Lost Marsh Golf Course

About Lost Marsh Golf Course

This Hammond municipal track sits on reclaimed marshland that gives the course its character and its challenges. The wetland setting means water comes into play more than you'd expect from the modest yardage, and the naturally soggy conditions can make cart paths mandatory even when the weather's been decent. What saves Lost Marsh from being just another soggy muni is the thoughtful use of elevation changes, rare in this part of Indiana, that create some genuinely interesting approach shots and force you to think about club selection. The course won't win any conditioning awards, but it punches above its weight class for a city-owned layout. Walking is not only allowed but recommended if the ground is firm enough, as you'll get a better feel for the subtle breaks in the greens that can fool you from a cart. At this price point in the Chicago suburbs, you're getting solid value for a course that demands course management over raw power, making it a surprisingly good test for players who appreciate strategic golf over eye candy.
