Sugar Isle Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Odd layout
The course layout was different from a couple of years ago. We prefer the old layout...which had better flow in our opinion. Fairways and greens were in good shape with the exception of each green had a patch that was plugged...appeared they were testing aeration. Enjoyed the course.
Old Sugar Isle
I use to play this course when I was high school (11 year ago) and it was a challenge then and it still is. They changed the layout a bit, (The par 3 island green used to be 18 and now its 9) but it still sets up nicely. two of the par 5's are tough and the other you can get on in two with two good shots. overall the course was worth the hot now deal price I got it for. I would recommend this course to anyone.
Thank you for the review Daniel!
We're glad to have had you back and that you enjoyed the changes we've made over the years! We hope to see you back again soon!

Nice course
Staff very friendly course layout is good. this isnt a hard course but its a fun course to play. you get a couple island holes. well, ones an island the other is just mainly surrounded by water. a few of the pin locations can make these holes easy or hard depending on the day. there is a lot of dry spots but they keep the fairways fresh and the greens are in pretty good shape.
Thanks for the review Overthrow13! We're glad you enjoyed your time on the course!

best bang for the buck !!
great course, nice layout of holes. played this course the first time last year, course was a bit rough. this year has brought a lot of great changes, grass in fairways is kept up, and has separated fairways now. greens are in great condition. course is somewhat challenging, great course for all levels of play. you can see the effort of the course to bring big changes. now I play this course about 5,6 times a month, and claim it as my home course. every golfer should come play this gem...
Thank you for your review, Kyle! We are thrilled to hear that you have noticed improvements within our course in the past year. We are constantly working to be the best course we can be and satisfy our golfers. Hope to see you for another round soon!

Nice layout
This is a very challenging course. The greens are difficult, but readable. I enjoyed my first round very much. I will be back.
We are glad to have given you a bit of a challenge! Thank you for your review. We look forward to having you back, Jeorge!
Nice Greens large and lots of slopes in very nice shape
Course is in very nice condition with chance of shooting low scores. Played fast pace till we caught up to a 6 em that killed my game sitting watching them...
Thanks for your review. We're glad you enjoyed the conditions of our course and are sorry about the slow pace toward the end of your game. We hope this doesn't deter you from visiting us again in the future.
Very Average
This is the Jamaica Run course of the north. Below arerave fairways, very firm and slow greens. I had sand wedge into many of the greens and my ball would roll to the back. No cart girl. The foursome in front of us would not let us pass, and the course allowed them to use three different carts.
Hi Jeff. We are sorry to hear that your experience on our course did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback as it will help us improve. We hope that these conditions won't deter you from playing with us again.
Perfect day of golf.
I'm not a very good golfer, but I love getting out to play. I couldn't have asked for a better experience or better time than playing here.
Thank you for the 5 star review! We are happy to hear that you had an excellent experience. Come back soon for another round!
Nice bit grass too long
Enjoyed playing here and the course is very nice but the grass on the fairway was a lot longer than I am used to! We were behind a few slow groups on the front 9, one of which stopped to get a bunch of balls out of a pond while we waited to tee off lol! The back went faster and it was enjoyable!
Thank you Gene for your feedback and review of Sugar Isle Golf Course. Thank you for the 4 Stars! Come back and see us again as we would love to have you back.

I really enjoy the layout of the course
It's still early in the year but the fairways could have been cut better and the greens haven't been cut for several days and were bumpy. But I will play it again.

Course is burnt up
It had been several years since I last played Sugar Isle and thought I would give it a try due to the great deal offered on GolfNow. While it has been very dry the past 2 months, it was obvious the course hasn't been watering the fairways. They were hard as rock. Most approach shots were like hitting off hardpan.
The greens were rolling great but obviously hard as well. It was very difficult to get any green to hold an approach shot. You typically had to play short and let your ball roll to most greens.
While the course was in bad shape due to lack of water, I might try it again next spring to see if conditions improve.
ekamiller, Thank you for taking the time to come out and play and leave us your feedback on the course. We do apologize for the dryness on the course. During the summer, we had our main irrigation pump go out and we have most recently replaced it. However, during that time, we received no rain, so we are currently in a state of recovery. In addition, we use a bluegrass in the fairways, which always leads to a more firm turf. With that being said, we look forward to your next visit and hope to exceed your expectations next time out!
