Indian Ridge Golf Club
About
Located just a few miles south of Oxford, Indian Ridge Golf Club sprawls across rolling countryside sprinkled with walnut and cedar trees. It's the only course around for miles, making it the default favorite for local golfers but it's also popular for the affordable rates. The location provides peaceful seclusion as well as idyllic scenery. The golf course has a classic design with plenty of variety, giving it appeal for players of all skill levels. Water hazards and bunkers come into play throughout the course, often making for difficult approaches. Indian Ridge Golf Club stretches to just over 7,000 yards from the back tees. There are some holes that will please long hitters and risk-reward opportunities that will test advanced players, but the design is still player friendly enough for high handicappers.

shotmaqkers type course
we played the forward tees on most holes except for par 5s which were within range [ 500 yds. or less ]. the course was in great shape from tee to green. greens are the prime part of this course , very fast and true.there are some really good shot makers holes that make this an interesting course to play.
Excellent shape.
Fairways and greens were immaculate. Greens were fast and smooth. Interesting layout, front 9 easier than the back. Few blind tee shots, so next round should be easier. Staff was extremely friendly. Looking forward to playing again.
This corse has come a long ways this year
Great day of golf . The new owners have done a great job getting the corse in shape after it being neglected for so long .
Great Course
The course has lot of character. Never a dull flat straight holes..
getting there
Played last year and course was a dump. Better shape this year so hopefully next year it will be back to top shape.
Sloooow
I was disappointed with this course. The two golfers in front of us were sharing clubs - the greens keeper was well aware of this and did nothing. I won't play this course again . There are too many nicer courses to suffer through that again.
David, so sorry that you had a bad experience. We are new owners and trying to get the golf course back in shape. The golf course has improved greatly since we took over, we are not done yet and will get in better shape as we progress. Sorry for the slow play, please contact me to discuss the problem in further detail. Thanks
Indian Ride
Greens were fast and hard. Sand needs work. Back side considerably more of a challenge.
Nice course.
Great course, great value
This course has historically fast greens which take some getting used to. Sand traps are currently bare and under reconstruction. Staff is friendly and helpful in every way.
Seen big improvements
I have played this course over the years, since the beginning, and its nice to see it worth playing again. Its getting there. I will go back.
Back From the Dead!!
What a difference a few months and some serious commitment can make. The course known as Indian Ridge has come back to life. The imposter course known by the same name over the past several years is officially dead!!
The greens were in absolutely superb condition.....fast and true. The fairways, with the exception of a patch here and there, were more than acceptable. Tee boxes were good as well.
Staff was very friendly and were "all in" on the process of fully restoring Indian Ridge. There were at least 5 workers on the course restoring bunkers-a project which has already restored a significant number on the course.
The course was very playable and an exceptional bargain for the price that I paid on Golf Now. I will be returning over and over again.
Decent course
Greens and fairways were fast. Sand traps were dirt. Hard as concrete.
Seth, thanks so much for taking the time to rate our golf course. Sorry that someone at the counter didn't inform you of our bunker renovation. We have renovated 44 of the 54 bunkers so far and have put in 1500 tons of sand. We will have the other ten bunkers completed by the end of this year or the first of next. Thanks
pleasent surprised at how far course has come!!
I have played this course many times in recent year but had stayed away for the last few years due to the deteriorating course conditions. I had heard that new management had taken over the course and was actually working on getting the course back in playing shape. I was skeptical of what I had read and heard about the course because this has change management several times and there was no improvement in the course. The course was pretty wet when I played which was expected due to the amount of rain we had in recent days but the overall condition of the course has vastly improved from the last time I played. The greens and fairways were in the great shape. I have always enjoyed playing here due to the unique style and am glad that someone is bringing the course back to it original form. The only negative is that most of the bunkers are not playable but you can see that they are working to get them fixed and playable. Kudos to the new management and I will defiantly be back soon.
Big Improvements!
Played 7-3-15 and since I played there 6 weeks ago they have made big improvements! Greens were really nice and rolled true. Fairways were in good shape. They still have bunkers to replace but overall the course is looking good! Service is excellent and everyone there wants you to know they appreciate your business. Give Indian Ridge another try.
Wow! It's all new!
I played here a couple times a year every year up till 2013.At that point, the course was so bad I quit going. Went back this year because I heard there was new management, and I was not disappointed. The fairways and greens were in GREAT shape. You can tell there are improvements going on all over the course. I am going to make this one of my regular stops. If you played here when the course was not being taken care of, you'll be blown away. Clubhouse is great also.
Coming Back To Its Glory...
Played this course recently with some friends and was amazed at the how far this course has come. Its evident that the new ownership group has made it a priority to get this course back to its glory. Challenging layout yet fair to all levels of golfers. The back nine is as picturesque as it gets in this region. Staff was very professional and I look forward to playing this track in the near future.
WOW!!!!
I love this course and the staff is incredible..... The new owners of this gem of a course have done an amazing job starting the process of bringing the Ridge back to its prime...definitely worth it to get back out there and play.....
New Ownership - great turnaround so far!
Played today for the first time in over a year. Course had deteriorated greatly in past two years. However, it is under new ownership and in just a short time they are making a very strong comeback. The greens were in as good a condition as I have ever seen them in all the many years the course has been there. Fairways and tee boxs were in very good shape. The only issue for now is that all 50+ bunkers are under repair. In talking with one of the owners he said that it will take this summer to get the bunkers playable. But the rest of the course was very nice and is only going to get better. In talking with the pro there, who is very friendly and professional, they know what they are doing. In time, I believe Indian Ridge will be one of the premier course to play in this area. I encourage those who have never played to start and those who left because of the past conditions return. It is a very good course to play and is only going to get better.
Fun course, lots of work being done to make it better
I played 18 as a single in just under 3 hours, and that included playing through 3 groups. Playing from the White tees, it's a short and fun course. Or you can play it longer from the tips.
As other recent reviews have said, it's run down in some areas but they're working to make it better. The bunkers that have been repaired look great (better than any other Cincy courses, outside of the county parks), and most of the greens have issues with crabgrass around the perimeter but still playable while they make repairs.
Someone said the new owners switched 15/18, and I don't think apps like GolfShot have caught up with that change yet.
I will definitely be back this year, and expect that it'll be in pristine condition by the start of next season.
Much Better
Everything is greatly improved over the last few years except the bunkers and they are working on them. Glad to see this course bounce back.
Worth a look again.
I just wanted to echo some of the recent more positive reviews of this course. Indian Ridge was always a favorite until it fell into disrepair and we stopped playing there. My buddy and I decided to play it again this year after hearing the course had new owners. Although the course still has some rough spots, a definite commitment to improve the course can be seen. Fairways are in pretty good shape. The greens were decent but need some work. There is plan to refurbish/rehabilitate the traps and that is underway. They are building a new retaining pond near 14 which presumably will help keep the course irrigated during July and August when the course tended to burn out. Also saw new tractor/mowers, new/newer golf carts, and new boxes for water coolers. Played there twice this month, both times in 3 hours or under. Indian Ridge is definitely worth playing again. I give it two stars for now but based on what I've seen I would expect the condition of the course to continue to improve.
Thanks so much for coming out and playing at Indian Ridge. We are new owners and excited to be here. The golf course is much better than in the past and will continue to improve. Currently we have renovated 44 bunkers and have 10 more to go. Hopefully we will see you at the Ridge soon. Thanks
