Boulder Ridge is a gated residential development in Lake in the Hills (McHenry County) built directly around Boulder Ridge Country Club's 27-hole course over three decades (1990-2021). It is organized into at least three sub-neighborhoods -- Estates, Fairways, and Greens -- each apparently governed by its own HOA with distinct fees: roughly $25/month for Estates (gate access and common-area maintenance) versus roughly $275/month for Fairways (including lawn maintenance and snow removal). Club membership is confirmed separate from the HOA and is a private, non-equity, optional purchase.
