Marengo Ridge Golf & Country Club
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.

Hard as a rock!!!!
With all the rain this spring,you would think the course would be green and rich BUT except for a few well groomed holes,grass was sparse,especially in the fairway……it’s always been hard and sparse in the summer but this spring’s start doesn’t bode well for the summer!!!!!
"Members" manage course play
Something happened at the start of the round that has never happened to me before. We had a 10:58 tee time. A four-some comes up and say were “members” we started on the back nine, so we have the tee. They hit and another four some shows up and say the exact same thing. It is now 11:10 and I’m talking with the 11;06 foursome and we think maybe we should be taking off from the back nine. I called the clubhouse and the women says the “members” started on the back nine, but we were to start on the front nine. She told me they had them down for an 11:22 tee time on the front nine, but they played so fast on the back nine. She told me not to worry they were fast players. They were not fast players for the front nine of this course took us 2 hours and 20 minutes. The only saving grace of this course is the greens were in great condition. The bunkers were a mixture of clay and small stone. The fairways had weeds and some bare patches. I will not be playing here again. This course is not managed from the clubhouse but the “members”.
Nice course, good value for the money if you are willing to drive
Good no frills gold course, nice layout with interesting balance of target and open holes. Bunkers need to be filled with sand as most bunkers are bare with hardpan compressed mud/dirt. The greens were in great shape and fairways and tees were in decent shape.
Great, challenging course
Great course, tight and challenging on many holes. Pace of play was terrible the day I went (Saturday). Had to wait to tee off 10 minutes on some holes. Other than pace of play, this is a great course.
