Ohio Golf Courses Pickaway County The prehistoric Mound Builders occupied Pickaway County several thousand years before the arrival of the Indians and, later, European settlers. They left mounds throughout the area, some of which were burial mounds. Circleville itself was initially built to conform to circular prehistoric earthworks. A remarkable specimen of the ancient mounds remains near Tarlton in the form of a Greek cross. The recorded history of Pickaway County began in 1774 when Lord Dunmore led an army into the Ohio Valley in the war with the Indians. Lord Dunmore's troops were camped east of Circleville at Camp Charlotte. After many battles and the loss of lives, a meeting was arranged to draw up a truce to end the wars. The meeting took place on the Pickaway Plains under a huge elm tree whose branches spread 120 feet in diameter. It was during this meeting that the famous speech of Chief Logan was delivered and the tree became known as the Logan Elm. Logan's speech has been translated into virtually every language and is widely known as one of the most eloquent speeches ever delivered.

Pickaway County is located in the Virginia Military Grant of 1784, west of the Scioto River, and The Congress Lands of 1785 east of the river. The first permanent settlers arrived in late 1796 or early 1797 and erected cabins along an old Indian trail that ran between Lancaster and Chillicothe. One of the first permanent settlements was Newellstown, now known as Tarlton, which was established in 1801 along the Indian trail, or Zane's Trace. Pickaway County was created by an act of the Ohio Legislature in 1810 from three surrounding counties and Circleville was designated the County Seat in 1811. Now we can see the Ohio golf courses in Pickaway County, Ohio.

This club has two outstanding eighteen hole courses. The Players Club Course provides cart paths and has every modern hazard to make the game a challenge. You must hit over water three times to get to the greens. The fairways are narrow and tree lined, and water hazards come into play on six holes. The signature hole is 16, a 434-yard, par 4, which plays through trees uphill to a green that is surrounded by five bunkers. The Foxfire Course is also demanding. It features water hazards coming into play on six of the back nine holes. The fairways are more forgiving on this course. The signature hole is 17, a 629-yard, par 5, requiring a tee shot over a creek, then an uphill approach shot to a green that is protected by water on the right and trees on the left. This is another course of the many Ohio golf courses that try to stay open all year.

Ohio Golf Courses Comments:
This course was built through a natural, wooded terrain with rolling hills which is normal for Ohio golf courses. The fairways are long and narrow, and require straight tee shots. Water hazards come into play on five to seven holes, and strategically placed sand bunkers are also critical in the course's design. The signature hole is 12, a 182-yard, par 3, which actually was the inspiration for the courses name, Spilt Rock. A large rock, which rested in what is now the holes fairway, sprouted a tree that grew up through the middle of the rock. The hole is carved into the side of a hill, has sand bunkers in front of the green, and a stream that diagonals the side of the green.
