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 in good shape . Started on hole ten for some reason. It is always better to end your day playing the Island par 3 no. 18 .

Like it alot

I'm a avid golfer. I play the different courses on the weekends. This I must say is in my top 5 courses that I have played. The fairways was good. Greens tough to judge. This course makes u think on some shots and some u have to be spot on. Rough is deep and some spots are hard if u hit there. But the overall hard and challenging course & I love that in a course.

Nice course

Nice course. Very wide open if you prefer playing from the fairways. The trees don't really give you any help when you hit those as well. Pace was very slow the day I was there. It took 5 1/2 hours to play 18. Overall, it's a really nice course to play for the money

Coure conditions

It was a very pleasant experience. My 3 some played in about 3 hours. One set of 2 walkers in front of us but they let us play through after following them for 2 holes. Overall, I would recommend this course.

Only played 9 due to slow pace of play

We showed up and they sent us off the back with another pair. In front of us they sent off a bacholer party that was 3 or 4 foursomes. As we started the staff said they were aware and would be on the group to keep up pace of play. That did not occur as it took 3 hours to play 9. We had to wait several minutes after every shot. The "drunk fest" as the staff put it was not playing ready golf and we only saw 1 ranger the entire time we were out there. Nothing was said about pace of play to them. We ended up walking off after playing 9 since we did not budget 6 hours to play.

Terrible Condition

Drainage was awful. Fairways and rough were the same length. Greens not taken care of at all. Lots of pitch marks unattended too. Bunkers were full of rocks. Would not recommend or play again. Tee boxes are not level either.

It was great playing back in Ohio where I grew up. The course was just as I remembered it 6 years ago.

Quirky and fun but out of the way.

I played this course more frequently in the past. They used to specialize in outings. It's odd in that you go through a narrow tunnel to access the first four holes. Maintenance has suffered a bit from the economic slump, carts and paths are a bit rough, but everything works and the greens are surprisingly good. Fairways are generous. It's surrounded by cornfields, but the views are pretty good this fall, and there are lots of trees. Not a lot of elevation changes. Back is unique with consecutive par 5s and concludes with a short par 3 island green. It's a fun course and good value if you don't mind a little drive.

Worth the drive.

Great course, great layout. A mixture of long and short holes and good use of water. 18th hole is an island green and a great way to finish. The fairways are a bit rough and since we had a good summer, I would have expected them to be better.

I loved how open the course was.

i didn't have any problem with the course. The algae on all the water wasn't the greatest to look at though. My main issue is with how long it took to play. It took us 5 and a half hours to play and had a wait on virtually every hole. Don't know what the problem was because there was hardly anyone there when we were finished.

Good Course

I hate to provide negative reviews, but the course needed a lot of attention. A group of us played this course last year and it was in great shape. We were expecting the same this time but that was not the case. The tee boxes on several holes were so bad that we went well behind the markers to find a spot well enough to hit from. The fairways were also in need of attention. The greens were in good shape. Our group plays together every week and we agreed that this course was the the worst so far. I would still recommend this course even with the deficiencies listed above. Number 18 is a memorable hole.

Average Course I do not need to play again.

Let’s just say my day did not start as planned here. I was a single that I had purchased the evening before on GolfNow. When I arrived at the course, the worker in the Pro Shop told me that they were going to have trouble fitting me in since the threesome I had originally been paired with as bringing a fourth. I was not happy. Don’t sell something if you cannot deliver! He told me to just go out to the Starter and see if he could fit me in somewhere. Luckily for me, and for them, a group showed up who was missing a fourth, so I was able to jump in with them – and they were acceptable to this. I finally got off about 8am when I was originally supposed to be off @ 7:40. The course was open and easy driving with a few water hazards sprinkled around. The fairways needed some attention. The greens were in good shape but shaggy and slow. I’m glad this was a Hot Deal through GolfNow. If I had to pay full price I would have been greatly disappointed. I more than likely will not return to play here again – unless it is a free round and someone else is picking up the bill. One more thing, no water on the course for drinking – no beverage cart – there is a soda machine on 13 Tee Box that will get you for $2 per bottle of soda.

Open layout

The course is good for all levels. Wide open tee shots on most holes. Greens were in decent shape. fairways and rough mowed nicely.

Challenging last 3 holes with island green on 18.
