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.

Nice Course - Worth the Ride
Marengo Ridge is a nice, challenging golf course. The course condition is very good; the greens are typically fairly quick, though they were not during this round, due to the heavy rain the night before. The staff is generally friendly, and the clubhouse provides a clean, welcoming atmosphere for post-round meals or cocktails. It's well worth the ride.
Fun day withy grandson
In spite of days of rain, the course was in very good shape. Saturday brings out a lot of duffers so the pace of play was a little slow. There are plenty of challenges for every level of player.
Nice facility and great staff.
Awesome Golf Venue
1st time playing course. Grass tee driving range. Course very challenging but fair. Driver not always needed off tee. Greens not lightening fast but rolled very true.
We played as a twosome. On front nine we were behind three foursomes. At the turn, the ranger held the foursomes so we could play through. Played the backnine in about an hour and 30 minutes.
Course also had tees set up for young kids or those who don't hit the ball very far. Nice touch.
Risk-Reward opportunities
There are a few holes you can "cheat" if you're willing to take a chance. Most notably the short par 4-5th and short par 5-13th. This gives you a chance to press your bets. Make a decision.
Course in good shape. Greens are generally ok, although there are a few bare spots from ignorant players that do not repair their ball marks. The greenside bunkers need attention. Some are thin, others have rocks.

Great value and course condition excellent
I've played this course numerous times and course condions, playability and value have always been reasons to come back again and again.
A Gem In The Rough
This is a great course for the money. We played the blue tees, While it was not the most challenging course, It had it's fair amount of difficulties. The greens,tees and fairways were all in great shape. The help was extremely helpful and nice. This is a go out and enjoy course. .
Sand Traps

Great value for the money.

My Favorite Course
Played this course 3-4 times and love it. On a weekday, I played 18 holes in 3.5 hours. On the weekend it took 4 hours. Both times as a single and did not have to play through.
Course is well maintained and very quiet. Highly recommended.
Nice course
The course was very nice but there were lots of opportunity to get wet! Lots of water! The only thing that was upsetting was the way they let people start the round. They let a single go in front of a three some, then a two some in front of us( another two some) then a three some behind us followed by a single. By the 6th hole we were jammed up at every tee box on a day that wasn't as busy as it seemed. Other then that we got a great deal and enjoyed the day!
pleasantly tricky but not too hard
I loved this course! Many doglegs and "hidden" undulations make for a fun and challenging outing. The course plays fair with virtually all greens heavily protected by sand. Altogether a fun layout and experience. I will return at first opportunity. Excellent deal through GolfNow.
Nice Course
Course has quite a bit of water and several blind tee shots. Really enjoyed the challenge.
Best in the Area
Marengo Ridge is always an excellent course to play. Even after several days of rain, the course drained out very well and had only 2 holes of "cart path only". The staff is top notch and friendly, and the course pace is very efficient. I have played dozens of rounds here and am happy that it is now offered through golfnow.com!
Nice Layout
Pace of play, course conditions, and lay out above average. Add in the reasonable price to play and you have a great golf day.
challenging golf course
course is in the best shape I have ever seen it. Challenging course because the 2 nines are so different. Holes are well laid out over a small acreage.
Great value for the money
