Sugar Isle at Sugar Isle Golf Country

Sugar Isle Golf Country Club sits in New Carlisle, a small community in Clark County in west-central Ohio, roughly midway between Dayton and Springfield. The course was designed by Jack Kidwell, a regional architect active primarily in Ohio and neighboring states during the latter half of the twentieth century. Kidwell's work typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while working within the natural contours and vegetation of Midwestern sites.

The layout at Sugar Isle reflects the gently rolling farmland characteristic of this part of Ohio, with mature tree lines framing fairways and modest elevation changes that add visual interest without creating severe uphill or downhill lies. Water features appear on several holes, a common element in Kidwell's designs, requiring strategic decisions off the tee and on approach shots. The course serves a membership drawn largely from the surrounding communities in Clark County, offering a traditional country club experience centered on golf and social gatherings.

Sugar Isle operates as a private facility, maintaining conditions suited to regular member play throughout the season. The club provides the amenities typical of regional country clubs in Ohio—a clubhouse with dining facilities and event spaces—and the course itself remains a fixture in the local golf landscape, hosting member tournaments and club championships that anchor the competitive calendar for its membership.
