About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6106 yards
Slope 123
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.

Pace of play needs help

The pace was slow but that was fine. The real problem were the douche bags who thought it was ok to tee off 2-3 times each and then they sucked so bad they spent 20 mins searching for golf balls. I guess they didn't realize there is a maximum amount of swings/hits that you get per 18 holes. I don't mind a little slow play bit this was beyond ridiculous. I mentioned it to the ranger but he wasn't too concerned.

Great Course HORRIBLE Management

Used to be my favorite course. Now?? You could book 6am on a Tuesday morning and they’ll have 16 carts lined up on the first tee. You don’t pair people together & no starter on a packed Sunday???? Took us 3.5 hours to play NINE holes of golf, 2 of my buddies ended up leaving. Cart path only for quite literally no reason. There was a group of 14 year olds in front of us who couldn’t get the ball 50 yards in the air. Why you are letting people who can’t play do that is beyond me. Long as you greedy people get your money right? Not even to mention every single item in the pro shop is up charged a ridiculous amount $35 for a pack of supersofts? Do you seriously need that extra $10 when your tee times are like a minute apart? You’ve lost touch with reality and real golfers. Whoever is the head pro up there, if you have any respect for the game, quit your job and start doordashing or something. Absolutely pathetic GET A GRIP.

Fun course.

I really enjoyed playing this course. I have played it several times. Seems like it's always well maintained. They are currently making a lot of improvements. Greens were in excellent conditions as well as the fairways. Pay to play with a little rough the day that I played. There was a group of six that were holding everybody up. They were playing their own ball and playing very slow. Other than that, nothing to complain about. And the summer, they open the tiki hut outside of the clubhouse. It's a cool little hang out for a mid-round drink or snack. Also, is a great place to sit around and shoot the breeze with fellow players afterwards.

Terrible waits

1106 tee time, teed off at 1142. 4 holes took 1hr 40 mins. Pace of play was HORRIBLE. Every hole had no less than 8 carts. Terrible scheduling supervision and inability to push along the groups causing issues

A few weeks away from being in great condition

Sugar Ridge golf course continues improvements. The fair ways are still dormant, but overall the course was in good condition. They are repairing many cart pass and cleaning up overgrown area. This is going to be a go to golf course for me this summer.

EXCELLENT PLACE TO PLAY

It's a super fun and challenging course. Each time I've been there, it has been in great condition. I only gave 4 stars on course conditions with this review for 1 reason. They are currently doing some work on a handful of the holes and car paths. It meander thru a residential neighborhood and that is expanding. All in all, it's one of my favorite courses in a 50 mile radius of where I live.
