About
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.

Lost nation green
Overall it was fun til it stormed an lightning happened to interfere
Course is in great shape!
Not a complaint. A great day on the course. The greens seem to be rolling a bit faster as the summer moves on. The staff is great!
Course is in great shape.
The course is in the best shape I've ever seen it.
With the covid-19 pandemic they charge for solo carts!!!
Other courses are not charging for solo carts during these difficult times. At least they could install barriers in the carts but supposedly Lake county does not permit them. Powderhorn, Madison CC are in lake county and have installed the barriers. What gives???
A good course to start up again.
Friendly staff, beautiful play. Only thing I would change is adding a simple layout of each hole at the teas. It would help out first time players who aren’t familiar with the course.
Got out early
Teed off at 8 and done by 11. The greens were great. Not super fast but the ball rolled great on them. The fairways rolled forever.
Dry Fairways Poor Patrons
I play this course three to four times a year because it is close to my home. Last spring the fairways were immaculate. Not so this year. Could be due to COVID. Greens were good though. We were really surprised at the attitude of two elderly guys following us . The group in front of us was slow. On the fourth tee we were chatting a bit to let the group ahead have some time. My buddy told the two guys that it was a little slow. His reaction was that we were chatting and could have teed off twenty minutes ago. BTW we finished the front nine under two hours and I shot a 41. Lost Nation normally has very well behaved patrons. I am putting this down to current climate.

3 hour round!
The course was in great shape. I played in 3 hours.
2.5 hours for 18 holes!
Clouds must have scared the wimps away. It finallt started spitting rain on 17 but really no bother. The course is in great shape!
Nice golfing experience
Lots of room, everything mowed and trimmed, nice greens, friendly staff. Good Value
Enjoyable round of golf
Played for the 1st time, wide fairways, everything mowed and trimmed, greens rolled smoothly, some cartpath areas a little rough. Nice clubhouse and staff.
Golf Maintenance Staff does a nice job
Fun and Challenging
Wet conditions, so tough scoring day, but liked the layout, and the greens were rolling nicely, too, despite not being cut or rolled because of the deluge of rain the past 2 days!!
Can't wait to play it when it's dry!
Fun course and pretty cool staff!!!
Sweatshirt in June!
Considering all the rain the course was in very good shape. Hopefully at some point it will get to hot and humid!
