In fairness it was nearly 100 degrees so on a nicer day my review would be a LOT different. PROS: VERY nice staff. Man in pro shop looked for every discount possible. He followed me to my cart and gave every recommendation in the book. When done, young staff member saved me some steps by taking cart from me after I deposited items in my car. Cart worked as needed. No bells or whistles but did its job. Surrounding mountains make for a handful of nice photos. Greens fairly consistent. Not especially fast OR slow, with challenge on some greens with undulations. CONS: No snack shop OR restaurant. Had to BUY water at pro shop. Not even water fountain. No locker or shower. Just one small restroom. Thankfully few people at course. Don't know what they'd do on crowed day. Worst cart path EVER. Been on courses with gravel paths. That's what they ought to do. Even a dirt path would be better. One or two scenic holes, but very unspectacular layout---despite topography. Course wasn't grass with bare patches-------it was bare area with pieces of grass here and there. IINCREDIBLY RUDE PATRONS. I realize the course can't control that when understaffed, but had 2 different groups reluctant to let me play through. Older foursome on last 5 holes so bad I skipped a hole. A course with a ranger would have had group have me play through. OVERALL: you get what you pay for. Not expensive ($29 during prime time for 18 holes with cart), but NOT a course you'd go out of your way to play. If you are heading to State College from Harrisburg and have some time to kill, in better weather would recommend just playing 9 holes there.

I played a scramble tournament here and it was in great shape. It has elevation changes, a few unique challenges, a beautiful creek running through the middle, a great water hazard on hole 9. The pro did a great job on the tourney, everything was ready when we arrived, grounds were in excellent shape, and the food was amazing. Just a great day and experience all around.

The course was in great shape. My group had a 2:00 tee time. It was a sunny hot afternoon with the temperature reaching 90°. A welcoming breeze kept the heat bearable, but adjustments with club selection became important. Depending on the direction of the hole we had played, a one to three club wind adjustment was needed. With that said, a decent roll in the fairways made the approach shot shorter. Yet, the fairways were still green, and the lie was good. The greens were firm and fast but still receptive with a well struck iron. Course management and decision-making here added to the enjoyment. The pro shop was well stocked. The drinks were cold and the food was excellent. Staff were courteous and helpful. I played in a scramble, and based on the above, I would recommend Lost Creek to anyone interested in having a golf outing. ⛳️
