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.

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.

frost delay

We had a little problem starting on time because of some frosting. Once we got started things went pretty well. I think because of the weather ground crew might have been a little behind in cleaning some of the fairways from leaves. I like playing here and will be back. love the 18th hole

Bring your A-game!

This course is enjoyable to play and will challenge your skills as a golfer. Greens are fast and in good shape. Bunkers are well tended except for the few where an ingrate walks across it and is too lazy to rake it. One of the groundskeepers mentioned they were in process of altering a few of the fairways by shortening them and adding more rough in front of the greens. This should make the course even more interesting and challenging.

Fun Course

Course was in excellent condition. Greens were hard to read some were slow some were fast. But cant complain for $10 for 18 with a cart. Beautiful day as well. Only issue was the mowers wouldnt stop when you were going and the crew would turn the sprinklers on when we were teeing off so we hit into sprinklers on in fairways for the first 7 holes.

Enjoyed Round

Course is challenging but fair. The tees were not in good shape but the fairways were ok due to being so dry. Traps were very hard. Greens nice but hard due to dry conditions.

Course has plenty of water holes

This course makes you pick your spots on when to be aggressive. Lots of water hazards. The greens were in great shape. However, the tee boxes and fairways need some maintenance. As a once-a-month player, it was moderately challenging. The weather was excellent and we had a good time. For the person who wants to work on their target golf skills, this is a good course for them.

Great course for developing skills

This coarse has a lot of water and sand making it easier to screw up. Really teaches you to focus on skills to avoid danger areas.
