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.

Course was solid.

Very solid. One downside is the tee boxes are hit or miss

Great Course for Hot Dral

Challenging with lots of elevation of greens. Arrangement of tee boxes very far apart from each other.

Overcrowded

I have played at this course four or five times and the course has been overbooked every time. There have regularly been 8+ carts waiting on the first tee box. I do not recommend this course unless you are willing to wait 45 minutes or more on the first tee box.

Pleasant surprise

Course was in great shape. Fairways and greens were in great shape. I like how the holes were laid out between the par 3, 4, and 5s. Very challenging on some holes but yet some were easy to play. Holes didn’t feel crowded or on top of each other. Also helps that I played the round off my life (79) I liked the outside bar/grille when we made the turn. Even though the ground was hilly, i didn’t notice many terrible lies to hit from, i liked this course and will play again.

Great staff

Staff was amazing. Course was in good shape coming out of the winter season. First 70+day of the year and the course was packed. Slow play was a understatement. 3 hours to play 9 holes.

Cedar Trace

Challenging mix of holes with good water locations.
Exciting course, well maintained and does require some shot making.

I recommend this course to novice up to guys shooting under 80.

Sugar Ridge

They were aerating the front 9 so we played the back nine twice. The price was good for this since most courses I've played that are aerating still charged regular price.

So many challenging holes ! Accuracy off the tee is critical. Up and down hillsides. Rode in a cart and still walked 3-4 miles. I would not recommend walking : ). 3 par fives on the front - par 37. 34 is par on the back. Enjoy playing this course each time !
