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.

Always worth playing
Sugar Isle has always been a fun golf course to play but recent changes to the course and improved turf conditions have really increased its value. Greens were quick and the rough was short. Open enough to hit driver on most every hole but the greens are tricky and fun to putt.
Always In Great Shape
Sugar Isle is always in really nice shape. Nice smooth greens and good fairways. My only complaint is the geese! They seem to be getting more & more all the time. I hate having to navigate through areas of goose droppings. Nasty. Maybe you should close the course for a day and tell the golfers to bring their 12 guages to thin out the flock.
Good bang for your buck if you go at a discounted time
I have played this course multiple times and if you get a discounted tee time then it is very worth it. Hole 9 is beautiful and the back 9 is very fun to play with it's twists, turns and hills.
good day on the course
It was a cold spring day and we have had a lot of rain but other than the bunkers which were wet but not standing water, we had a good round.
Slow Slow Slow
Played the front 9 in 3.5 hours. No real organization or leadership from the staff to get the group in front of us moving. 3 holes were open and groups were skipping 2-3 holes to get in front of the slow group. Again nothing was done from the staff's end.
Besides that this was a typical country/rural course. Cornfields dotted the course and it was open and easy. The Greens were the only real difficult aspect to the course.
Nothing to write home about, and there are courses 15 minutes away that are cheaper and way better.
Great course!
This course is a very nice course, relatively easy with a few challenging holes. Over all open course that is kept up very well. One of my top 2 courses I have played at (little biased only course I ever shot under 100) but great for just a weekend or drinking golfer!!
Good value
Course is in great shape. Rhe senior tees are great for the older players.
Good layout; poor condition.
Fun design but rough conditions. Sparce grass in fairways and spotty greens. No windows on carts. My Skycaddy GPS was confused about what holes I was on as if the holes had been shuffled at some time.
Go to course.
My golf buddies try to golf a different course every week. When we can't decide, or are pressed for time, this is our go to course. Lots of charachter and close for all of our foursome. I recommend this course for anyone not anticipating a championship style course. As public courses go around the Dayton area, it isn't the best, but not far from it. IMHO.
Hit them straight, and as always use good golf etiquette!
Great course north Dayton
Value for the money, good condition, good layout. Just wish they served food at the turn
Great Course
Love the challenge and layout of this course. Some holes are tight while others are wide open. Some holes require positioning to stay away from trouble and others, you can let it rip. Overall fun course.
Good round
We enjoy playing this course. We played in November an greens an fairwell were in good shape.
Great time
Nice course, great price and friendly people.
and now this course does this....
I like to come to this course and play a round by myself on days when i dont have to report to work til the evening. well this is another course im not going to come to again. my last time in i was told that i was lucky cuz i didnt have a group to be paired with..ive played this course for yrs.. never have i been paired with another group...apparently that is now going to happen.. if i wanted that id go play at miami shores. i play by myself to unwind.. if i want to be social i will play with someone when i choose. the last thing i want is to have somebody in my cart while im trying to do my own thing.. so back to the dayton courses..i hear theres a great course in arcanum i should check out... if your going to be on golf now dont be that person and force all your golf now customers to play together. just dont give the option for a single..that easy. hope you change your mind on this new policy..
Fall Golf
Course was in good shape, greens had been worked for winter, fairways could have been cut but not to bad, pace of play was great and the weather was beautiful . Fall golf in Ohio is a great time to play.
Thank you Dan! We appreciate your review and feedback on your experience!
