Lost Nation Golf Club

Lost Nation Golf Club, a public 18-hole course in Illinois, United States, opened in 1970 across terrain that mixes forestland, marsh, ponds, trees, rough, bunkers, and elevated greens. Hole 2 is the course's number-one handicap hole, requiring a drive over marsh through a narrow tree opening before climbing a steep uphill fairway. Hole 7 brings out-of-bounds and a road on the right, with deep rough and trees pressing in from the left. Hole 16 is a 474-yard par 5 with a pond right and what the course calls its most diabolical green. Golf Digest readers have awarded Lost Nation Golf Club 4-star Places To Play honors. Practice options include a putting green and a short-game area for short- and mid-range work. The bar and grille has an outdoor deck overlooking the tee boxes for holes 1 and 5, and a Pro Shop carries a supply of merchandise on site.
