The Trout Club
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.

Front nine is nice…
Back nine remains treacherous…. Course has improved over the past few years and the staff is nice and friendly. The back nine is just kind of a mess… the restaurant is really good …
Back 9 does not play well
It seemed like their were 2 different courses. Front nine was very well designed. It seemed like the back nine was laid out to fit it in. Also, turf was great on the front nine. Back nine was not as nice. No where to get lunch after the round. Restaurant /Bar not open until 4. Ery hard to have a 19th hole
Tough cpurse
Tough cpurse with fast greens. Layout is great, plenty of elevation changes. On top of the cpurse being great the guy behind the counter is awesome. Remembered us from the year before and always gives solid advice. I'd come play again just because of him. 36$ for 18 and a cart on a Sunday afternoon is a steal.
