Tee Boxes

I felt the course was in great shape other than the tee boxes. If they could be flat, it would make drives more enjoyable. Quite often felt like I was trying to drive differently due to the condition of the tee box.

Lost Nation

Great course for the money. Under new ownership the last few years and they are putting work into the course, it’s coming along nicely. Pretty simple layout, but a fun course to play and work on your game. Greens are big and easy. A few holes need some work, but in a few years they will be in good shape. Pricing is great as well, one of the less expensive courses to play in the atea and makes it one of the better values for the price point. Usually wide open as well, so singles can get out and cruise through.

Lost Nation - June 14

Overall, the course is in really good condition. Several of the greens appear to have some type of issue/disease. Looks like management is attempting to resolve the issue.

Greens were terrible

Have always liked this course, but this trip the greens were not in very good shape,. Lots of dead spots, but more than anything a recent aeration made then awful to putt on. Despite that it was a reasonable price to pay and with a little attention the greens can be made very playable.

Fairway and tees but those Greens

The fairways are well kept for the fees. The tee boxes are well kept and slightly larger than average. But the greens are in rough shape. Large Bald areas that appear to be filled in with a paint or green filler that is not organic in nature.
