Sugar Ridge Golf Club
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.

STOP OVERBOOKING
There is a 4-6 group backup off the first tee box from the very first tee time throughout the rest of the busy hours. All players are stacked up on top of each other. Starter tells everyone who pulls up “well you’re all going to be super late, sorry about your luck” and this is not even close to the first time this exact scenario has happened. Hopefully everyone likes playing in front of a crowd because you’ll have about 20 guys watching you off the tee box. And I also hope you like waiting 10 minutes after every shot.
Long day
I usually really enjoy this course. Today seemed to be over booked. We played for 4.5 hours and still had two holes to play before we decided to leave. It was cart path only but there were several groups that were moving at a turtles pace. When we got to hole 1 there was a group of 4 on the green, a group of 4 teeing off, a group of 3 waiting, then it was our turn. I still love the course but the tee times need managed better. It should not take 20 minutes to tee off at your first hole when you were on time for your tee time.
Late Year Play
It was middle of December so most grass is dormant and frosts have killed some grass. The fairway grass fell into the aforementioned description; otherwise, this course would have received a 5-star review.
Good course but greens aerated
I play this course several times a year, even though it's a pretty far drive for me. I like the layout (aa few quirky holes) and the course is well maintained. I wish I had known the greens had recently been aerated though. It was pretty much impossible to hit a put that would run straight. The sand dressing made it like putting through mud. I will try to play at east once more this year, after the greens fill in.
Worst golf course I’ve ever played. Won’t be back.
SR
Some easy holes and some very hard for a short hitter.
Absorb Routing
Course used to be 27 holes, but the sold 9 for houses. The resulting 18 holes is one of the worst routings ever! Yes the course has a lot of hilly terrain and rolling fairways, but there are just too many head scratcher bad holes on this course to recommend playing.
This is one of those courses that you want go back and play again after every hole. A ton of elevation change from tee box to green and undulating fairways and greens. The greens were in great shape. Considering the lack of rain for the last few months - the fairways were surprisingly good. We'll be back
Played it a few times.
The course is nice. The greens were in good shape. The only problems I had was the guy swinging my clubs.
Pretty, challenging course not such good management
Lots of elevation changes on this course, and many of the holes have lethal right side misses.
Had the first tee time and as we made the turn to number 10, there was a league on the next four holes with stacked up players picking holes to shotgun to... not much chance of playing the back nine. Inside the clubhouse we were told no refund since we booked thru Golfnow, so buyer beware!!!
Interesting Course
This is a fun course to play that has many interesting holes and elevation changes. On the down side, the course is very disjointed going from #7 to #8 and it is far away. There has been a lot of work put in to improve the course and hopefully the tee boxes will get worked on next...
