; the roughs are bluegrass.
