Great experience all the way around. Staff was fantastic and the food was great. The course looks very nice we didn't play but have heard nothing but great things. Definitely a great all around friendly experience and friendly interactions with staff and other customers.

The new country club is beautiful. The architecture is great and well built; the restaurant and ballroom are really nice. However, the cove ceiling in the ballroom make for pretty terribly acoustics. I wouldn’t recommend holding an event with speakers in this room.

There’s a fun, private country club tucked away in Bellbrook, Ohio that golfers in the area should know about. The course is challenging, and the staff is kind, considerate, and willing to help at a moment’s notice. It’s a course I would consider joining if I lived in the area. In the 1980s, the golf course underwent a major renovation at the hands of legendary Ohio golf course architect Jack Kidwell and his partner and protégé, Mike Hurdzan. In July 2014, tragedy struck as fire destroyed the clubhouse. This followed an earlier fire in May that destroyed the cart barn and all its contents including members’ golf clubs and an entire fleet of golf carts. With two fires 9 weeks apart, no one could have faulted ownership if they wanted to get out of the business. After all, golf courses aren’t as profitable as they once were! Jim Keyes didn’t wait until the embers stopped smoldering before announcing plans to rebuild. The next day he had 50 carts at the course and ready to go. In 2018, Sugar Valley Golf Club opened a brand new two-story, 17,000 square-foot Clubhouse that is home to the Pro Shop, two simulator bays, a fitness room, member dining room and bar, a huge banquet, and special events area that can serve 300+ people. The simulators have proven to be a big hit, especially in the winter months. Members can buy monthly memberships or rent a bay by the hour and practice or play rounds of golf on some of the world’s most popular courses no matter what the weather is like outside. Since the sale of the course in 2010, membership at Sugar Valley has grown significantly, yet they still hold to their original mission of being available one day a week for corporate and charitable golf outings. They are also one of the Dayton area’s premier event locations. For many, the main attraction at Sugar Valley is the golf course. At 6,467 yards from the back (Black) tees and a course rating of 70.5 and a slope of 126, the length and difficulty at Sugar Valley are certainly not going to overwhelm many golfers. Players that are new to the sport will find the course manageable with wide open fairways and large, receptive greens. Well-establish players will find that hazards such as sand bunkers have been strategically placed and ready to snag errant shots. Four sets of tees provide suitable yardage for any level of golfer. Choose the tees that best suit your game and you’re sure to have an enjoyable round. At Sugar Valley Golf Club it’s more a case of knowing where to hit the ball on any given shot to avoid trouble and leave yourself the best angle into the green. Brains over brawn. One of the biggest things Sugar Valley has going for it is the elevation changes you’ll encounter as you make your way around, starting on the first hole with an approach shot to the par-5 green that plays totally uphill. Your round ends with a tee shot from one of the highest points on the course down to a wide fairway. It’s definitely a Kodak moment! The first three holes (par 5, par 4, and par 3) give you a good sense of what you’re in for as far as elevation changes. Even with the variations in height, many players choose to walk the course. Across the street from the clubhouse is a full-length driving range where you can warm up before your round or hit balls all day trying to get rid of some bad habits. If you’re having trouble fixing those bad habits on your own, PGA Head Golf Professional Doug Wade is an accomplished teacher of the game and has logged countless hours of teaching over his career. Whether you’re new to the game or are looking to take your play to a whole new level, Doug can help you maximize your potential. The Sugar Valley website has some of Doug’s video pointers under the Lessons Tab. If you’re new to the area or just love golf and are looking to get some good exercise and meet some new friends, be sure to check out Spring Valley Golf Club.

Was there for golf outing first time there?Super nice golf course

As a newer member I’ve been very happy with the course, facility, and ownership of the club. The best part is that it keeps getting better!
