hidden gem

Challenging, well-maintained course just over the IL/IN border. Lots of water, elevation changes, etc. Staff was friendly, carts were electric and had GPS.

I'll happily make the drive for $50 w/ cart, immense value vs. similarly priced IL muni courses that are in terrible shape.

Challenging but fun

Wanted to give up after the 4th hole 🤦🏾‍♂️, but kept going. The slopes and bad lies can bring you to your knees, but the challenge of hitting them straight was intriguing. Considering its reputation, I only lost about 5 or 6 balls...which ain't bad for a novice golfer. Still was able to par and hit for par a few times. Beautiful layout which I'm sure gets even more beautiful as the season progresses. The wind was crazy, but you can actually score well on this course. Despite the weather having been wet lately the fairways were fairly good. My balls actually got some bounce which is an attestment to the draining of the course. Can't wait to return.

Great first round

Course is great. Affordable close to the city. Greens are slow but it’s early in the year. Otherwise course was in very good condition.

Adversity Never Disappoints

Lost Marsh, also referred to around the neighborhood, “Lost Ball March”. Is a real BEATUY tucked away in the corner of Hammond, IN. But with the luxury club house and all the amenities of a private course. Golfers beware a PGA style challenge awaits you. The first 4/5 holes are all difficult. Must carry the water on all of them. If that is easy for you, then what about the wind. Similar to Harbor Side there is nowhere to hide from the Lake Michigan gusts. Buckle up your boot straps, tighten your hat an extra notch and let’s play some f$?king Golf!

Would be 5 stars if the staff wasn't so rude

Would be 5 stars if the staff wasn't so rude. Definitely killed some of the excitement I had going into the round but I shrugged it off. Great layout and a lot of challenging / scenic holes.
