Sugar Ridge Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

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!
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.
Hello, Moorerm04. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Sugar Ridge Golf Club. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Good Medium Skill Course
The course was fun to play, too many short holes on the back. The views are worth it, needs to be lengthened.
Hello, dangmurphy. Thank you for visiting us at Sugar Ridge Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Hi, gvome. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Sugar Ridge Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Great day for golf
Weather was great I wish I could say the same for my golfing
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Sugar Ridge Golf Club.
Decent local course but local league forced us off the course after 9 holes
My friend and I got an 18 hole tee time at 3:45 and got through 10 holes before running into a league with 20 teams on a shotgun start backing up the entire back 9. The starter didn’t tell us beforehand and then when we returned to the pro shop to get a rain check, we were told GolfNow shouldn’t have let us book an 18 hole tee time and the course was not at fault, which I only partially agree with. Course was in okay conditions but that’s usually the best it gets anyways. Random puddles all over the course and cart path only on some holes because of this despite multiple dry days since last rain.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced at the course. Our goal is to keep the pace of play running smoothly and to never have it too backed up. As far as the raincheck goes, sounds like you prepaid for a Hot Deal on GolfNow. When this is the case, no money is paid to the pro-shop so there is no money that is owed back from the course. If you call GolfNow, they would be happy to rectify the situation. We hope this clears any confusion up and we hope you give us another try in the future.
Terrible
Paid for 18 holes and only got to play 7. Groups of 8 and 4 played so slow all day and had to leave the course early without even finishing the front 9. Unreal never had a day like that. Total waste of money trying to play today
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!
Backed up like no other.
Stacking tee times and running behind s whole hour and a half to two hours. Had a 10:57 tee time and showed up at 10:30 with 20 different groups still waiting on the first tee box. Didn’t get a heads up or anything. We were told you can either stay or leave?! Didn’t even make the tee time 24 hours in advance so I couldn’t cancel. Awful won’t come back here again.
Impossible to walk good distances between many holes. Good layout. Will use every club in your bag
.
Cold but enjoyable
Not often your car is the only one in the golfer’s parking lot. Just shows my commitment or ignorance. Obviously pace was not an issue. LOL. Thus the staff was great since I was a lone wolf. Overall this course was in good winter shape with winter rates being a great bargain. Not my first visit here and though over 30 miles from my house, with the bargain and enjoyment, not my last.
Hi, Jonathan5269716. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Sugar Ridge Golf Club!
Great Value
Most courses in the area comparable to this one are $50-$60+. Was able to play 18 holes today for $33.
If you're looking for country club boxes, fairways, and greens... then look elsewhere.
But if you want to play a well maintained public course that plays very forgiving, then this is the place.
Enjoy!
