Sugar Ridge Golf Club
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.

Been better
Fairways were a lil burnt. Greens were a lil bumpy. I've just seen the course in better condition before.
Rude management
The course was in decent shape but the staff and management are extremely rude and disrespectful, blaming us of doing mischief on the course when we did no such thing. He only asked us because we were a younger group. He didn't ask anyone except for us. He also got extremely vulgar and angry with us. My group of friends will not be back anytime soon.
Rude and Unprofessional
I just finished playing a 6 way, which the worker in the pro shop was aware of and okay with. When going to pick the front or the back 9, we chose the back due to the front nine being backed up. We had 6 people, and were trying to take our time and not hold up any golfers behind us. We were asked to split up which we obliged to, and played very quick. After we were done and loading our clubs up, we were approached by 3 rangers, with a score card that had profanity written off of it. We were rudely accused of doing this and leaving it on the green, and when we denied, we were also scolded for taking the back 9 without permission. We attended this course at least twice a week, and they just lost good business for being unprofessional and rude.
Beautiful views
Hilly, scenic course with great vistas and some unique holes... Friendly, helpful staff... Course is all chopped up from the original layout! Impossible to walk since you keep skipping back and forth from original front 9 to the back 9. No flow. Some long rides from greens to tees...
Picturesque and challenging course...super friendly staff.
Picturesque and challenging course...super friendly staff...would definitely play again.
Placement Golf
Excellent golf course, you must control your ball to play this course well. Some of the most beautiful holes in the area.
There is a lot of elevation change on this course and I would not even think of walking this one.
Always a treat
Always a pleasure to play this course. It was in good condition considering time of year. I will be back.
Weekday Fall Round
Played a morning fall round on a sunny brisk day. Course had been aerated two weeks earlier and we found fairways and greens back to normal conditions. Fairways were well grassed and greens held shots and rolled true. Got a great price on Golf Now and when arrived at course found out it was customer appreciation weekend and received a free lunch. That was a very nice touch to finish off a great day. Course was not crowded and we moved right along completing round in under 4 hours.
Beautiful course always a treat to play
The course was in great shape and as always somewhat challenging. But the scenery is beautiful no matter what time of year you play it.
Definitely one of my favorite courses in the area.
Great fun
W have played this course many times over this summer and really enjoy. all of the above is true.
Great times
I had a really good time. Paired up with another twosome who were a lot of fun. No wait on any tee box and just a spectacular day
Nice course, cranky staff and poor cart paths
Played on a Sunday afternoon and had a good round. Long distance between holes and sometimes you crossed over other holes and tee boxes on the way to next one. Zoysia fairways very nice.
great course!
This course is amazing. Beautiful scenery. Great course layout and very well maintained. This is my new favorite course I would recommend this course to any one
Always a fun time !
Great course! Greens and fairways are always excellent. Pace of play was really slow. Front nine went really good. Back nine came to a crawl... Not sure if they squeezed some peeps in your not. But always enjoy playing here.
Average local course
Average public course. The tee boxes could be better maintained, few were actually flat. 30$ is the most I would pay for this course.
Slow on weekends, but worth it
After playing years ago, revisited course due to good price ($18 per round) via Golfnow. Since I'm now hitting 86-96, it was a nice experience to play it. Nice rolling hills, but not killer steep. It was a busy Sat., there was a wait on each hole, but the fun we had overshadowed that. Nice facilities and course was in good condition.
No Thank You
Decent course conditions. Tee boxes were mostly awful. Cannot play out of the sand here. Marshalls somehow let a 6-some out on a Saturday which led to a 3+ hour front 9. Finally broke it up at the turn. Arrived at 10:25 for a 10:39 tee time. Did not get checked in and teed off until almost 11:00. Poorly designed course, probably decent value for a week day but for weekend golf pace of play must be enforced and it was not in the slightest., Thumbs Down.
Nice morning for golf
The Sugar Ridge course was fine and the rate via GN was excellent. The front 9 was definitely more challenging than the back. The greens could use a little work but overall we're in good but not great shape. The staff we're not very friendly...not sure if it was the early morning or their general disposition.
Well worth the trip to southeast Indiana
Nice course with challenging layout. Beautiful fairways, nice greens and pleasant scenery. Only downside is the sand traps are like rocks. Need a little more work than just dragging them. Not sure the last time they were actually raked, or turned over. That issue is not a reason to not play. Well worth the visit. The staff is always friendly, and accommodating.
Great Value.
Staff always very friendly. Really short course but fun. I believe it's a par 70. Back is 34. Very nice layout as far as woods and seperation go.
