Lost Marsh Golf Course

Great course, be prepared to lose balls. Aaaaaaassaa

first time played it and was awestruck by the challenges, even without the danger of water all about. it was well worth the drive from Frankfort Illinois to play it and I hope I can convince my playing partners to make this a must on our travels.

First time playing this course and it was as equally challenging as it was beautiful. Course was in excellent condition, except for too many ball marks on the greens (which I blame on the golfers more than the course management/employees). It was a extremely wet and rainy day, but had a wonderful time. The course was exceptionally challenging and tight, and gave ample opportunity for precision and creativity - not my strong suit, but great risk/reward opportunities and played fair. I would highly recommend

This course was awesome. The front nine is built around a ton of water providing challenging target-style golf (to play it safe you can leave the driver in the bag). The back nine has it's challenges but it has far less water and is a little more forgiving if you hit a bad tee shot. It is very well maintained with great fairway grass and quick greens. All in all this course was great for the value, not too crowded, played at our groups own pace, and I will definitely play there again.

Lost Marsh is a golf course that challenges your decision making. The course is in very good shape and has lots of water.

Played here on a Saturday at Noon. The drive from Chicago only took 30mins.

The course conditions were excellent from tee to green. The opening 6 holes are very difficult due to water harards and tight fairways. There is a real mix of wide open fairways and very narrow fairways.

The first 9 holes took 3 hours and the back 9 holes was 2 hrs 30min. So the only downside was a 5.5 hour round. The food and drinks are priced generously.

When you know there is a golf out if taking place, perhaps you shouldn't put 3 twosomes out right behind them. Maybe think about putting a gap between the outing and regular golfers. This is basic stuff. Besides that, the course was great. Just wish I could have played 18 in less than 6.5 hours.

I love this course. If you can make it throught the first 6 holes you can probably score well. If not, be prepared.

played 5/3/15 fairways need water desparately. talked to ranger
he said the water system has broken pipes under the ground therefore cant water the course. hopefully the rain today and that
scheduled for the rest of the week should help immensely hope its not to late to save the turf.
have to accept the fact the layout of the course is (to be kind) rather strange. (and i don't mean Curtis)
have to play some pretty weird shots (ie teeing off irons on par
fives. laying up on par 4's.
number 6 green is as nutty a green that you will ever putt on.
last, when its really windy. best advice get back in your car and play some where else. if thats not possible just go upstairs , order some food and drink. dont under any circumstances play this course unless u like to add 10 strokes to what u normally shot.

Tough course to play if windy conditions. Greens are consistent, but they are in the sun 100% of the time.
Hitting fairways maybe an issue with all the doglegs and staggered fairways.

I have played Lost Marsh many times and believe it to be one of the finest courses in NW Indiana. On the day we played it, however, it was apparent that the weather conditions have not benefitted the beautiful fairways at this facility. There were many bald spots where grass normally would be growing. I have no doubt that as the weather warms up, the fairways will come back and that the course will do everything possible to enhance the process.
As an aside, the clubhouse and food at this facility is top notch. Also, the sand was abviously imported from somewhere else, and it was a real treat to play out of it.

Shot a round on Friday 4/24/15, got onto the course just as the weather changed. A 20 degree drop in temp, and steady winds out of the north at 15 mph.
Pin placement at 1, made it challenging to putt from 10ft out. Anything longer and you were looking at serious breaking points. Greens tended to be slow and a little mushy with the high water table and overcast skies.
I usually golf this course later in the season, and the greens will be fast, because all 18 of them are in the sun 100% of the time. Challenging for both the intermediate and experienced player.
Bottom line. Golfed a $40+ course for $17 on Golfnow.com.
I'm not complaining.....

I love this course very well maintained excellent layout nice and difficult have to play the wind and adjust the great thing about it I got to play for only $17 I wish it was a clear day because this was definitely a great course to play recommended to all

Terribly overbooked 5 1/2 hours for round, beautiful and challenging course though.

For a course in an inner city urban area it is quite nice. Open areas are very windy and make the course more challenging than it looks.

Fun golf, course is recovering from winter so not in the best shape. Good combination of what I would consider a birdie hole and difficult holes. I will be looking forward to playing again this summer

awesome layout, cheep beer, early so greens are still dormant. 1st 4 holes are monsters, if it's windy, can be treacherous.

This course is a great. Close to the city, but far enough out to get a fair price on green fees. the staff is great and the facilities are always clean and well kept

Really enjoy this course. First time out, did not play well. This time shot 91, which is not too horrible from the silver tees. 20mph winds. Plays like a true links course. If you can get thru the first 5 holes without the water eating the balls, you should be good from there. Saw a bald eagle! Big dood perched on a small low branch in one of the small lakes. Will definitely be back. Well kept, great staff, great experience.

It felt like I was playing in the caribun it's a unike golf corse different than any other corse very challenging but fair
