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.

Nice Place
Very nice course, but needs a little attention by the maintenance crew. The layout is very nice and it gives you challenges every hole. It does need to have more signage to the next hole as some of them aren't labeled. New golfers might find it challenging to find a few holes, but overall I do like this place and will recommend it.
Staff was super nice and very helpful.

FIRST TIME
Loved the course, pace was great.
Not a long course but very challenging for all levels.
Must ride in a cart for me as the course is very hilly.
even though there is housing all through the course I still felt like I was out in nature.
Can't wait to play this course again.
Thank you so much for your positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the course and found it challenging yet enjoyable for all skill levels. Our hilly terrain adds an extra element of excitement to the game. We're glad you had a great experience and felt connected to nature despite the surrounding housing.

Solid.
Solid course, great bang for the buck. Only complaints are carts severely underpowered for the slopes, and it’s hard to track some drives because of slopes

Great except for pace of play
Took 4 1/2 hours to play 18 holes. Me and a buddy of mine had to wait nearly every single shot from the first par 3 to the 18th hole. Great course, but definitely overbooked.
Good Layout Slow Pace
First time playing. Staff was very friendly and course layout is cool. Pace of play was terrible. Took almost 5.5 hrs to play 18.

This was a great track! Wish they had a driving range for warm up! They are making improvements right now. Wish there was a little more water and sand. Not a very picturesque course but very nice, especially for the value!!

Challenging
I’ve been playing this course since it’s infancy. It has survived many changes. It was unrecognizable today from the last round a couple of years ago. Improved layout, paths and amenities.
Appears to be headed in the direction of a great community course vs hilly country course.
Felt exhausted by hole 15, due to hilly terrain. Loved it. Had to push through physical and mental weariness.
Keep moving forward with the changes!

Great course for the price. Confirmed a Hot Deal with the $10/month discount. Staff is great with no hassels. Carts ran fine. Course is hilly and some tee boxes are far from the previous greens so don't plan on walking the course.
Thank you for the positive feedback! We're glad you enjoyed our course and took advantage of the Hot Deal discount. Our staff is committed to providing a great experience without any hassles. We appreciate your observation about the course layout and the condition of the carts. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Pace of play
We had 2 tee times. I was in the second group that started at 6:54. We had a group yelling at us from behind multiple times during the round. On the 15th hole there was a starter driving around. Then on 17th tee he came back and told us to pick up the pace. We finished at 11:24 which was exactly 4.5 hour round on a Sunday morning. Which also includes it taking 10+ minutes to get a cheeseburger at the turn, and some tee boxes so hard that I broke 3 plastic tees and resorted to using a short tee just to hit the drive. I'm all for pace of play but just because a group is waiting doesn't mean the group in front is playing slow. I went to the pro shop at 11:26 just to show we finished on time. Multiple players in our group said they won't play there again. It will be a long while for me and I usually play 5-10 times per year there because I love the layout.
With a cart, this course should be played in 3.5 - 4 hours and not much more. 4.5 hours means you're playing slow. Sorry but that is my opinion and have played this course several times. If there is no one in front of you, easily played in 3 hours.
Sugar Ridge
Good price and decent conditions but course is super hilly with lots of gimmicky holes. Payed for 18 but course booked an outing too close to morning tee times and didn’t get to play the back. They hurried us onto the front but groups were backed up 3 carts per hole. We left on the 11th hole since it would have taken 3 hours to finish.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your comments about the good price and overall conditions. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the hilly course and the scheduling issue with the outing. We understand your frustration with the pace of play and overcrowding. We value your input and will take it into consideration to improve our services.
Prepare for 6 hours if you’re lucky
This is the second time playing here in 12 months. Now I realize why I stopped…arrive and there’s no carts available, putting tee time back another 20 minutes. Then proceeds to go 6 hours for a less than average course. Balls are nearly impossible to find in the rough no matter how close to the fairway. Won’t be returning until the clubhouse starts pushing pace on some of these other golfers.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Comfortable
Pace of play on front 9 was horrible but back 9 was good.
One of the better values in the tristate
Sugar is one of my favorite courses in the tristate! Short enough that you can score but tight enough to keep you honest. Lots of slope so expect some tough lies even in the fairway. Most greens are someone small and if you miss you will be scrambling. The rough can sometime be US Open caliber and it does hold water in low areas. It’s full cart path though so you can ride in any condition. It can be a little challenging to navigate the first time but there is plenty of signage to assist you finding your way.
