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.

Golf It
Go out and enjoy this course. Water in places that you can not see, but this is golf and challenges await. Go out and golf this course. Golf It!!
Great value if you can snag a deal
Overall a very solid course. There are few really fun par 4s that give you the option to drive the green but with a very high risk to reward level. The course was in decent shape… tee boxes and fairways were a little rough at times but didn’t make a significant impact. If you see a deal here definitely give it a shot!
Great Hidden Gem
I play Marengo a couple times a year. They’re doing some maintenance on a couple of greens, but the course is challenging, greens are fast and true, fairways and tees are in good shape. Great course layout, especially on back 9.
Always enjoy playing Marengo.
Course is not as remote as people think. Short drive down 90, course is 10-12 minutes off the highway.
Hidden Gem for a great value!
Hidden gem of a course with challenging holes and friendly staff! Great bang for the buck. Bunkers and water are plentiful, so accuracy over distance at this place. One of only a few local courses that makes you use almost every club in the bag. Always enjoy playing here.
Nice course but tougher than you think
Marengo Ridge is way up in the northwest boonies but worth the drive. I expected a wide open former cornfield, but was in for a surprise. Lots of water, bunkers, and mature trees. My only complaint (due to my inexperience with course) is the several hidden hazards that you can't see from the tee or second shot. Our foursome lost a bunch of balls by not knowing when to lay up. Also my best drive of the day wound up in a hidden bunker in the center of the fairway. Overall a fun course and the best $4 brats I've ever had.
Pleasantly surprised
This is a nice track. The routing takes advantage of the somewhat hilly terrain and I enjoyed the numerous doglegged holes. Greens are medium sized and putt well. Would play again.
It’s a harder course then it gets a rep for
Course is always a challenge, greens are getting patchy but they’re taking care of it
Solid value
For the price very competitive and nice course.
Some nice elevated tees and greens , good challenge,
