FULL DISCLOSURE -- like another reviewer - I was here to visit the Octagon Earthworks (mounds) -…read morenot the country club. The Octagon Earthworks are on the grounds of the country club and are generally closed to the public. There is a very small area with a viewing platform that IS OPEN to the public 365 days a year and -- from the viewing platform -- you can get a glimpse into the site. However, FOUR (4) times a year, the site is open to the public and you can actually get onto the golf course and walk among the mounds. The Ohio History Connection sponsors these 4 Open Houses (the last one for 2019 was October 13th) and has staff on-site to give talks about the earthworks and to led tours of the earthworks. We were thinking of visiting the Newark Earthworks earlier this week and were fortunate to discover that today was the last open house for the season. The view from the viewing platform is very limited. To really see these earthworks, you need to be here for one of the open houses. We went on one of the guided tours with an extremely knowledgeable young lady from the Ohio History Connection. During a 1-hour tour, she explained what they have been able to learn about the early American cultures and how there is a lot they still don't know. Despite the presence of a golf course among the earthworks, the site is still VERY IMPRESSIVE and is very much worth a visit. Check the Ohio History Connection's website for the dates of the open houses in 2020. One of the staff members at the site did indicate a special "3-hour" walking tour scheduled for November 2nd or 3rd -- again, check the website for details.

Easily the best meal I've had in years. I had the Seared Chicken with Peaches, and mozzarella. It…read morecame with two sides. I chose the garden salad with sweet and sour dressing, and the Blue Cheese Potato Salad. The salad was a fresh mixed of salad greens, topped with fresh cucumbers, diced tomatoes, house made croutons, and grated cheese. The dressing... WOW! Delicious! A perfect balance of sweet, and sour. Not overwhelming, just right. The Potato Salad, again a perfect balance between the tang of the blue cheese and the sweet creaminess of the mayonnaise dressing. It also had a tad of a back end bite that make it perfect. The Seared Chicken was done perfectly for this dish. Tender, yet a bit of char. The peaches were roasted to a perfect peach jam consistency. Thing grandma's homemade jams, except with a thinner consistency. Then a perfectly melted piece of fresh mozzarella, finished with julienned basil. Again, a great balance of sweet and savory, creaminess, and a hint of freshness of the basil. We started off with a drink( already forgotten the name) made with fresh raspberries, lemonade, and vodka blended to a frosty, blissful drink.

Very nice, pretty place. The service was good…read more The food however was decent. I ordered the Tuscan grilled chicken with asparagus. The asparagus was burnt and not good. The sandwich was decent. Some bites were better than others. My mom ordered the "Catch of the day" which was two mahi mahi tacos for 23$. And they did not look like 23$ tacos. There's a picture attached of them- and you can decide for yourself. My boyfriend had Buffalo wings and fries. He said the Buffalo wings were just pretty typical. Everyone did like the fries. My dad really liked the club sandwich. I wasn't impressed by this place. Decent food that's a bit pricey.

And, this is a biggie, they actually have sand in their sand traps. A lot of courses aren't maintaining their sand traps anymore but the ones at Echo Springs were in really good shape. I had forgotten how hard it is to hit out of the sand. Beautiful links style course. Challenging without being too difficult to have a good time.

A Hidden Gem! Nice layout. Well maintained. Terrific staff. Watch for out for bears.read more

Being curious about the Maltby golf clubs I bought two seven irons. Different models with…read moredifferent shafts. They were made and shipped in 10 days. Pretty fast considering I requested a handful of customizations to the club head, shaft and grip. The components are excellent quality. The assembly is top notch. Tested them on the driving range. Compared the two Maltbys against my Ping G400 iron. I hit the Maltby KE 4 Max 30% longer than the Ping. The Maltby hits the ball more consistently straight. The Maltby ball strike feels softer and more controlled than the Ping. I'm so positively impressed that I just bought the Maltby full set from 5 iron to lob wedge. The price for the order is close to $1,000 lower than a big name brand set of golf clubs. That's money saved to spend on a golf vacation. And I'll sell the Ping G400 set (8 years old) on eBay for about the same amount of money spent for the new Maltbys. Recommended!

He made the process quick and easy. I asked him does this Dicks do a military discount..he says of course. 10 percent. I didnt know. I was surprised. So I'm like great show him my Military ID card. I go up to the cashier and I never been so disappointed in my life. The female cashier told the guy who helped me literally in front of me that she didnt care about the military and didnt give me the 10 percent discount. He was pretty upset. If it wasnt for my mother standing next to me I Would have cussed her the f#@! Out in front of everyone. I been deployed 8 times. For this to happen its incredibly hurtful. Thank you dicks for supporting this lady cashier!
