Pace of play ruins experience

Played course three weeks ago. 5 hour, 42 minute round. As it was a 90+ degree day, chalked it up to the warm day and an anamoly.

Gave course another chance yesterday. 5 hour, 36 minute round in high 70s, low 80s temps.

Despite reading management's responses that they are addressing pace of play concerns, it would appear that nothing is being done to correct the situation. If the course wants to keep the two rangers on payroll, then it may be better served having them do something else to earn their keep because they are certainly not doing what they are supposed to be doing, which is to keep groups on track in accordance with the course's suggested pace of play. On the two days that I played, the rangers seemed more interested in keeping their carts moving in pursuit of AVOIDING any groups than to approach groups needing a little nudge.

Lost Marsh is a fun course with its fair share of challenges. Unfortunately, until it TRULY cleans up its act on pace of play, there is very little value in what they ask the public to pay and is a recommended stay-away.

Response from on 08/15/2017:
Hello, Jon. Thank you for taking the time to review the course. We apologize that the pace of play during both of your visits was less than ideal. We are working hard to make these changes. Teaching our loyal league of golfers, who consistently visit during the good weather, to move faster is easier said than done. You noticed that we now have two Rangers, which we have increased from the single one we used before. This change, along with others, helps us better the pace. We appreciate you giving us a second chance and can assure you that we will correct this issue. Thanks for playing Lost Marsh Golf Course, we hope to see you again.

Great place to golf!

Tough conditions in the wet and rain, but all things considered the course is in excellent shape for it to be so early in the season

Wonderful links style course

I enjoy lost marsh and play it when I can if I did not live 35 miles away would play it monthly.
The layout is fun with many forced carry shots with water in play on many holes. It was light rain while I played but the greens still rolled at a nice pace.
My only issue is that this course can be pricey over 50 dollars during peak times so I look for a hot tee and get it for 25 to 35 dollars

My Round at Lost Marsh

Lost Marsh is an extremely well manicured course with a great layout. The pace of play was excellent. The staff friendly and the cost is very reasonable for the quality. I typically play Lost Marsh 2 to 3 times a year and I always enjoy it. It is a challenge and a shot maker’s course.

Solid challenge

Lost Marsh is good layout with some demanding shots. You got to pay attention as it has a lot a "target" features. Fun to play with great "money games" elements! Very enjoyable.

Strange Layout

Very strange layout. The first 4 or 5 holes are surrounded by water and very narrow and the rest of the course winds through the woods with very little water. The course is in great shape and was fun to play. A big part of that had to do with playing with people that have played the course and were able to advise me on landing areas. The pro shop employee was NOT friendly but the starters attitude made up for it.
