Scorecard
Licking Springs Country Club (long branded, for golf, as “The Trout Club”) is an 18-hole course in Newark, OH. Important status note: this property is now the private home club of the relocated Moundbuilders Country Club, whose own former course (on the Octagon Earthworks, a UNESCO World Heritage site) permanently closed on January 1, 2025 after a legal settlement with the State of Ohio; Moundbuilders’ membership relocated here in 2025. The club’s current site describes itself as a private membership club, not the old “Trout Club” public-access resort this scorecard data was originally recorded for — the golf holes themselves are unchanged, but public daily-fee play is no longer available. This listing should be treated as private/members-only.

Course rating & slope: Blue — 70.0/119; White — 68.7/117; Red (Women’s) — 68.7/110.
The hole-by-hole par sums to 71 (36 front + 35 back), while the club’s own current website states “Par 72” — an unresolved conflict, shown as computed rather than adjusted. A second source’s competing hole-by-hole card doesn’t match this one hole-for-hole despite similar totals, suggesting a tee-naming mix-up between sources; the table above uses the internally-consistent 6-tee set (all six columns reconcile exactly).
Scorecard figures via GolfPass (2026); operating-status change confirmed via the club’s own 2025/2026 materials and local news coverage of the Moundbuilders relocation. Course can confirm current tee yardages, par, and public-access status.
