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.

Rough very deep
layout of course was challenging. several holes you had to have a good tee shot to avoid trouble because an average shot wasn't good enough. must have lost about 6 balls. pared 6 holes, but still had a high score

Good day at Sugar Ridge
Course was in good shape except for the rough which was way too high but understandable with the amount of rain it got the past week. Greens were fast and true …. Stay below the hole or u gonna have multiple 3 putts. Staff was friendly and the pace was good . Have been there before when the pace was very slow but not today.
Thanks so much for the great review, Butlerdav. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Sugar Ridge Golf Club.
First experience
The course is beautiful, challenging and unexpected. Club down based on elevation changes. The grass is super tall. If not on fairways will take you longer than expected to find ball even if it rolls off. Other than grass height great course. Probably better to play in late summer early fall.

Hello, u314162628252. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time! Thanks for playing Sugar Ridge Golf Club.
Terrible staff
I will never go back…fairway were very long. Everytime i play there the overbook there tee times so u have to wait to tee off on every hole so it takes u 8 hrs to finish a round…dont play there unless you plan to wait on every hole
Nice course
Beautiful course with a lot of wildlife. We seen four deer and two wild turkeys. Ambiance was great !
Great condition. Grill outside at the turn. Probably a little steep at $52. Letting multiple twosomes off back to back on a Saturday is a NoNo.

Tee boxes and tee times
Tee boxes are extremely uneven and don't provide good footing for teeing off. They don't do a good job of regulating tee times and will let walk in tee off consecutively ahead of you at your designated tee time. Course layout is good outside of that and greens are in good condition but they need to work on the tee boxes and course management to justify forty plus dollar rounds.

Hi, edearl1957. 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!
SLOW
Tee time was delayed 30 minutes due to no starter and back to back twosomes ahead of us not playing together. Pace of play was incredibly slow with 10+ minute waits at every tee box, and some stretching much longer. After 4 hours we pulled up to the 14th tee to 3 groups waiting to tee off. We had to leave at that point without finishing our round.
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!
Unique
We got stalled to start…an hour delay. Then, we enjoyed a 5 and a half hour round. So, it was literally…the longest round of my life. But, despite all of that…I loved the course. It was a unique layout…in such that…you have play it more than once…to enjoy the ups and downs of the hills and valleys of southeastern Indiana. I will be back…just not a Saturday afternoon.

Hello Kenneth9612736,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating! We really appreciate your business. Please let us know what we can do for you in the future to earn that last star!
Well worth the drive, money and viait
This courage is definitely a gem of Southern Indiana/Ohio and a must visit, if you are within an hour or two! Great layout, very challenging and scenic, even in the pre and post seasons! However, if you like flat, plain, run of the mill golfcourses, stay away,, because this course has elevation, pitch, ponds, houses(alrhough not really in play) and trouble!
Book a tee time and enjoy!
Hello, Clarence4Par. 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.
Sugar Ridge
If you play here wait until mid April or so. In March the aeration still hasn't healed from last fall. Also no matter when you play it will probably be a 5 hour round or more.

Worth the money
Sugar Ridge is a beautiful course and has a fun layout for all levels of golf. Unfortunately the course is never really maintained throughout the year so the play itself is pretty rough and aggravating. There are many courses in the area that are putting the money and time into the course but Sugar Ridge is not one of them. The good thing about Sugar Ridge is that you can usually find deals and typically the course is extremely cheap to play (for obvious reasons). And also it’s never too crowded compared to other courses in the area. $30 and under is the play here for 18/cart.

SLOW SLOW AND SLOWER. That was the pace of play. Wasn’t unexpected due to first warm day of year. But the teenagers that teamed up to try and make a 10some were. They had to be broken up numerous times. But it was what it was.
