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.

5’-6’ away on 16 Par 3. Pretty close for a hole-n-one. Got the bird though! Great course. Photo submitted by stepgarr2 on 08/05/2021

Premium conditions but difficult
Great course. Every green was in perfect condition. The rough was consistent and the layout was fun to play. The course is very unforgiving if you miss the fairway or a green. In a group of single-digit handicaps, there were still many lost balls. The lunch menu in the clubhouse was underwhelming but not bad, just not as amazing as the course.
Would recommend if you prioritize course conditions.

Great course
Great staff, Course condition, pro shop, 19th hole. Only negative no cart girl in July. Man it was hot.
Starter was extra kind, informative and just a good guy.
5* Lost Key
stepgarr2, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club.
Great Course
First time I played this course. Great staff, pro shop, 19th hole. The course, tee box, fairway, greens were in good to better shape. Probably the only negative was they did not have a cart girl. This is FLORABAMA in July so it was smoking hot and some water/Gatorade/beer would have been good before the turn. Next time I am in Orange Beach I would play the course again.
5*
Thank you for your review, stepgarr2. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Lost Key Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

On vacation
It’s a tight course and there is no looking for an errant shot. Starter was very friendly and helpful. Greens , fairways and bunkers in good shape.

Fun course in excellent condition
This was my first time playing Lost Key golf club. We took an afternoon away from the beaches and went and played golf. I am happy we decided to go play golf.
The price was high for the quality of the course, but overall it was worth the spend. The practice area was
great and you got some range balls included in the greens fee price. The starter was friendly and very helpful. The greens at Lost Key are awesome.
The greens are smooth, quick and fun to putt with lots of humps and undulations.
Fairways are kept up nice, but the star of the course are the greens.
The course is challenging, but rewarding. There are several holes with forced carries off the tee box and the design of the fairways is deceptive for first time players and you have more room in the fairways than it appears from many of the tee boxes.
Take the time to go play Lost Key golf club. You will not regret it.
We are so happy you enjoyed your round, RettJ! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Lost Key Golf Club.

Nice, but challenging
Course was immaculate. Some of the purest greens I’ve ever played on. With that said super difficult. Bring plenty of balls. If you are not in the fairway your ball is gone

kristof1, thank you for the awesome review! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great experience, and thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club.
Yikes!
First time to play here - VERY unforgiving, very narrow and few bailout areas. Course knowledge would be huge for precise ball placement. If you’re a 15 handicap and up, you will not enjoy this course.
Greens were in fantastic shape! Some fairways were great, others were burned up
I enjoyed my round but it’s a “play 1 time only” for me
Thank you for your review, goplantnow. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Lost Key Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Down a dozen
Course is in GREAT shape! Greens are just unbelievable. Lost exactly12 balls during the round. It would help if there were more sandy dunes along the fairway to “catch” your ball before it goes bye bye. Some holes have them but not enough. Played a threesome in 3 1/2 hrs. Great course but feels like 15 rounds with Ali after you’re done
Mahfpass, thanks for the amazing review and for choosing Lost Key Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon!
