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.

Best I ever seen it, sweet !
Up from 352 an its my 1st time here this yr, its real nice nice.
Smokin Hot
Great course.
This course is great, but we waited on almost every hole. For a Monday at 11AM, it was disappointing.
course conditions steadily improving
New Zolzia grass is taking hold and thus improving fairway conditions. Greens are consistent for speed and smoothness. Currently cartpath repair is in progress. Overall conditions are good to great and I can see it only getting better as the cartpath work progresses.
Course has issues..
It's a nice layout and the greens were in pretty good shape, but the rest of the course was not good. They apparently tried to put in new fairways this year but they haven't taken very well. I give this 2 stars simply because of the greens being in good shape. But I probably won't go back.
It's Back !
After several maintenance projects, Sugar Ridge is, once again, one of the hidden gems of the Tri-State area. The greens were consistent in speed and smooth. The fairways have filled nicely after a complete makeover.
Great course
Great course had a great time and been playing there pretty regularly since I have relocated to the area.
Great shape!!!
Fairways and Greens are in excellent condition on 4/23/13. There was a lot of wildlife from deer, turkey, ducks, and hawks flying above. The wildlife makes the golf that much more relaxing for me!
Challenge from the tips, friendly staff, course was in good shape
Very enjoyable. Course was in good shape tee to green. Played from the tips to increase the challenge. Course is tight enough in areas that one can get into trouble if spraying the ball around.The layout has changed since the course was first built due to additional housing, snakes around a bit, but is clearly marked to direct you to the next tee. Carts are a bit long in the tooth.
Staff was very friendly and the great weather made it a very enjoyable round.
Very wet
Fairways had two different grasses. Cart paths in horrible conditions. It's only worth 18 bucks. Greens were ok.
Solid course in fair shape
The course overall was in fair shape, fairways were in ok shape, greens were a little sandy. some bunkers were ok others were awful. Playing from the back tees I considered it a moderately challenging course maybe a 3/5. I did really like the layout (somewhat similar to pebble creek/beech creek). We played for $24 with a cart on a Sunday so it was a good deal. We did however, wait on many holes for the groups in front of us to get moving. The staff was kind of goofy but tolerable. Just make sure you take the correct numbered cart. I saw a fellow patron take some heat for messing that up. Oh and when playing this course try to hit it straight and in the fairways, I find it much easier that way.lol.
Don't let the scorecard fool you-this course is NOT easy!!!
This course is one of the "hidden gems" in town. The PoP here is not the best because there is alot of yardage to traverse between several of the holes and is is VERY easy to find trouble on this course with EVERY shot. The best way I can describe Sugar Ridge is to say this is "white knuckle golf" at it's finest. Every hole is fraught with danger and the greens are lightning fast. Trust me when I say this course plays alot longer than it appears on the scorecard and the white tees are set at 5650 yards for a reason!
One of the most beautiful courses you will ever play and every hole seems to be set in it's own little world. They have reconfigured this course many times over the years but they have it set it right now- if you haven't played here lately, give the course another chance- it's breathtaking (in more ways than one!)
This course was fun!
I had been here before and promised I would be back....found it on Golf Now for an incredible price! Had to come a little hilly but great place to ..play golf and enjoy your round!
Course is challenging yet amatuer friendly.
Greens are fast and consistent. Fairways in great condition. As with all golf courses they have problem with inconsiderate people not repairing ball marks on green.
Overall Nice Course
Nice course for the price. Pretty challenging. Great staff!!
They could use more ball washers and trash can at the tee boxes.
Overall good place to play.
Nice zoisa fairways.
Sugar Ridge is a good course for the average and above player. It has some challenging holes and some easy ones that anyone can make par on. It is in real good shape and they have planted zoisa grass in the fairways and they are much easier to hit from.
This is not the normal course, it has many different holes. Interesting!
The course plays very well, not a good walking course due to the distance between some holes. The greens were very fast on this day, We have played the course before and they were not as fast the previous times. This is a hilly course that is very fair.
This course has some awesome nature, and views!
This is the second time I have played the course and I enjoyed it even more than the first time! There is a nice mix of Nature and wildlife, along with very pretty views that you won't get at some of the courses in the area!! One of my favorites! I plan on playing often in the upcoming season!
Great course for the price
Challanging enough for the novice player with some very fast greens pin placement can make it very difficult.
nice interesting course
nice scenery with very friendly staff-challenging holes without being discouraging
Nice Course
The staff is very friendly. The food and drinks are fairly priced and taste good. The greens are in great shape. It is a real nice golf course the only problem is it is a little short. But it is well worth it and greens are as nice as Shaker Runs or the Elks. And the pace of play is nice not alot of waiting
