It seems that the hot weather did a number on some of the fairways maybe the rain over the past few days can bring it back

A gem in the marsh.

The course is in excellent shape. The greens have moderate undulations or slopes but are true. If you read the line well, you can make the putt. Be very careful on holes 1-5, the water hazards are real!

The 9's should be flipped

First few holes are absolutely bonkers, other than having to navigate those right out of the gates, the layout is interesting / conditions are good.

a-mazing

Beautiful and challenging course. First time ever playing it and enjoyed it! And I’m not the best golfer and still had a blast. I’d recommend this course to anyone. It’s a great time and causes you to challenge yourself! 10/10

Absolutely brutal day that was out of character

I have played this course a dozen times if I played it once yesterday, the schedule looked like a great day to play

Turns out my partner and I are playing in a twosome took over 4 1/2 hours to play because the course allowed a fivesome of under skilled golfers to play in front of us from the tips

This group of golfers would not let us play through, and when the Marshall was informed, he said there wasn’t anything he could do about it

It was an epic disaster and ruined. What could’ve been a fine day of golf. I was so frustrated. I stopped playing after 16 holes, even though my partner did finish.

It’ll be a long time before I go back if at all

The best course south of Chicago.

Throughout my decade-long of golfing at Lost Marsh Golf Course, I have found the experience to be consistently enjoyable. I am confident in stating that I have never encountered any disappointments. The staff and starters consistently offer exceptional support and customer service. It is a fantastic golfing venue.

Greens horrible

Green conditions very poor. It's has nothing to do with with staff or course maintainance. It's all about the clientele that play there, no one fixes ball divots on the greens. I could have fixed 50 on every green. Pace of play very slow also. Otherwise great place to play.

Greens need help

First time playing this year, the greens were in horrible shape especially on the first hole. Divots on the green size of baseballs, also people don’t know how to fix ball marks, the greens were not cut or cleaned probably the worst I’ve seen it, I would have fired the greens keeper manager

Lost Marsh Great Course

Course is always a test. Pretty much everything is in great conditions. Couple greens had more debris than you would like for this time in the year, I remember 7 especially. 8th tee nox was not in good shape. These are quibbles though. Overall a fun challenge and great value.

Greens are garbage

I don’t know why it’s so hard for golfers to fix a ball mark. If you’re good enough to make one then you’re plenty able to fix it. These greens are so awful we started taking auto 2 putts. The ball would look like it’s on a gravel road when trying to putt to the hole.

Course was otherwise in good shape. I’ll be staying away from this course for a while until hopefully the greens get fixed.
