Indian Ridge Golf Club

I played 18 in a foursome with my brothers, it was our first time playing at Indian Ridge and all of us are experienced golfers. We showed up 5-10 minutes early for a 4:33pm tee time and were immediately met by the marshal who rushed us to the tee box, saying we were running behind schedule and were late (even though we weren’t late, and we were the last group off the box for the day due to league play)

The Marshal directed us to the 10th hole and told us to play 10-18 then circle back to hit 1-9 to let the leagues get their matches done. This wasn’t a big deal to us and we were happy to start on 10. The marshal gave us a few pointers for how to approach the hole which were appreciated, and off he went. Or so we thought. The Course Marshal followed us within 50-100 yards for 14 of the 17 total holes we were able to play. He repeatedly came up and talked to our group in excess holding up our play, and then later in the round changed his tune on our group and told us to pick up the pace because we were going too slow to complete the course before close (8:30).

We’re not sure if we were followed because the marshal was just bored and wanted to watch us play, or if it was because of our ages (18-25 yo) but the experience left a sour taste in all of our mouths. I’m sure Indian Ridge deals with a lot of drunk college students acting like fools, Miami University is right up the road, but we weren’t drinking and we all agreed that had we been left alone from the beginning, we would have been able to finish the entire round before dark.

At no fault of the course, the greens were pitched up terribly. TERRIBLY. So bad that a 10-foot putt required me to fix at least two pitch marks before putting. That's the fault of the golfer, not the course, but it's a shame nonetheless.

What the course could have done better was speak to the twosome giving lessons on the course. Our threesome watched a guy putt a ball six times from the same spot while receiving instruction between each putt while we stood on the tee box of the par three 8th. After we played the par three in its entirety, we met up with the twosome still on the tee box of the ninth, with the cart parked on the tee box with them and more instruction and multiple balls being hit. We asked if we could hit and play through, but there was a language barrier, and they hit into us after we tried playing through. Considering the ranger was following us to ensure we would get the carts in by 8:30, someone had to notice this poor behavior.

Too many hackers on the course slow the pace of play.

The greens are in decent condition considering how many hackers don't fix their divots.

Fairways are great.

Rough not so high you can’t find balls.

Will play again.

Frost delay had us in a log jam. Open course but still challenging.

Greens are nearly perfect. Very very fast with perfect roll.

Fairways in great shape.

Course obviously drains welll.

Pace of play wasn’t so good.

You must play here just a great course that is well groomed from tee to green .

If you haven't played here your missing a gem . Tee to green in excellent condition . Always working to improve the course..

Indian Ridge is one of my favorite courses in the SW Ohio area. The course conditions are as nice as any high dollar resort. For the cost, it is a tremendous value. Pace of play is extremely slow during the Miami school year. Occasionally there are young men and women that respect the game and practice proper course decorum but its not uncommon to get stuck behind the opposite.

Tee off didn’t notify me that carts were not available this day

A little windy but a great day to play golf. Course was recently aerated so the greens were a little bumpy. Nice layout, friendly staff and the pace of play was excellant. With the Golf Now discount, a GREAT value.

Overall always great . Heads up greens aerated at this time .

I quit after 12 holes when there were 4 groups on 13th hole.

Every time zinc tend to experience the pace of play is slow. Overall the course is in excellent condition.
