The Trout Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The Trout Club (formerly known as Licking Springs Golf Club) sprawls across a scenic landscape of rolling hills dotted with natural springs that is also home to an abundance of wildlife. Jack Kidwell, a local course architect who has played in role in many of Ohio's golf courses, designed the challenging layout. The course has a traditional design covered with mature trees, which are especially concentrated along the fairways. The undulating greens provide excellent putting surfaces. Their small size and quick speed will test your short game skills. The course is definitely a shotmaker's layout, placing a heavier emphasis on the placement off of the tee rather than distance. It is a layout that requires careful course management and skillful strategy. In addition to the golf course, The Trout Club offers two practice putting and chipping greens as well as a public swimming pool.

Nats and brutal course
Played on a perfect day temp wise. Nats swarmed us everywhere our group went. The card says just over 6k yards but don’t play back unless you want worn out by days end. Lots of uneven lies as the course is extremely hilly. Especially the back.
Challenging back 9
Although the back has long been considered too much for some, I was disappointed to find out that hole 17 had been modified in order to build houses.
Maybe one of the best courses inOhio
This is a scenic and difficult course with a nice lodge for dining or a beer as well. If the course had connecting cart paths I would rate it in the top 10 places to play in Ohio. Starts off easy but progresses to much more after that.
WOW WHAT A COURSE TROUT CLUB IS
An awesome challenging but very playabe course that will take the best golfer and make them better. Absolutely top notch polite professional staff. Excellent ground conditions. Go on book a tee time and see for yourself. Very upscale and well managed. Just awesome!
Good course.
We played behind a league and it was pretty fast overall. Staff was friendly, but the restaurant is not open on Mondays. The experience was positive and enjoyable.
첫번째 방문
코스 업다운이 있기 때문에 티샷이 정확해야 되고 그린에 경사가 있기때문에 긴것 보다는 좀 짪게 공략하는 것이 좋을 듯 합니다.
도전하는 경기를 할 수 있어 좋았습니다.
Worth what we paid, but nothing more
We caught a hot deal on this course that I thought was fantastic at the time of booking it, about $22 a person for 18 with a cart. I had heard about this course a lot over the past few years and it was held to high esteem from what I had heard. However I was disappointed to find out the fairways are just glorified rough, and the back 9 holes are a hilly mess. Basically every hole on the back is a blind shot, so hit it straight and hope it ends up fine. I wouldn’t recommend this course to someone who appreciates attention to detail or a more competitive style of course.
Tough golf course
This was a tough golf course to figure out. There were many greens that had a lot of movement to them. Some almost impossible to get close. For the money it was a fun course to play.
