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.

Fantastic Course

Course layout is pretty cool. You have to drive through a new suburb that's currently being built. Course is well maintained. Staff was super friendly. They have a Tiki Bar with a decent selection of food and adult drinks. I'll definitely be returning to Sugar Ridge in the future.

What drought?!

I'll tell you what, for being in such a drought, this course is in amazing condition. Been playing here quite a bit lately and I never get tired of playing here. The staff is friendly, the course is challenging enough. Best of all the greens are nice and green and roll consistent and probably just as important to me the tee boxes are even in good shape. If I had one negative thing to say it's that the cart path is about due for some attention but I would not let that keep me from playing here. Nice job greens keeper!

The Challenge of Sugar Ridge

Love this course. It's a challenging course that has hilly terrain and requires quality golf shots. The greens are in good shape and a pleasure to putt on. Give it a try and bring an extra ball or two.

Should be cheaper for what it is

The course rolls through random parts of an under construction neighborhood. The tee boxes were not very well maintained and there was white weeds all throughout the fairways and course, making nearly impossible to find any ball that isn’t straight down the fairway.

Excellent course for the price.

For the price this is a great course. The course was challenging and had some nice views. The carts have GPS which wasn't expected at all. A few of the tee boxes could use some attention but the fairways and greens were in great condition. I will definitely be golfing here more from now on.

GREAT COURSE!

We played on 08-10-2024. The course was in amazing shape. The tee boxes, fairways and greens looked great! I went with a friend, and he and I for paired with another 2some. They were great to play with. The pace of play was a little slower than usual. No problem though. That allowed our group to play leisurely and also play our own shots. There was no need to play scramble or best ball. The course layout is fairly unconventional. There are some nee rputes tonthe cart path, due to the expansion of the neighborhood which winds thru the course. Driving theu there is a fun ride though

a lot of great scenery. The service at the Tiki Bar was fantastic. We grabbed some swing lube before teeing off then grabbed another refreshment at the turn. Great staff and an excellent atmosphere. One of my favorite public courses to play. 10/10 would recommend and I will most definitely play there again.
