Sugar Isle Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Sugar Isle Golf Course was designed by Jack Kidwell, a familiar name among southern Ohio golf courses. Water is a prominent feature of the course, Kidwell incorporated it on more than half of the holes. Some 20 white sand bunkers are strategically placed throughout the layout, providing a scenic contrast to the water and lush greens. For an added challenge, many of the fairways are lined with mature trees although there is some room for error, which makes them more accessible. It is a course that will make you think but it is not too intimidating for beginners. The versatility makes it popular for outings and tournaments. Sugar Isle has even hosted the area's high school programs for more than 30 years. In addition to the golf course, there is also a driving range and large putting green.

Great Layout
Hadn't played this course since HS golf but I forgot how much I had loved the layout. We played the Blues and the course plays shorter than the yardage suggests in my opinion and it's very get-a-ble if you know where to place your shots if that makes sense. What makes this course so challenging are the putting greens. Lots of slopes and speed changes that are hard to judge. Would have to play quite a few rounds to get used to them. Course was in great condition except a few of the greens seemed to have little rough patches and feel bumpy but otherwise it was a great round and I will definitely be back this year!
Hi Farlow32. We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back!
Thank you for visiting us at Sugar Isle Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Nice for the price
The course is well kept and in good shape. The front nine is a nice layout. The staff was very friendly and the rates are reasonable. Good value for the money.. I will play this course several more times this year with no regrets.
SLOW PLay
Course was busy due to the great weather which was not the problem. The problem was a couple groups ahead of us were so slow because they spent so much time looking for lost balls. 1 guy went over and was looking about 100 yards out into a cornfield. A ranger came out once and moved them along for a hole or 2 but then he disappeared. If proper course/time management was followed it would not have been an issue. We could only play 14 holes because it got so jammed up on the back 9 we just left. I won't be coming back here for quite awhile.

great day
We had a good day but we had to play the back 9 twice because of league play and then staff working on the front 9. It kind of takes away from the experience of playing 18.

Where did these guys come from?
I have played this course several times this year. Your course is a great course and plays tougher than you would expect. The one thing that keeps Time from ranking this course higher is that no one manages the people coming onto the course. Every time (5 thus far) someone has jumped on the course ahead of us without any regard to the pace of play (twice on 14, once in 10, and twice on 15), get a handle on what’s happening.

Absolutely love this course. It is my favorite one to play in the area.
Great course in the country
Sugar Isle is a great little course in the middle of the country. The layout is great and course is in decent condition for this early in the season.
Worth the $12 deal.
It’s a nice little course for beginners. It’s a very easy layout with very few places to get into trouble. Check your cart’s brakes before driving off because they don’t take care of them.
One big pro: they allow you to byob.
Not a 4 star course
One problem with ratings is that those who rate often don't play on more expensive and higher quality courses, especially true when the course in question, like this one, is in a remote area.
Great course
Great course. Great staff. I lost several balls on their classic island hole :)
Fall Golf
This course was undergoing fall conditioning. Lots of aerated fairways creating bare spots. Greens were in pretty good shape and just about healed from aeration. It was definitely what I expected.
Could Only Play 9
Could only play 9 due to slow pace of play by golfers ahead of us. No ranger. Told to start on back 9. I think they really over book certain tee times. Took almost 3 hours to play nine. My group plays 18 in less time. We will not be back.
Over booked doomed the round
Played the front nine on a hot Sunday afternoon in almost 2:30 mins Waited on every shot. Our group decided to quit after 14 holes so the value had with their discounted rate was nullified. Traveled 40 mins from south of Dayton to play. We will not go back. Too many options closer to home (yes they are more expensive) but I’ll pay for not being frustrated on my round.
Fun Round
Great value for the price paid. Course was in very good condition and the pace of play was great as we didn’t have to wait on any holes.
