Valley Ridge Golf Club
Enjoy a classic Northern Illinois course under new ownership with today’s feature: $15 for 18 Holes with Cart at Valley Ridge Golf Club — Formerly Antioch Golf Club — in Antioch ($36 Value. Good Any Time until November 1, 2018!)
Located in Lake County just a short drive from Waukegan, today’s feature course, Valley Ridge in Antioch, is hands-down one of the best places to play in the Prairie State. Sporting a 6,200-yard championship-style layout that sports scenic views, a gorgeous landscape of lakes, ponds & wetlands, and impeccable golfing conditions, this impressive Parkland-style layout is definitely a must-play destination.
As you make your way through Valley Ridge’s epic 18 holes, be sure to take special consideration when approaching the par-4 16th – one of the course’s signature challenges, Playing just over 400 yards from the back set of tees and featuring a drastic dogleg right that’s cut in half by a large pond, your second shot here is all about accuracy if you want to hit the green in regulation. However, whether you choose to lay up on the other side of the water, or go for it from the nearside fairway, you’ve got quite a bit of work to do before walking away with a score near to par.
Perhaps what is truly the most exciting thing about Valley Ridge is what’s happening behind the scenes. New ownership and management have recently taken over, and have already taken countless steps to cement Valley Ridge’s legacy as one of the best golfing destinations in Northern Illinois. So, whether you’ve played here before when it was known as Antioch Golf Club, or today’s feature will mean your first visit, you are truly in for a one-of-a-kind treat.
When your round is over, be sure to visit Valley Ridge’s famous 19th hole for a cold beer and something to eat. With a comfortable atmosphere and plenty of menu options, it’s the perfect venue to toast your scores and end your day of fun.
