Lost Nation Municipal Golf Course in Willoughby is a player-friendly course that is open year-round. The classic design has appeal for low and high handicappers alike whether you are a beginner who wants some practice or a scratch golfer looking for a casual round. The front nine is relatively flat but the terrain gets more challenging on the back nine. There is also a creek that wanders across the back nine, coming into play on a few holes. The bunkering is minimal throughout the golf course but it's strategically placed. The hole you need to watch out for is the par-4 15th. This challenging 435-yard hole is Lost Nation Municipal Golf Course's no. 1 handicap hole. In addition to the golf course, there is also a driving range and practice putting green available.

Had a good round with my friends.We'll be back! A well maintained course. Pace was slow on back 9. Saw no ranger around to urge father play by group in front of us. Again,a very good round.

Denim Nation

For as much rain as this course had received the week before my round it was in good shape. The greens were actually rolling nicely. However, no one fixes their ball marks on the greens which gets annoying. Almost everybody who plays here wears jeans, seems like a strong correlation.

Great pace, fun course

Got out for 13 bucks and played in less than 3 hours. Even a couple of spits of rain were not a problem. The course is mostly flat so it would be good for walking.It is a a nice bridge between a too easy starter course like Airport Greens and a more difficult course like Manakiki. There are maybe 3 or 4 difficult holes but the rest are reasonable par holes for the average golfer. I will play here again!

Course was great for early season

The greens and fairways were being cut during the round. The greens need to be rolled and then they will be decent. The staff was very friendly.

First official day of spring

Many of the tee boxes were being reseeded. No big deal. Pace was somewhat slow as we had to let 3 groups of 2 play through because a really slow group of 4 was in front of us.. seemed like the course chose to not believe in tee times and just let people go off right away. The guy who helped us with the carts is always super cool and professional. If you can get a round for under $30 this course is worth it.

Fun, User Friendly Course

Overall, a very nice course in very good shape. The nicest feature of Lost Nation is the difference between the front and back. The front is fairly open and very forgiving. The back is much tighter with less room for error and feels like a different course than the front. Greens are in great shape and easy to navigate, even a bit furry, which allows for faster puts so you can go right at the hole.

Course conditions were very good for early season

Greens and fairways were in very good condition. They have done some work on the course as last year the condition was not very good. Highly recommend!

Well kept but not exciting

Its a decent course for a muni. The greens rolled true but a little slow. The layout is "ho-hum" with no sidehill lies. This leads to a pretty benign test of golf. The par 3's are challenging but not long. Nice course but not one you would go out of your way to play.

Pleasant experience at this course

A well maintained and moderately challenging course.
Offers very few frustrating obstacles to success, though there are a few holes that are among the more difficult ones in NE Ohio.

you'd never know it's a muni...

I got this as a hot deal. great deal, $14 for 18 and a cart. Paired up with a couple of seniors and a doctor. Course was simply perfect from tee to green. Greens were slow (this is a muni that gets a TON of play) but they still rolled very true. This in spite of a pretty big outing that had just finished. The starter said if we went off the back first we would "fly." He wasn't kidding! We made amazing time. Really wonderful course. Nice challenger but no insanely hard by any means. the two remodeled par 5s on the front are excellent holes.

This course was in good shape and fun holes

The greens were in great shape but the fairways are already stressed by the heat. Some of the holes were very close to oncoming holes so golfers who missed fairways were in the way of the others.
