Lost Key Golf Club

About
Lost Key Golf Club is conveniently situated equidistant from the historic downtown area of Pensacola and the pristine white sand beaches of Orange Beach and the Gulf Shores. The Arnold Palmer-designed layout was Florida's first golf course to be certified as an Audubon International Silver Signature Sanctuary. It underwent a major renovation in 2006 that included the addition of 2,200 native trees, 13,000 wetland plantings, and the resurfacing of the tees, greens, fairways, and rough. The golf course now presents a formidable test for even the most seasoned golfers. The greens are large and undulating and the flat fairways are lined with trees. There are also doglegs fairways on six holes and sand bunkers on several others. Lost Key Golf Club's signature hole is the par-3 13th hole, which requires a tee shot over water to a partial island green that rolls across dramatic elevation changes.

Lost Key golf course
Really challenging golf course. Fairways were sparse in some areas. Greens were absolutely perfect. Play was very slow, but staff led around two groups! Would recommend!

Great Course
The course was in excellent condition with great fairways and greens. I will play here again. There were several holes where a better hole layout diagram or GPS would have been a huge advantage.

Yes if fairways had more grass
A tight course should be more rewarding of a ball in the middle of the fairway. It may be that the sandy soil makes grass difficult to grow. Sparse as it was, the fairways held the ball allowing for a solid shot to the green. The greens were excellent for an average player. Easy to read and held their lines.
Hello, Davidturoff. Thank you for visiting us at Lost Key Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Greens are awesome
Course was in good shape for the lack of rain lately, but the greens were the best I've ever played on, they were so good, thah they looked fake
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, Carrol7181000! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Lost Key Golf Club.
NOT for the faint of heart!
Super tight fairways. If you don’t hit it dead straight then you will not have a good time! Learning from the last time I played here, I went up a tee box so that I could go down a club. The ranger did his best to help with pace, but it was still painfully slow. I think that was due to the skill of the two 4-pieces in front of myself and another random guy that I was paired with.
Thanks so much for the great review, u974586354. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club.

Love this course
This is my 2nd review on this course and I still love it. Very challenging. This heat wave isn't doing anyone any favors but, Lost Key seems to be doing everything they can to mitigate. Overall the course was in great shape even after recent aerification. Can't wait to play again in cooler weather!

We can't do anything about the heat wave, but we appreciate your understanding and are glad to hear that our efforts to mitigate the situation are appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you back and to cooler weather! Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club.
Great course in Perdido Key!
Really challenging course with tight fairways, and hazards at every shot. Super fun but will challenge golfers of every level. One of my new favorite courses!
Thanks so much for the great review, achristt. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club.
Tough golf course in poor condition
Very difficult course but fun to play. Have played many times over the years but is by far in the worst condition I have ever seen it. Not sure why. Very disappointed.
We sincerely apologize for the disappointment you experienced during your recent visit to our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and will make efforts to ensure better conditions in the future. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Vacation time!
Found this course years ago through our condo owners. Been a fan ever since. Tough layout but fair for well placed shot. Not sure that I'd want this to be my home course, but for vacation.
Yes
Thank you for your review, Willis5969387. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Lost Key Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Lost keys
We stayed at the resort so I planned to play here all week. Not a whole lot of fun when you’re struggling from the tee box. Tough course since the fairways are tight. Definitely lost a more balls than usual. If you are good enough to really challenge the course It’s a well kept course. Greens a fast and well kept.
