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.

Saturday’s Round

The course was in pretty good shape & everything was COVID ready. The only complaint I would have was the bug issue. Tons of bugs & it got annoying fast. Other then that the greens were in good shape & they even had some sucker pin positions. A good value for the money & drive. I do live 45 minutes away.

Fantastic Value Course

It was far from my home but I love this course, it feels like your playing on 2 different courses when you hit the back 9, very fun and not that challenging. 9/10.
