Valley Ridge Golf Course sits in Lake County, Illinois, just south of Antioch. The layout plays through scenery that includes lakes, ponds and wetlands, and multiple sets of tees make it playable for a range of skill levels.
The design leans on risk-and-reward decisions, with several drivable par 4s and two par 5s that can be reached in two. Greens and fairways are closely maintained throughout.
After a round, the clubhouse and outdoor patio serve grill-menu food along with beer and mixed drinks.
