About this course
Lost Dunes is a demanding links-style layout that quickly earned a reputation as a stern test, nestled in the sandy soil of Southwest Michigan. The late 1990s saw this open, windswept design emerge, channeling the spirit of classic Scottish links courses more than the traditional Midwestern landscape. Designed by renowned architect Bob Lohmann, Lost Dunes unfolds across rolling terrain marked by fescue grasses, deep bunkers, and unpredictable breezes off nearby Lake Michigan. This par-72 tests accomplished players with length and strategic shot-making, demanding mastery of ground game and ability to control trajectories in ever-shifting winds. Subtle contours and strategically placed hazards punish the errant shot, although a fader is rewarded at this layout. While not a fixture on professional tournament circuits, Lost Dunes holds a respected position within the regional golfing community. The club boasts a membership drawn to its challenging layout and dedication to the traditions of the game, with a focus on camaraderie and respect for the golfing experience. Stories abound of fierce matches contested within its fescue-lined fairways, settled over a post-round drink and the club's well-regarded beer battered walleye.
