Rating 68.9

One half of Sugar Ridge Golf Club is situated in extreme southwestern Ohio while the other half winds up into the Indiana hills. The border location may be unconventional but the setting provides a dramatic backdrop. The course sprawls across rolling hills that are abundant with wildlife. Wild turkey and deer have been known to roam the golf course. The layout has a few parallel fairways though the trees, and hills give each hole a completely secluded feel. The back nine feels more open than the front, but that may only be because of the ponds and lakes that come into play on many of the holes. Throughout Sugar Ridge Golf Club, golfers will find that the par 3s are fairly straightforward and the par 5s have sloping, uphill fairways that make them feel even longer. There are a few memorable par 4s, notable for both their scenery and level of difficulty.

Always a great place to play!

Since discovering this gem not far from me, my buddies an I play here several times a season! On this day we met and played with a Father and Son duo(Butch and Jason) from a nearby community and had a great time playing with them! Although the leaves are off of the trees, the crews seems to have done a decent job of keeping them isolated to the tree lines and off of the fairways, but with the wind, this will vary; the greens all looks good, but have been aerated and have plenty of sand on them.

Still a great course to play; be back soon!!!

Fall

Love this course but it has seen a tremendous amount of play this season. Greens show a lot of my fellow golfers need to learn proper way to repair ball marks on greens. All other course conditions are good.

Awesome views and layout

One of the best layouts I've seen. The course is well-maintained. Great risk/reward holes. Course management is a must. You will learn target golf or take a beating!

If you haven't been here yet, why?

Spectacular views. Awesome risk/reward throughout.

This has always been my favorite course. It is so well designed and very well maintained.

There are a couple par 4s that big hitters can reach the green, but it is very risky with green side ponds.

Overall, this course will really make you consider your shots. Target golf is definitely the key.

It has become very popular for good reason.

If you haven't played here yet, you are really missing out.

They made us leave after playing 9 holes…

The staff overbooked the course and made us leave halfway through our rounds. Didn’t offer money back or a rebate. This course stole time and money! Wouldn’t recommend

Great Course for Hot Dral

Challenging with lots of elevation of greens. Arrangement of tee boxes very far apart from each other.

Hilly and beautiful!

This is a very picturesque golf course with lots of elevation changes, ponds, and trees lining a lot of the fairways. We saw flocks of wild turkeys on several holes. There was dense fog when we teed off at 7:30 am and the rough was incredibly thick due to all of the rainful in the area. The course has a nice variety of uphill, downhill, right & left doglegs, and par 3's. We played from the white tees which makes the course very short, but from the longer tees it would be more of a challenge. Fairway landing areas were narrow on many holes but good tee shots are rewarded. Greens were very receptive and rolled true. THIS IS NOT A COURSE YOU CAN WALK - it winds through a housing development and there were many long cart rides between holes along with a lot of very steep elevation changes. I enjoyed the course and would definitely play it again.

Rainy day

The course, greens were in great condition. Golfers need to fix their divots. It rained most of the round but we did enjoy the course. I will play this course again. People were nice and very courteous.
