Lost Marsh Golf Course

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

Very nice course but a little too tricky for it's own good. Too many blind shots. But a fun course none the less. It's a shame they are aerating the greens this week because they roll great and are already too soft. Totally not necessary.

Played on a perfect fall day. Got paired with two other gentlemen who were about the same skill level.

Enjoyed the course, the tee boxes and fairways were in good shape. The greens were a bit beat up. Not very smooth or fast. I could have spent all day fixing ball marks of other less considerate golfers which really was my only gripe .

This course will give you every shot you are looking for. Lost marsh makes you think about every shot. Great course well play again

Very challenging course. Front 9 in particular. If you aren't extremely accurate, better bring a lot of extra balls!!! Back 9 not as tough, but not knowing the course made it a lot harder.

Played in extremely poor weather which made a extremely difficult course horrific. Layout reminds me of one of the fantasy courses on Tiger Woods golf game! Front nine is all target golf hopping across islands and back nine moves into the trees a little. Seems every hole is a "signature" hole which is great at first but surprisingly gets a little old after a while. Course conditions great, even in heavy rain. Would recommend to play but take plenty balls, have fun and dont beat yourself up when you shoot high numbers.

As you approach Lost Marsh, you cannot believe you are going to be playing golf on a nice course. The area is not a pastoral setting.

Yet when you get there and go into the gorgeous clubhouse you forget where you are.

The course is tough, especially the first 5 holes. Bring a ton of balls as there is water everywhere.

The staff is generally friendly, even though the person who signed us in was not particularly friendly.

Enjoyed this course a lot, lots of different looks, greens in really good shape, the club house is excellent, and the staff could not be more friendly.

What a beautiful course. Great layout. Brutally slow pace at midday Saturday, somewhat to be expected. Great Facility, great staff. I will play here again.

Great course Well kept. Several tough holes.Very challenging course.Greens and fairways kept well,nice staff.I like it a lot.

Tough course. Played on a Saturday morning. Though I'm a high handicapper, I do keep pace. I don't spend a lot of to me looking for a $2/ball. Can't say everyone takes my approach. Course can do a better job preparing you for shot strategy on a few holes. Live along lakefront, easy to get to, good value compared to comparable course in north suburbs.
