BOULDER RIDGE COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Lake in the Hills, IL, USA
Designed by Bob Lohmann
Boulder Ridge Country Club's North/West combination draws from two of the three nines that make up this daily-fee facility in Lake in the Hills, a northwest Chicago suburb in McHenry County. Bob Lohmann designed the course, which opened in the mid-1990s as part of the area's residential and recreational development during that period. The property sits in the gently rolling terrain characteristic of the Fox River Valley region, where glacial topography provides more movement than the flatter landscapes closer to Chicago.
The routing works through a landscape of mature hardwoods and natural wetland areas, with several holes playing along or across water features that are common to courses built in this part of Illinois. Lohmann's design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating enough length and strategic interest to challenge better players. The combination of nines allows for variety in the daily setup, with the North and West loops each contributing distinct character based on their position within the property.
Boulder Ridge operates as an accessible public course serving the northwest suburban corridor, offering straightforward conditions and a layout that reflects the practical design approach common to daily-fee courses built during the 1990s expansion of golf in the Chicago metropolitan area. The facility includes standard practice areas and clubhouse amenities typical of courses in this market segment.
