Lost Nation Municipal Golf Course

Great course. I live 20 minutes from it and I can’t believe I had never played it before. Probably would not be real challenging for a low handicapper, but I play off a 20, so it was perfect for me. Course was in EXCELLENT shape for Cleveland getting hit with 6” of snow 4 days ago. Hats off to the grounds crew!

Last few years this course has outdone itself. Hope the players do their part and repair ball marks etc. thie only thing i did not like is $14 head for single carts. Most courses let you split the cost.

Lost Nation Municipal GC is a convenient, easily accessible and well maintained course that is close to home and reasonably priced. Due to this, I make it a point to play the course several times a summer.

Unfortunately, in every instance I have had a poor experience with an single employee. Myself and other players in my group been sternly chastised several times for not being completely familiar with course rules (ie no drivers on the driving range). Most recently, me and another player had arrived 5 minutes prior to our scheduled tee time, and were ready to tee off at our allotted time. We were told we are “about to lose our tee time”, and rushed to get off the tee, just to be put behind a slower group of 5 players, impacting pace of play.

Most of the staff is friendly and accommodating however it’s clear this gentleman has a small amount of authority that he wields without prejudice.

Unfortunately after several negative customer service experiences I have decided not to patronize this course in the future. I am much happier making the drive to Hemlock Springs, where they seem to appreciate your business and do not have an attitude that it is a privilege to allow you to play their course.

The work that has been put into Lost Nation over the past 5 years has been fantastic. The fairways and greens are in excellent shape. Unfortunately someone forgot to put sand in the traps and while they rack the dirt up to appear like sand, it is not sand and is only 1 inch deep. Putting sand in the traps would be a capstone move to finalize a great restoring of this course. At at the end of the day, how much could a few truck loads of sand cost? Do this and it is a 4.5 star course. Don't do it and it remains 3.5.

It’s been about 4 years since I last played at lost nation and it’s just as bad as I remember. The course is always in bad shape. Very dry, diseased patches of grass everywhere, never have a decent lie in the rough cause it’s just patches of dirt. The staff there is so strict with their rules on pairing people up for pace of play. When I went I just went by myself and they made me share a cart with the other guy who also went by himself which I felt was very awkward and a little silly with Covid-19 still being a thing. Honestly I hate playing here I only go because the price is low sometimes and it’s close.

We were greeted by the kind starter, which seems to be a rarity. All the staff inside in the pro shop and cafe were kind. The course was nice and well kept, outside of a few few boxes which were actively being repaired. I would recommend this to others and will definitely be going back!

The course was a little backed up due to late finish of a league. The starter was doubling up pairs to get things moving. Took a few holes before groups started to spread out. We started on the back 9 which are more challenging. It seemed better to play these first! Stopped gor a hot dog and beer at the yutn snd service was wuick! Hot dog was very good and hit the spot!

Greens were aerated, but I knew that going in. Starter put me on the back, which was nice and quiet. Very friendly staff.

Overall, course was in good shape. The greens were a bit deceiving, but that’s standard for aeration. The Golf Gods were not smiling down on us today - rough round. But we al know how this goes, come up 18 and sink a 20 footer for par. Drop a ball on the fringe and chip in with a 72 free wedge. Just enough to make me want to come back.

With the pandemic it is ridiculous they charge extra for single carts. Several courses in Lake county have barriers so you can share a cart and feel safe. They give the lame excuse that Lake county does not require the barriers. This pandemic is not going away anytime soon so invest a few bucks for the barriers w/o ripping people off!!!!
