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.

Good Course

I played on a rainy morning. The course was pretty much empty. I enjoy this course and find that the front 9 is more challenging. For the money I think its a great course to play.

Well Worth It

If you ever get a chance to play this course, DO IT!
One of the most scenic I've ever played, yes right here in southern Indiana. Plan to play it again soon.
I drove about sixty miles one way to play, well worth it. Rate it a 4.9 out of 5.

Too Early in the season

The course layout is great but the conditions were not up to par. Late spring and summer would be the best time to play this course.

horible cart paths

early in the year, but the greens could be a little better. Cart paths are very bad. Hard on carts and riders. tee beds were not over seeded last fall and greens could use some extra care.

Course Needs Rangers

Made a tee time for 18 holes. Front nine took 3 hours. There were 3 groups on the 10th hole, so we left.

nice course, worth the money

I feel it's kinda unfair to review this course because of the recent rain some areas were quite wet. Fairways and greens were very good but the rough was very penal because of the dampness and leaves. all in all a nice course and very scenic. my dad and I had a great time. P.S. friendly staff.

Don't ever walk this course !

I played Sugar Ridge for 2 reasons. First it was an unbelievable deal that I got off of Golfnow. I couldn't even play my home course, which I have a membership at, for the price I paid to play. Second it had been quite a few years since I have played the course and once again the layout had been changed. (I believe this was the 3rd or 4th different layout since it first opened back in the late 80's or early 90's. My problem with it is that you criss cross back and forth over the holes several times. So don't even consider WALKING THIS COURSE !

Super friendly staff and great course conditions.

The staff at Sugar Ridge is extremely friendly and welcoming to their course. The golf course itself was in great condition after the amount of rain we had a few days earlier. Definitely will return for more!

Terrible Layout

This course has an awful layout. You spend half of your time driving from one hole to another hole.

Hilly and interesting lay out

I have played at Sugar Ridge many times and I enjoy the large variety of holes on this course. Many up and down hill shots, dog legs left and right and many risk / reward holes including a pair of drivable par 4s. Throw in several holes where water is in play and you have a interesting round of golf. Fairways are wide and there are bail out areas on most holes so you do not have to be perfect on every shot. Greens were in good shape for this time of year and the course is maintained and in good condition. If you like to walk, this is not the course for you, because there are several holes where you have a very long distance between the green and next tee. This is a cart only layout. This is a fun, fair, lay out where the average golfer can have a good round as long as you play from the right tee box.
