Sugar Isle Golf Course was designed by Jack Kidwell, a familiar name among southern Ohio golf courses. Water is a prominent feature of the course, Kidwell incorporated it on more than half of the holes. Some 20 white sand bunkers are strategically placed throughout the layout, providing a scenic contrast to the water and lush greens. For an added challenge, many of the fairways are lined with mature trees although there is some room for error, which makes them more accessible. It is a course that will make you think but it is not too intimidating for beginners. The versatility makes it popular for outings and tournaments. Sugar Isle has even hosted the area's high school programs for more than 30 years. In addition to the golf course, there is also a driving range and large putting green.

Great Course

Sugar Isle is a great course. This was my second time playing there and it was awesome both time. Staff was friendly and the course has a great layout for any level of golfer. If there was one thing that could be improved, it would be to get new carts...BUT there is a reason they don't have new carts and you'll see why that is when you go from the 14th to 15th hole. It's a good story and a conversation piece, trust me. You won't regret playing here. It is one of my new favorite courses!!

Play here!

Course is in very good shape given the lack of rain. Greens are very challenging and were fast the day we played. It was busy, but to be expected given the beautiful weather. Would play again.

Great Day of Golf

I’ve played here many times but it’s been many years since I’ve been back, but I went and played around with my son and had an incredible time in the golf. Course was in great condition and the greens were also cut and very well-maintained.

Sand traps unplayable

Sand traps were unplayable due to all the rocks.A ranger followed us for 10 holes.There was aVERY slow group in front of us but they must have been the regular good old boys because he never said anything to them even though he watched us having to wait forever to play.

Needs rain

Have not had much rain in the area so greens are extremely fast. Might want to club down and land in front of green to roll onto green. If you land on the green you will be off the back.

Good Day! A little chilly.

We played on Sat morning -- the first tee time of the day. The nice thing -- we didn't have to wait behind others! However, playing that early in the day in April meant it was a tad chilly. The weather warmed up, however, and we played pretty quickly. Had a good round.

Seems like the course conditions are slowly getting better. I look forward to the continued attempt to bring this course back to the way it used to be years ago.

I enjoyed

The course played well. The amenities are all old but that sort of added to its charm. It's far from my house but will still consider playing again.

Good course

Course in great shape especially for December. Clubhouse is very old, looks like it’s being remodeled but currently it’s in terrible shape. Would go again though
