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.

A course with much potential, a work in progress
Nice, hilly layout out in the country. A beautiful pool and dining area as well. The course is being refurbished, and has a lot of potential. Greens were extremely slow, unless you got above the hole, then, very fast going downhill. Paths need a lot of work, many holes have no paths at all.
#18 is unique, two separate tees and greens. You can finish as a 400 yard par 4, or a 155 par 3.
Give the new owners some time to turn this into a very nice facility
Different style course from most of Central Ohio
We found the Trout Club for the first time this week on GolfNow and were pleasantly surprised by the course, its condition, layout, views, challenge and clubhouse. I will definitely play again
