BOULDER RIDGE COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Lake in the Hills, IL, USA
Designed by Bob Lohmann
Boulder Ridge Country Club's South Course is a Bob Lohmann design located in Lake in the Hills, a northwest suburb of Chicago in the Fox River Valley region. Lohmann, a Chicago-area architect active from the 1960s through the 1990s, designed numerous courses across Illinois and the Midwest, typically creating layouts that work with the natural terrain while remaining accessible to a range of player abilities. The South Course reflects this approach, incorporating the rolling topography characteristic of the glacially formed landscape northwest of Chicago.
The routing takes advantage of elevation changes and native vegetation that provide definition and variety across the eighteen holes. Like many courses in this part of Illinois, the layout features a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with water hazards and strategically placed bunkers shaping play. The course serves as one of two eighteen-hole layouts at Boulder Ridge, offering members and guests options for daily play and tournament rotation.
Boulder Ridge operates as a semi-private facility, balancing member play with public access. The club provides traditional country club amenities including practice facilities and dining, serving the growing residential communities in McHenry and Kane Counties. The South Course, along with its companion North Course, contributes to the area's golf infrastructure, providing a Lohmann design within the broader context of Chicago's extensive suburban golf network.
