Lost Marsh Golf Course - Par-3 Course

Challenging course with lots of water on the first few holes and then it turned into a wooded course. Pace of play was pretty brutal and there were no rangers or bev carts. I was a solo and they paired me up in the same car with another player claiming that they were too busy to give me my own cart even though we played from different tees and he was a complete stranger.

This is a great course not too far from Chicago. The first 4 holes are surrounded by water and OB, so hit it straight or bring lots of balls. The rough, especially on the back 9, is a penal as you'll fold - 6 feet off the fairway and you need to be on top of your ball to find it in many spots (right on 18 is particularly thick, even around the green). Play from the tee boxes right for your skill level and it's a fun course.

Overall great course. A few short holes playing as Par 4’s that did make sense.

Course is fantastic condition and truly has some awesome views.. highly recommend to anyone debating whether or not to play this course! Greens are fast and roll nicely. Also there are some tough holes out there and not a lot of room for error off the tee or into the greens!

The main reason I don’t play here regularly is the lack of drinking water available on course as I prefer to walk, other than that it’s great place.

Loved the course and loved everything about it but, they made a huge deal because my wife likes to come with me and ride in the cart. If you are a single, they WILL force you to ride with a random. In the end it all worked out but you would have thought WW3 was about to start and a nuke hit the US

Been playing here for 14 years and it’s never skipped a beat

The group before us had a 15 minute delay for the entire back 9. We were waiting for the ranger to come and say something and they showed up on the 18th. This group was terrible! They were playing from the black tees and not even making it past the yellows. On the last hole one of their players encroached on our play and came back to tee off while we were doing that also.

I am new to golf, so this was my first time golfing at Lost Marsh. Beautiful course and very nice clubhouse. Wish I could say the same to the dude with the sideburns running the pro shop. I didn’t know there was a dress code and didn’t realize you would be treated like a second class citizen for not having a collard shirt. I work at the refinery down the street everyday and want to add to the economy of the area. He treated us with disgust and made us feel so stupid and like scum bags for not knowing we needed a collard shirt. He let us golf only bc I had already paid online. I will return to support this golf course and the clubhouse but someone needs to teach old sideburns how to speak to people and be respectful instead of making you feel shamed and like you don’t belong. A simple “Hey guys, we have a dress code so please remember for next time or we can’t let you golf” would have been just fine.

I enjoyed my round at Lost Marsh!! For anyone in Illinois looking for a great course that isn't in their normal routine; I'd highly recommend this place.

I enjoyed my time at this course! The staff was extremely friendly and most importantly the course was impeccable.
