About
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.

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.
Tee times
Shouldn't allow people to start tee times if you have others who got tee times
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!!!
Sugar Ridge
Too early in the year for an overall excellent review. Very wet in places but played 18 in 3 hours!
Late Year Play
It was middle of December so most grass is dormant and frosts have killed some grass. The fairway grass fell into the aforementioned description; otherwise, this course would have received a 5-star review.
Absorb Routing
Course used to be 27 holes, but the sold 9 for houses. The resulting 18 holes is one of the worst routings ever! Yes the course has a lot of hilly terrain and rolling fairways, but there are just too many head scratcher bad holes on this course to recommend playing.
Good course but greens aerated
I play this course several times a year, even though it's a pretty far drive for me. I like the layout (aa few quirky holes) and the course is well maintained. I wish I had known the greens had recently been aerated though. It was pretty much impossible to hit a put that would run straight. The sand dressing made it like putting through mud. I will try to play at east once more this year, after the greens fill in.
Worst golf course I’ve ever played. Won’t be back.
SR
Some easy holes and some very hard for a short hitter.
Too expensive for a goat path.
Obviously, fall is going to be different conditions than spring and summer months, but I’ve played this course about 20 times in my life, and never has the course been in decent shape. No grass on tee boxes, bunkers are like concrete, cart paths are falling apart, and muddy ground all over the course, even if it hasn’t rained for a week, just to name a few. I paid $20 for 18 holes in the fall but in the summertime, prices can go up to over $40, almost $50, with people showing up in jeans and cutoff shirts. Just not a good enough course for the price they ask.
