Planning a trip to play Idlewild, Lincoln Ridge, Mt. Airy and Osage Grove with a King's Island stop as well. Any other must plays I'm missing?

How much time do you have? Those are the best courses but there are many others worth playing.
Gulley is north of KI and a fun course. Armco is new and on the level of the four you mentioned. Not far from KI also. Monroe is in that area, a fun 24 hole course.

I haven't played Armco yet, but I agree with everything else JayDub said.
If you want to bag a good 9er, Mason Sports Complex north of Cincy, or South Fork in Florence, KY would be fun additions.
By that time in Oct. I'm thinking I should have Hidden Ridge back into playing shape if you want to venture a bit further south for a pretty new private course. Shooting to have it back fully mowed and trimmed before the end of Sept.

Mason Sports Park is also minutes from Kings Island so you could start your day with nine fun holes and still be at KI pretty early.

Staying in Dayton one night. Is Handyman Ace Hardware DGC a must play?

Adding to what JayDub said about Handyman: I guess it depends on what you're looking for.
It's definitely a well-designed challenging course, but I thought it lacked fun factor. Glad I played it, but it was more of a beat down than a good time. I've played other courses that I thought were as challenging, but more "enjoyable."
Belmont makes for a "friendlier" round.

Hidden Ridge is looking pretty good right now. It's rugged for sure (mostly natural pads, still a few temp baskets, etc.), but if you enjoy secluded private courses feel free to hit me up.
That would be a fantastic way to start the day. One of my all time favorite 9 holers. South Fork Park in Florence, KY would be a fun 9'er to add if you wanted to bag an extra course between Idlewild and Lincoln Ridge.

I love Ace Handy Man its a great course if you lile woods. Some really fun shots. Belmont is fun but waaay overrated. Sycamore trails would be good or Armco Park if not too far out of your way

Looking at Montgomery Inn for ribs. Worth it?
Hell Yes, great choice. The one down on the river bank is the coolest. :thmbup:

Montgomery Inn Boathouse is a solid slice of Cincinnati. A bit on the fancier side, cloth napkins, etc.
If you're after "real" barbecue style grub and not just ribs I'd head over to Eli's BarBQ. Corn bread is the bomb, killer mac n cheese, awesome smoked turkey and pulled pork, great wings. They don't sell beer, but you can actually BYOB.

Its pretty pricey from what I recall but MI does have the best ribs I've ever had in a restaurant... but that doesn't count a rundown BBQ joint on the side of the road. Its hard to beat a good roadside joint though.

And that's my issue with MI, the cost. Once I got a smoker and started doing my own, and they taste better than MI, and cost WAY less, I haven't been back.

There have been several times where I was at Kroger's trying to talk myself into buying the slab of MI ribs they sell there but just cant justify it when I can buy twice(even 3 times) as many of the store brand...

I can buy three racks of baby backs at Costco, with the back membrane already removed for somewhere around 25-30 bucks. Add the seasoning I like and grill or smoke.
What's a rack at MI go for these days? I just looked (Each includes one side. Order: $23.99, Full slab: $29.99, King slab: $32.99).

Montgomery Inn is definitely a great choice, especially with the experience of the Boathouse, but their sauce is kind of love/hate, and they drown them in it. I would personally recommend Walt's Hitching Post in Ft. Wright, KY (close-ish to Lincoln Ridge) or Art's in Colerain.
IMHO, M Inn ribs are over rated vs cost. I'm not a local but have been there "on the river".

If I'm ever on death row, my last supper request will be a rack of Montgomery Inn ribs with a side of saratoga chips.
