Lost Marsh Golf Course

They stack up the tee times and there were generally two groups on every tee box. Yes, it's always windy here and yes, there's lots of water. But the delays on the course were simply unacceptable.

If you aren't an Indiana resident, you pay about 50% more to play here as well.

Clean it up, Lost Marsh!

One of the finest courses in the Chicago area, at a great price. As good or better to Harborside at 1/3 the price.

Lake winds always makes this course more challenging, it would be nice if holes 1 and 3 were later in the round.

Staff is very cordial and customer oriented.

This is a must play course the front nine is the most challenging .

This course is no joke. I play from the tips and with the wind at this place being near the lake, over 6800 yards can seem like 7100 or 6500 depending on direction. Some really fun par 4s (around the 300 mark), some long tough par 3s, and overall really nice design. There are a few holes that aren't really "fair" starting with the 1st. they require some near perfect shots. other than that, great course for the money and a close drive from chicago. well worth every dollar.

I love playing this course but it is deceptively difficult. Bring extra balls.

I have always looked for a chance to play Lost Marsh. Nephews have almost adopted this course as their Go To Course. Now I know why. The course is beautiful, layout great and conditions were out of this world. Only drawback was the pace on the back nine which caused my threesome to jump past 12 and get away from them. Rangers could have assisted but I did not see any of them on the back nine. Even with this, I would have to say that Lost Marsh is a Diamond in the Rough.

The clubhouse crew was fantastic. Stuck around for a few cocktails on the balcony and service was right on the money.

Final verdict - To quote Arnold, "I'll be back"

Very challenging course. First five holes require accuracy off the tee. I had a hot deal so the value was great. Not sure I'd pay full price. Pace of play was horrendous.

We had an outstanding time. Weather was perfect. Course was in great shape. Got a good deal with GolfNow!!

Great course that take a few times playing it to get a better feel of where to and where not to hit. For early November the course was in very good shape.

course in great shape,

tricky front nine

If you want to experience a great golf game on a windy and cold day play at the lost marsh. Please bring bring plenty of balls . It will challenge your game .

Can't beat late October golf at a great course

Very challenging course with many blind shots....tough course and some of the greens are hilly

This review is based only on the first 5 holes because after it took 2 hours 15 minutes to play them i quit. There was a women's high school tourney that for some reason did not get to start at their shotgun start at it original time because the course allowed golfers out before so they all had to tee off on 1 so it through the entire tee sheet off. But based on what i did get to play the first 5 opening holes are challenging, the first 4 holes have water on both sides so be very accurate off the tee. Hole 2 is a uphill par 3 157yd hole but with the wind it played 180 so make sure you club up and hit it straight because its all water right and short! #3 is water all along the left side on this dogleg left hole. #4 is a par 5 that breaks into 3 separate fairways so a 3 wood 260 yd drive then a 150 layup to the next fairway is needed in order to get a decent green shot for your 3rd. #5 is a par 4 dogleg left with a tee shot over water, again a 260yd drive is needed so it leaves a decent short iron into a elevated 2 tiered green that slopes severely downhill from front back. The greens were in great shape and fast. I do look forward to getting back here and playing a full 18!

Great conditions and design. The staff could be a little friendlier.
