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.

I received my cart after tee time, which was running 20 minutes behind. People behind me hit into me twice. I gave up 3 hours 10 min in after 9 holes even though I paid for 18.

Very disappointed and not likely to return.

Nice course

Little tricky front nine, easier back nine. Sand traps really rocky, needs better maintenance. All in all, not a bad deal

Maintenance

The entire course needs overdue cutting of dead trees and tree limbs. Also, clearing out the base of evergreen trees and bushes would help in speeding up play

Course maintenance

Trees and bushes need overdue trimming around the plant and the base. That would speed up trying to find golf balls. Tree limbs are touching the ground. How about raking the traps…..

Marengo Ridge

The fairway is stunning. Course layout is amazing. As a beginner, I always get intimidated at the first hole. Marengo Ridge is very inviting and comforting. This course is a hidden-gem. A must play course.
