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.

Fun Course
Pace of play on Father's Day was 4.5 hours. Can't complain about that. This course excels in their greens/bunkers. Both in fantastic shape. A lot of quirky/fun holes that can be hard if you've never played here before. I will definitely come back mostly because of the greens being in such perfect shape.
Nice course.
Course has a great feel and tons of character! The first time playing is tricky because of all the dog legs, but very nice. I really like how the front 9 features a lot of water and the back 9 shows you the landscape. Fairway and rough lines could be a bit sharper and rough is very short. Overall very good experience and look forward to playing again.
Marengo
course was tight. trees and out of bounds. scored a 101. im not a beginner and only go out between 5 to 10 times a year golfing. so it was challenging for me. but the course was in great condition. would love to play it again. i probably would not have played it till i saw the great deal from GolfNow. thank you GolfNow
Marengo
Rain made the course less than ideal. Muddy cart paths and greens that were rough making putting difficult.
fun course
this is a fun course to play. Some holes can be challenging but always fun
Great shape
Considering all the rain we have had, the course was in great shape,fast greens and all around great shape
Great Course
Staff is the best and the course challenging but not so much that here, the greens are your friend. Again great staff and fair fees
Condition
Never seen the coarse in better shape, excellent job grounds crew.
4.5 Stars
An extremely pleasant early Saturday morning. Course is the best shape I've ever ever seen it - and I've been playing Marengo at least once a season for well over two decades. Kudo's to the super and grounds crew. Striped fairways with really good grass/bunkers were really well maintained (need just a tad more sand in them but no complaints) and the greens were running pretty smooth. Page down and see my previous reviews.....the owners and the folks in the clubhouse care about your experience and want you to have just that the best golfing day possible. Downgrading 1/2 star overall because of the gravel cart paths (many are muddy and potholes) and the dry parts of the cart paths you get dust storms. That being said I don't just "hand out" that very top 5 star experience.....but my experience yesterday was just that. Marengo is normally a solid 4 stars but the pristine conditioning of the course deserves the 5 star. Nice bar/food post round/grass range/showers in the basement. You need to play the place a few times - back nine has some quirky but really fun holes - front nine #7 and #9 suffer from over planted trees to close to fairway edges but overall a fun excellent value track to play. Highly recommend. Just wished I lived closer to it to get out on a more than once or twice a season. Great job and thanks to all at Marengo!!!
