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.

Course was in very poor condition, you could have a good shot just off the fairways and could not find your ball in the rough. Will not play here again. If the price were less it may be worth it but not when they are charging what a really nice course is charging.

Dynamic Layout

Played on a busy Saturday. Pace of play as expected. No hole is the same and kept group intrigued by course. Rough could use some work to eliminate clover, however fairways, collars and greens well kept. Course is fair and if you are staying in play, a good score is awaiting. Would play again gladly.

Lot up updates

I've been playing Sugar for about 10 years. The course is in the best shape I've ever seen it. They have had a few spot over the years that were in bad shape. They have addressed all of them. The greens are perfect. They are building new homes on the course...they don't interfere with play. They have also put in a lot of new cart path. They raised the greens fees, but at least you can see they are putting money into the course.

STOP OVERBOOKING

There is a 4-6 group backup off the first tee box from the very first tee time throughout the rest of the busy hours. All players are stacked up on top of each other. Starter tells everyone who pulls up “well you’re all going to be super late, sorry about your luck” and this is not even close to the first time this exact scenario has happened. Hopefully everyone likes playing in front of a crowd because you’ll have about 20 guys watching you off the tee box. And I also hope you like waiting 10 minutes after every shot.

Long day

I usually really enjoy this course. Today seemed to be over booked. We played for 4.5 hours and still had two holes to play before we decided to leave. It was cart path only but there were several groups that were moving at a turtles pace. When we got to hole 1 there was a group of 4 on the green, a group of 4 teeing off, a group of 3 waiting, then it was our turn. I still love the course but the tee times need managed better. It should not take 20 minutes to tee off at your first hole when you were on time for your tee time.

Nice staff but pace of play was too slow

The course was in pretty good early season shape. Greens were nice and rolled true. Fairways were mostly dormant but ok. The big issue was pace of play. 3 hours for the front nine and over 2 1/2 hours for the back nine. Just too long. They need to limit the tee times for the rounds to be enjoyable.

The tee boxes are not in good condition and every fairway is yellow in color and lifeless, not sure what happened to them but very disappointed. The greens are however in great condition this early in the season and the staff is very friendly.

When a long delay!

Nice course and friendly staff. But, after having to wait over an to hour past our start time was ridiculous! They were happy to charge full price upfront, but didn’t even have the respect to tell us about the hour plus long delay, until we had already paid. Great management/customer service!!!
