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.

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.

Too narrow.
Too many blind landing areas with no idea where the hole is. No rough at sides of fairways, just swamp. Too much target golf. If you play, you're better off hitting irons to the 150 pole, unless your drives are dead straight. Oh and after the turn a "member" threesome squeezed in ahead of us making for a slower back nine.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your visit and we will take your comments into consideration in order to improve our course layout and pace of play. Thank you for your review.

Best shape in years
The greens were immaculate. Tee to green, this is the best shape I’ve seen Lost Key in for years. My hats off to the greens keepers.
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.
Great Course
This is the 3rd time playing Lost Key. It is a fun challenge. Got paired with two great locals/members ( Kevin-Dwight)who helped with strategy and was a pleasure to play with. The course was in great shape and the staff was friendly as always. The entrance is off the main road that runs along the ocean and you enter through a secure guard house. Only issue would be the cart girl was almost non existent. She was seen once during the entire round. So load up your drinks and snacks prior to heading out for your round. Great course, location and staff.
Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the challenge of playing Lost Key and that you were paired with helpful locals/members. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the limited presence of the cart girl and appreciate your feedback. Thank you for your kind words about Lost Key Golf Club, location, and staff.
First Timer
We enjoyed our day at Lost Key. I would say it is not for a high handicap, there are places you have to thread a needle. Ha. . The fairways were in really good shape. Most every were you hit was nice fairway grass to hit off from. And it was soft. Greens were very good also. Nice day, nice course . Oh, pace of play was a little slow ( played day after Memorial Day at 10:21 tee time. - That might have had something to with the slow play. ).

Great laid out course
What a great time, just do not always reach for that driver!!
We’ play south Florida all the time and this course is up with some of the best we’ve played.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, u160933792. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club!
Fairways are way too narrow, too difficult to be enjoyable
First time playing this course. The course itself was in good condition but it’s not a fun place to play. Played with a very good golfer that shot 69 at another course in the area the day before. He lost several golf balls at Lost Key and didn’t break 80. Not sure what can be done to improve the course other than widening the fairways.
When you give a 2 star rating to a course based off your awful skill level is enough said. Don’t bring the ratings down for a well maintained course that has great reviews bc you can’t handle how hard it is… do everyone a favor and never return thanks #playbetter
Hi, wtbaldwin. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We understand your frustration with the construction projects underway. Please bear with us as we work diligently to make improvements. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Great course. Great space.
Very challenging course. Not for the faint of heart.
Good course management skills are a must.
Hi, rjamesmc. Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad you had enjoyed your time at Lost Key Golf Club, and pride ourselves on delivering the best experience possible.

Course was in good shape, plays tough as always. Very little room to miss the fairways. Don’t go looking for balls off the fairway, lots of snakes!!

Wonderful Course
I’ve played Lost Key since it opened in the mid 90’s. It’s always challenging and a wonderful layout. It rewards good shots but can be punishing if you get off line. Beautiful scenery and a great staff. Look forward to my next trip.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, u314159628837! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Lost Key Golf Club.
COULD BE GREAT
The tees and greens are very good, especially the greens. The fairways, rough and sand bunkers need lots of work. I have played this course quite a few times and not much has changed. With all the activity around Sandy Key I keep hoping that the course will be developed into all t could be. I’ll play LK from time to time but would pay premium greens fee if it was a premium course.
Thank you for your review, u314163860796. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at Lost Key Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
