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.

Great course.. ignore negative reviews
Course was in great shape indicating that staff had overcome the drought from earlier this year. Greens were best I have seen in two years in Gulf area. There were patches of same in fairways where damage had been done, but it was very playable. Great value for the money. Beautiful scenery and bird sounds or deer too.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club.

Fairways need attention. Greens were immaculate
I've played Lost Key many times.
Yesterday, Oct 25, 23, there were many many vare places in the fairways. Around the greens were sketchy. But the greens were immaculate and very fast.
Thank you for your review of Lost Key. We apologize for the issues you experienced with the fairways and the areas around the greens. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our course conditions in the future. Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club.
Unique course
Not for everyone due to difficulty. Need to play more than once to learn how to play. A. few blind spots and areas to avoid. Very tight but fair. Paspalum greens were fabulous. Fairways had experienced some apparent drought issues.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and apologize if you found the course challenging. We're glad you enjoyed the Paspalum greens and will work on improving the fairways. Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club.

Lost Key Review
Fairways had issues, I don't know what the problem was, they had a lot of thin spots with no grass, every fairway. Greens where great, smooth as glass.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Lawrence. We apologize for any issues you experienced with the fairways and appreciate your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the greens at Lost Key Golf Club.
Great Layout
The wife and I played this course for the first time while on vacation. The course was in great shape with the greens being in fantastic shape. I will say you better not be a slicer or hooker or you will loose a lot of balls. Talked to the 2 guys in front of us on number 10 and they had already lost 12 balls on the front nine. That being said we loved it because it's not a boaring layout. You have to pick your targets on every shot or you will find yourself in trouble. Again it's an excellent layout in excellent shape and every employee we had contact with was very nice and helpful. We will definitely be playing it again every time we're down here on vacation.
Thanks so much for the great review, u1925045. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club.
Excellent Accomodations/Very Challenging Course
Course, Clubhouse, and Staff were impeccable. Easily one of the nicest experiences I’ve had. Course is intensely manicured but very challenging, any OB was in the surrounding marsh. Looking forward to playing again now knowing the layout.

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.
