LOST NATION MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE

The muni that Cleveland-area golfers whisper about, this layout threads through mature hardwoods and gentle Ohio farmland with the kind of routing that makes you forget you paid greens fees under forty bucks. Designer Dick Wilson's subtle hand shows in approach shots that demand precise distance control to elevated greens protected by natural swales and strategically placed bunkers. What separates this gem from typical municipal fare is the variety—you'll hit everything from long irons over wetlands to delicate wedges to postage-stamp targets.
