Mound Builders Country Club Reviews

Historical site. Excellent guide and very knowledgeable

I love this place. Amazing food, amazing staff. Beautiful place to come and enjoy your lunch/dinner and even breakfast!

Fantastic place! The course is absolutely beautiful and inscribed with beautiful history. The staff is fantastic and really makes you feel like a VIP each visit. Hole 3 is by far the most unique and beautiful hole I ve ever played on! Well worth the visit

We came for the open house of the Octagon Earthworks. I'm glad the beautiful, sacred historic site has been preserved but it feels really gross and inappropriate that it's being used as a frivolous playground for rich people. It should be a National Park, open to all every day. Or better yet, give it back to the natives, please.

Great work of preservation of the ancient mounds by the Hopewell civilization. It is amazing to see the remains of the gigantic constructions they built.
The view of it is OK, although they do not let you get too close and neither you can follow the whole blueprint of the construction remains because the location is now a golf course.
So on one hand it is nice that the golf club lets plain citizens take a bit of a look at the remains, yet on the other hand, maybe we should start thinking of making the location a true museum or something we all can enjoy regardless of whether we are members of the golf club or not.

Nice little club, not a member, only went for Sunday brunch with a member, but the food was delicious and the staff was fantastic and very willing to accommodate completely for allergies and special diet needs

Great golf course, excellent food and very friendly, down to earth members. It is the best value in Licking County.

I feel better about this place since the contract with the actual country club membership part was going to be finished. Newark is not the place that takes a national monument this unique and turns it into a elderly white gentleman's putting course

I tried to go in and ask a question once and was directed out because I wasn't a member. If you like snooty patooties and you like snob Hobbes or if you feel like your particular special it's the place for you my friend is a cook there instead it's a horrible place to work also my friend Donny B.

Nice grounds, clean pool. Haven't tried the restaurant or golf course yet

Good food and friendly service. A central Ohio delight!

Lovely setting, indoor or outside dining, golf course, super staff, good food

I've only visited for Christmas dinner once a year, but during that time it's a very delighted establishment.

Fun pool, golfe, food, pool, golfe, food, and food!

Private club with a unique course built on and around ancient Hopewell Indian mounds that track the cycles of the moon. Without the mounds the course would be fairly ordinary. Clubhouse dining facilities and bar have a nice view of the course.

I was here to see the octagon mound, observatory mound, and the parallel walls which the golf course has incorporated into their fairways and roughs. Past by many times through the decades without stopping to walk up into the observation platform and read the markers. Well worth your time to see the largest prehistoric complex in North America.

Enjoyed the lunch..catering was delicious and meeting place was clean and welcoming

Delicious food and a very friendly staff. My family goes to this place a lot for holidays and always leave very happy.

I took my wife to check out the Indian Mounds. Very cool! Unfortunately, they built a golf course in and around the mound structures over 100 years ago. It feels like one is violating something sacred.

Can't say a lot about them. They take care of the mounds but it's also a gold course on some very sacred land. It is what it is

The mounds are beautiful and well worth the visit. The golf club is controlling and restrictive about access for non club members. Even on posted public Access dates.

Amazing evidence of the Early inhabitants of the Early Ohio area

Heated water in pool, one low diving board, baby pool, great snack shack, and food & drinks for the adults, delivered to your lounge chair!! Spoiling!! Great country club & golf course also!!

On the one hand I understand that, if it weren't for leasing the land to the country club 100 years ago, we would have nothing left of this amazing natural historical site from the indigenous people of Ohio. But I can't stop seeing the gluttonous consumerism of Country Club living atop what was once hey beautiful and amazing Earthworks and that is only somebody with money and foresight had done something in the late 1800s you could have had one of the most amazing Preserve Earthworks in the world, even rivaling Stonehenge. However, the founders of the city of Newark soffit to bulldoze most of the Earthworks it's your farmland and City. It's very sad

For some reason somebody thought it was cool to put a golf course on an Indian mound.

We have been members for many years. We enjoy the food and it is a nice place to dine in all seasons - three seasons in the main area with the fireplace and their outside summer seating is awesome. We use the pool quite often. It is never over crowded and we feel very safe since it is fenced in and only members and guests can come in and they have lifeguards. We are not golfers but have many friends who are that like the course. We have also used the rooms and catering for many functions big and small and they always aim to please.

Rich white people playing golf on important historical Native American mounds. So important, in fact, that they are considering this and the great circle mounds for UN World Heritage Site status. Closed door secret meetings between the country club and state historical society means that they have rights to the site for another hundred years. Absolutely shameful.

Randy, Head pro and his staff were great today. Course was in great shape!
