Sugar Ridge Golf Club

Of the various courses I play, Sugar Ridge has the best greens. They all run fast, but are very well maintained. The rest of the course is well kept, but the greens are why I go back.

I have been playing at Sugar Ridge when is wasn't so well-known. Its a shorter course, but has plenty of risk/reward challenges. Beautiful views. Well-kept. I probably won't be playing here as often as the price has sky-rocketed.

Decent course, short with a good mix of tight and wider fairways. Greens could have been in better shape. The big issue is that we played on a Sunday and the course was horrifically overbooked, taking 3 hours to play the front nine and about 2.5 to play the back.

I have played this course about a month ago and enjoyed it. But this time it seemed to be over booked. We ended up getting a rain check for the back 9 which was nice of the staff to allow. But it took us a little over 3 hours to play 9 for a twosome. There were several holes that had 3 or 4 groups waiting to tee off.

Went to course on Sunday 6/7/2020, walked in to pay for my round with 2 other golf partners and asked the manager what the rules on the carts were since most places are doing one person per cart but did not know if it changed recently. The manager then proceeded to yell at me about demanding my own cart. Verbatim " I don't understand why 20 something year olds would come demand their own cart when you were probably drinking beer and wrestling around with your buddies the night before." I told him i did not demand my own cart, simply asked what the rules were if they had changed. He said next week he would charge me $11 extra to have my own cart but for now I could have my own but to keep in my mind that they need to survive. I told him in order to survive you need golfers to come back and my golf buddies and i will NEVER return because of how i was treated. He said that is fine. I would not recommend this place simply on that fact. In a time where we are all figuring out new rules and common practices a golf round should be a small release instead they manager not only guilted/shamed me but really showed his face to the other customers in the pro shop. In times like these i am all for supporting small businesses and donating time and money but his actions were completely out of line. I will tell everyone about this experience and to not golf there. There was a couple of women on hole 18 for a par 3 challenge that said they work for a local food bank and for $10 i had the chance to win money or gift card from the pro shop depending on how close i was to the pin and if i did not make it within 6 foot or in the hole it was a $10 donation to the foodbank they worked for; i had to ask them if they worked for the course because if it was a ruse or benefiting the golf course in any way i was not going to help. After she assured me she had no connection to the course and money would not go to the course i paid for mine and 2 friends shots and we donated $30 to the foodbank.

I really do like this course. I like the layout and the opportunities and challenges that it offers. However, I have played here twice, now. Each time, pace of play was an issue. There is no starter. Therefore, players/groups just tee off one after another, after another...there is no spacing between groups. The other issue is that singles refuse to pair up out there and add to problem. Both times I played I have had to wait up to 15 minutes on tee boxes. (once I was sent out as a single, and most recently I played in a group of 3) At least once in each round I got to a Par 5 tee box and counted out players representing 4 tee times on the hole. That makes play brutal!

PLEASE Get a Starter and a Ranger!

Other than that, I like the course a lot.

Rough pace of play. Rough carts. Rough course layout. Rough cart paths. Always wet and sloppy.

Rough course. Rough shape. Rough cart paths. Rough, slow pace of play. Rough Rangers.

Good course with some challenging and beautiful holes. Course was wet due to recent rains. Otherwise it was good.

While there are some wide gaps between a few holes, my wife and I love playing here. We play from the front tees (age related), and most of the time reach GIR. They keep the course in good shape and are always making improvements. It's quite hilly and requires using shot strategy.

Great course. Denny does a great job keeping it up.

We had an awesome time. Course was in great condition
