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.

Solid course

Solid course. Tee boxes were quite nice, you can tell they've invested in them. Greens were fine, but fairways could use a little TLC. There was one that was practically dirt.

Course conditions are improving

We have been playing this course about every other week since early spring. The tee boxes, fairways and greens have improved all year. Everything is green and looking good especially for mid August. It appears the course is getting a good amount of play. I hope they are generating enough money to invest into cleaning up the stagnant ponds and to do a little landscape work in the future. Overall we are very pleased with the course and the friendly staff! Go out and support this course.

Very slow pace

Took about 3 1/2 hours to play 9 holes. Groups weren’t playing to pace and no ranger to push them thru. Paid for 18 played 9 due to time.

Great improvements

I hadn’t played here since the late ‘90s. The improvements they’ve made are amazing. The only negative is the tree overhanging the 9th tee box - I would prefer the one large limb be removed. The tunnel to the other side of the road is still fun!

I believe they are really trying to improve the course

Staff has always been friendly. The course conditions continue to improve. Greens roll true but are generally slow. I’d like to see the greens have a little more speed ! Hopefully this course will eventually look like the pics on Golf Now. I would recommend you give this course a try.

Course continues to slowly get better

Greens were in good shape and rolled fairly good. This course continues to slowly get better. Cart paths and landscape have a long way to go but the fairways and greens are improving. I’ve been playing this course since the mid 80’s. I look forward to this place getting in better shape.
