Lost Marsh Golf Course

Whoever the grumpy non welcoming old man at the first tee was started us off on the wrong foot. 1st time ever at the Marsh was an employee rude & not friendly.

Greens in rough shape and had a hard time finding tee box distance marks. Pace was slow but still ok. Great facilty and easy to get to. Challenging course that will test your accuracy.

First five holes have water in play. On top of that the hole are "links" styled with prairie grass all along the fairways. A real challenge but the course is worth playing for the great conditions. Staff was very cooperative and the clubhouse is phenomenal. Had a great time.

Doesn't play as long as scorecard says. First 4 holes gets your attention. But after that, birdies can be made. All but one par 5's are reachable. It's a fun and fair course

WHAT A GEM! THIS IS A MUST PLAY. $35.00 SENIOR RATE CANT BE BEAT. COURSE CONDITION IS GREAT AND CHALLENGING FROM CHAMPIONSHIP TEES 71.6/127.

This course is in great shape however I would only recommend it to better golfers due to design and wind.

Great layout. Must play some position golf to score well. Lots of water to play over and around. Greens were slow when we played. View layout of holes if this is your first time playing as you have a number of blind shots to make and may have to use a different club to get to the best position.
Overall a fun and challenging course with great value.

Super beat up bumpy greens,but rest of course is fun and challenging

Great course. Great value if you don't pay reg price. Challenging too.

We played 18 here on a Monday afternoon and had a great time. The course is challenging and fun. There are plenty of opportunities to clean out the bag, sending a few balls into water hazards. The views are beautiful, the holes are unique, the condition of the course was excellent. If I lived here, I'd play it often.
Also, the pro shop and ranger staff were friendly and helpful, and the restaurant staff was attentive and prompt. Highly recommend. Really, this course is worth coming to.

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.
