In summary

The Merit Club is highly praised for its immaculate course conditions, well-designed layout, and beautiful setting, making it a top choice for golf enthusiasts in the Chicagoland area. Visitors frequently commend the friendly and attentive staff, as well as the excellent amenities, including a tremendous practice facility and a remarkable back patio dining experience. While the course is private, which some find disappointing, those who have the opportunity to play often regard it as a standout experience.

It's a wonderful venue, I enjoyed the golf course very much. Now being a super Senor at age 75, with the forward tees I played a very competive game. Growing up in the Chicago South Side, caddying at the South Shore Countey Club from 1952 to 1957 and playing at Jackson Park, And Cog Hil were my Uncle was a member back at that time. Thank you for maintaining a great Golf Course.

Looks beautiful every time I drive by it. Would love to play it someday, but unfortunately it is a Private Course. That is a shame, as I live less than 5 minutes from the course. :-(

One of my top five golf courses in the Chicagoland area. Large greens, well manicured fairways and entertaining elevation changes.

Just awesome. Perfect greens and a great atmosphere. If you get a chance to play it, I highly recommend calling in sick.

The Merit Club is not in Liberteyville, IL. It is actually in Gurnee, IL. Great course, friendly people but people like to say it is in Libertyville rather than Gurnee. Correct address: MERIT CLUB GOLF COURSE 1550 MERIT CLUB LN Gurnee, IL 60031 United States 42° 20' 8.1168" N, 87° 57' 20.2896" W
