Lost Key Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

honeydu, thank you for the awesome rating! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great experience, and thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club.
“Lost ball”
I’ll start with this: the staff were all wonderful. They were all very friendly, very helpful, and very honest.
I’ll proceed next to this: it’s known as “lost ball” all around the town. Whenever we met anyone out and discussed the courses we played, they always snickered when we mentioned playing here. 5’ off each fairway, it’s impossible to find your ball. So you must very hit true to have a really enjoyable round. We were also hoping for better condition fairways and greens for the cost. During our trip we spoke to two people that live on lost key but don’t play the course because of the extremely difficult layout. That being said, besides the OOB, the layout was enjoyable. We enjoyed Perdido and Craft Farms significantly more, though. They were in much better condition and much more fun.

Great shape especially the greens, and it’s narrow
The course was in great shape for Spring golf. The greens were very good, although they could have been mowed down a bit more… a little on the slow side but very consistent.
Lost Key is narrow, I played up a set of tees this year, and found it much more enjoyable… only one lost ball on this course which is pretty good (a friend nicknamed it Lost Ball) and I managed to break 80 as well.
The best part is my wife and I played in 4 hours… we’ve played 5 times in the last couple of weeks and this was the best paced round by far.

Fun and challenging
Chatted with the starter and told him that of the six courses we had played in Florida...this had the best greens! The course was challenging, but as i have always said...keep it in the fairway and you'll be fine!

Nice venue!
For $80 a couple it was a value. Tees a fairways showed some earlier weather issues…but the greens were in great shape…the best of the 10 courses we’ve played this month! Carts were old…no USB port for electronics like a phone GPS!

Condition
Love the course but last time there not in very good condition. Early on year greens were the best. Now not so much, some rough areas in fairway in landing areas.
Hello, tracer95. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Lost Key Golf Club.
Disappointed
Not pleased with the conditions of the course. It has been 3 years since we played this course and it was in great condition then . Now some of the greens and fairways had bare spots and many of the greens had some kind of disease. For the price it was not worth it.
