Marengo Ridge Golf & Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Marengo Ridge Golf Club opened as a nine-hole course in 1963. Spread across rolling, wooded hills, the course was crafted by re-purposing an old farm. The working cattle barn was even renovated to become the clubhouse. As the golf course garnered a local following, a new nine was added in 1990. The more than 25-year difference between when the two nines were constructed give the course a unique character. The layout seamlessly blends modern techniques and classic design. The distinct topographies of each nine add even more variety. Marengo Ridge Golf Club's original nine holes weave through mature trees while the newer holes are more open and links-style. There are several tricky doglegs throughout but it isn't overly punishing if you're errant. You'll also face several water hazards and strategically placed bunkers.

Hidden Gem
Worth the drive . Course is challenging for all levels . Staff was friendly . Pace of play was good . The greens were a bit slow but helped my game. Can’t wait to go back
Return to the Ridge
Weather was cool and windy but course was in good shape considering it was November after aerating, etc.
The course presents some challenging holes but not not crazy. Nice little pro shop, bar , and food service area. The owner, Janet, is what really makes us feel welcome.
Marengo Golf
The course was in very good condition considering how dry it has been in northern IL. A couple of the traps had a lot of stone. Other than that I would definitely play there again.
Nice
It was a nice course. Tons of rocks in the sand and the greens were a little beat up. We teed off early and the only group in front of us play thru. After shooting the 18 we noticed around 10 carts waiting to tee off and people just waiting. This was around 10:30am and I can’t imagine how they got so behind so quickly.
Some of the greens were a little rough but nothing that effected play at all I will definitely play this course again soon
