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.

Course is improving!

Not a resort course but for a weekend round, it's great. Greens are in good condition, fairways are okay. They've changed the sequence of the holes and it is an improvement. The course plays much better now. They're adding new tees for the shorter hitters which should be in place probably next season. If you play it from either of the back two sets of tees, it gives you a reasonable challenge.

Course and Cart are in bad shape

Front nine not in great shape, bare spots all thru the fairways, greens were showing many signs of dried out ad burnt. Back nine was average. Golf cart#80 was in bad shape, when starting to move the engine would run but cart would pause then suddenly lunge and jump hard. Changed cart on the back nine.

Poor course. Needs taken care of. Teribly slow pace of play.

I was looking forward to this course after I got a good deal and looked at the layout on the website. This course has a great layout, and if it was taken care of, it would be one of my favorites. But it was very neglected. Tee boxes were terrible. Dead grass, crabgrass, weeds. Fairways were ok, but a lot of dead grass. Roughs were not mowed and were long and thick. Greens were in good shape however. They were challenging with difficult undulations. As for pace of play, it was terrible. There was a group of 4 in front of us who would let our twosome play through because they said they were with the 4 in front of them. And every green we came up behind them, and saw 8 of them together on a hole. We informed the ranger, but they just separated for 1 hole and got back together. From my point of view, it was very poor course management, and we ended up out for almost 6 hours.

Hard and fast

The course was in good overall condition. The greens were harder than expected. Pretty quick for a public course I would say. We went in the afternoon on a Friday and didn't have much trouble with being crowded. The one problem I did have was the bunkers were pretty hard, just avoid those and you will have a good round.

A lot of bang for the buck!

Love the new changes. The course is in good shape, my only concern for future rounds is the clover is coming up. I hate losing balls in the fairways...lol

Great course, but...

I love this course. It's fun to play. Some difficult holes, some wide open holes. Grass is in great condition. But if you are into using golf apps from your mobile device, be aware that the course is not updated since they've redesigned some of the holes. The golf carts need some updates as well. But if you don't mind those two things, it's a fun place to golf.

Horrible

There is no such thing as a fairway here as it was cut maybe 1/8 of an inch shorter than the rough. No drinking fountains at all on the course makes for a terrible time as well. Mowers had no respect for the golfers, just kept mowing and forced us to wait about 10 minutes on each tee box. Also, probably the most rude greens I have ever laid eyes on. Not a single flat spot on any of the greens not to mention the BS aeration marks that make it impossible to put on. So if you're interested in having a heat stroke, don't mind playing rough no matter how straight your ball was, and love playing Plinko on the greens, I still would never play this course again.

A bit chilly for May

We were the second group out as a twosome following a foursome. Caught them on the back nine but didn't really affect us much. Course is known for slower play but we will go back for sure. In great shape, they were mowing that day on a Thursday and were very good about waiting for us to hit. Signs clearly mark where the next tee box is which comes in handy when you haven't played there before. #9 has an island green which is very nice.
