Considerable time and attention were taken in the design of the course at Merit Club. The course was founded in 1992 by Bert Getz Sr. and his family and was collaboratively designed by Getz, Oscar Miles, Bob Lohmann and Ed Oldfield. The course architect was Bob Lohmann. At nearly 7,000 yards from the tips, the Merit Club hosted the U.S. Women's Open in 2000, won by Karrie Webb and also hosted the second edition of the LPGA UL International Crown on July 21 through July 24, 2016, won by the United States.

Merit Club has been ranked in the top 100 golf courses in the United States by both Golf Week and Golf Magazine. While the course is challenging enough for the world's top pros, it is also fun and fair for golfers of all abilities with ample fairways and few forced carries. The mission of the Merit Club is to deliver a premier golf experience while also offering a superb dining and a social environment that promotes fellowship among its members, families and guests.
