Today this course rates as a 3. I debated whether to bump to 4 because the sand traps were all in good shape. This is not common for the public golf courses I play in the Dayton area. Most greens didn't have weeds and the grass was all one color making for a nice presentation. The ball rolled pretty straight. If they were faster the rating would have been 4. But the weren't quite a medium speed. The last time I played this course was 8 to 10 years ago and the fairways were all weeds. It was much better than I remember but they aren't good yet. I liked the layout and water hazards and there is a lot of personality.

Sugar Isle Golf Course is truly a pleasure to play. From the moment you arrive, the friendly staff makes you feel right at home. I was so impressed with the course's condition—the greens are fantastic and roll true, and the fairways are lush and well-maintained. The layout, designed by Jack Kidwell, is both beautiful and strategic, with just enough water hazards and bunkers to keep you on your toes without feeling impossible. It's a challenging yet forgiving course that's perfect for a wide range of skill levels. The value for the money is unbeatable, and the overall experience is top-notch. Sugar Isle is my new go-to course in the area, and I can't wait to get back out there.

Played today and was hugely disappointed. The greens and sand traps were the only bright spot of the whole day. There were no rangers to be found all day to monitor the pace of play. It took us over 5 hrs to play 18 holes and to wait on every shot because for 90% of the day there were at least 4 groups on every hole. The tee boxes and fairways were basically like hitting off concrete with little to no grass anywhere.
