Indian Ridge Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

First Time
Played over 20+ courses around the Cincinnati area and Oxford is a little bit of a drive,but I thought it was worth it. Compared to other courses around here I would give it a good rating better than average. The fairways are nice, greens rolled true, and the course layout was nice. Every hole has a little different flavor and I enjoyed it. I would recommend if you haven't played it give it a try, but don't be expecting a PGA tour course. Overall I will say I'll be back, although the bunkers could use some work was the only negative. Fortunately I don't hit bunkers so nonetheless it doesn't matter!
Better than I expected
I have read some very bad reviews about this course over the past couple of years. I played here the first year it opened and found it very nice for a new course. So I booked a hot deal round for two of us after hearing better things about it. It really was quite nice fairways rolled good, greens were fast and true, will be back.
Great Day at the course
The weather was great, the course was in great shape and the pace of play was excellent. Looking forward to going back.
Under New Management
This course is just a few miles south of Miami University in Oxford OH. New owners and managers have invested heavily and made it an extremely good place to play again. Beautiful tee boxes, fairways, and greens... Good food too!
Check it out!
New management has done a fabulous job
Great course to play at, one of my favorites. The new management here has brought the course from one of the worst, to in my opinion one of the best courses in the area. Fairways and greens in great shape. Still some areas where you can tell that the course is being renovated, but nothing that affects the way you play. I would highly recommend this course, and will continue to play this course whenever I can.
It's Back
Track hit rock bottom a few years ago, however, glad to report it's back better than ever!
Worth the drive...bunkers are filled, teebox's are well maintained, , even took the swamp out on 16....left a few birds out there...over power the front and hang on for the back to finish with nice round
Worth the drive
I've played Indian Ridge a number of times over the past several years and this year is the best that it has been. The fairways and greens are well maintained and the course is a good mix of long and short holes. They have improved the drainage issues of the past and you can't beat the price. I would recommend giving it a try, I will be back!
Course has come a long way
Getting in great shape. A little more work and it should play like it was intended.
Impeccable course, good challenge
This was my first time playing Indian Ridge, and I was impressed. Fairways are nicely cut, and rough isn't too heavy. Layout, with dog-legs, elevation changes, and just the right amount of water make it a challenge.
It was good to see a ranger on the course, something I am seeing less and less often in the area, even though there were no pace issues.
Only negative, and it was a very minor issue, was the poor condition of the cart path is some locations.
Thanks so much for the nice comments about our golf course. It has improved greatly over the last year and we will continue to make improvements. Our next big project is to paved our entrance and do cart path work on the golf course.
Much Improved
The improvements and conditions on the course and taking shape. If you have not played here in the last couple of years it is in the best form in the last 7-8 years. It is back to being a must play!!!!!
Great Experience
Played on 11/25 in the afternoon. Spectacular day for late November, windy on the elevated holes. Course was in great shape for the time of year in Ohio. Greens were sandy but rolled pretty true. Greens were receptive in spite of lack of rain recently. Some construction to the right of the fairway on 16, but really didn't affect play. Staff was very friendly, and it was a great bargain, only $15 per golfer with cart !! I have played here several times, this was the best experience yet.
Great layout!
Undulating greens, moderate elevation changes and difficult approaches make this course a welcome challenge for the avid golfer. Would recommend this course many times over.
Glad this course is back!
I have always liked the layout of this course. It has some fun looks, challenging holes, ( I would say some easy holes but there are no easy holes).
However, due to the ownership of the course, sometimes the conditions would slip.
I have played Indian Ridge 4 times this years and I'm glad to report that the course is back. If you are coming from Cincinnati, it is worth the 15 additional minutes in the car. The pace of play is almost always pretty good and therefore makes it worth the drive. There are a few other course that stack players up like cord-wood and that kills the experience. .
I have never written a review on Golf Now before, but I felt compelled to do so. I see some of the reviews from years ago and while I think those reviews were fair at the time, they no longer apply.
In all fairness, the sand-traps need lots of work, but I can see that they are under repair. So, if you love the sand, you might not like this at this time.
Everything else, I really enjoy.
Great Layout.
This is the third time I have played this course. The layout is great. Links style course with moderate elevation changes makes this course fun yet challenging. I will play this course again.The greens had recently been aerated and there was much sand on them making it difficult to putt butt other than that course was in spectacular shape.
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.
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
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
Thanks so much for coming out and playing and for your review of Indian Ridge. If you are unaware we are new owners of Indian Ridge and are trying our best to provide golfers with the best experience. We just completed renovation of all 54 bunkers this spring. It was a year long process. I'm hoping you can help me with what we need to do to make them better. It would sure help us out. Thanks so much.
