A Central Ohio golf stalwart for more than 50 years, Licking Springs Golf Club has welcomed, entertained and challenged more golfers than just about any other course in the Buckeye State. Yet even with such a long and proven track record, to truly appreciate this golf course, especially if you haven’t played it recently or ever, is to experience it firsthand.

Located just a few minutes north of Newark, Licking Springs Golf Course is an 18-hole championship course that features a natural spring on the property, a variety of natural wildlife and a challenging layout with rolling fairways and undulating greens.

“Licking Springs is a place you have to play to truly appreciate it,” said Licking Springs General Manager Bill Stebelton. “It’s a fair course but not one that golfers are just going to come and rip up.”

The best golf facilities aren’t just the ones with the toughest golf courses or largest practice areas. They aren’t always the one with the most impressive clubhouses or acclaimed meeting spaces. No, the best golf facilities are the ones that combine consistent quality, fair challenge, and most of all, a staff that is committed to the type of customer service that makes every golfer feel like a member every time they visit.

It’s that combination -- that significant commitment -- that makes the golf experience at Pine Hill Golf Club a Central Ohio favorite for avid golfers. Perfectly located midway between Columbus and Lancaster, Pine Hills is a true locals’ course – a place where the staff remembers your name and respects your passion for the game. Whether your standard is course conditioning, friendly service or a fair golf challenge, Pine Hill is the facility that delivers it all.
