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.

Penal for non-straight hitters
This course is not one to brush up on your game. Being a little off line will result in lost balls and penalty strokes. Without a course guide, the holes are not intuitive and you may find yourself hitting through fairways or taking lines that are not where you thought things were.
The greens were in wonderful shape and roll true. The fairways are nice, but roll into the tough and you may not find your ball. When found, the grass grabs your club. Also tough to judge distance in case the ball is sitting up, you very easily can slip underneath. The sand is fluffy and fair to hit from - which you will do a lot!
This course is best for consistent straight hitters.
Leave driver in bag except for 17th hole
Thjs course is tight and there’s trouble left and trouble right. Greens are in great shape. Stay out of the traps cuz you’ll be hitting a fried egg. I look forward to playing here again.

An intimidating but great course!
If you are not a straight hitter then take a few extra balls. Greens here are extremely large on most holes and are in excellent condition. They will probably be some of the best you will play. Be ready to encounter marsh after marsh and a good amount of sand, but landing areas are accommodating for the most part. Yardages to the front, middle and back of the greens are well marked on sprinkler heads but a GPS giving you yardage to landing areas can be very helpful on this course.
Thanks so much for the great review, u942038578. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club.
Enjoyed the round
First time on the course. Not forgiving and the wind made it even tougher. I am an 8 HC, played blue tees and it was a challenge. Not a course for high HC, but a good challenge for low HC.
Pace was great until I ran into a 3 some that were beginners and would not allow a play through. Overall, good experience.
u314163511757, 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 Day for Golf
We really enjoyed the golf course. It was challenging but not overly difficult from the correct tees. The greens, tees, and fairways were in great shape. The staff was courteous and helpful. Overall it was a great day on the golf course.

Poor condition on everywhere
I was excited playing on Lost Key although some reviewers said this course is like “Lost Ball”.
But it was not just about Lost Ball…
I saw lot of poor condition on fairway.
Rough was just rough.
Sand on bunker was hard even the weather was good.
Green condition was also not good.
I don’t understand how people give more than 4 stars on this course.
I was absolutely disappointed on the course.
I played Kiva Dunes about two month ago.
Kiva Dune is much much better than Lost Key!!
Learn how to spell and enjoy playing other courses in the area paying double the price! Your review sounds like your golf game… Awful!

Challenging
The course and greens are in excellent condition. Hit them straight and you will not have any problems. Keep them in the short grass. It was gun.

Great course
We had a really good time playing here. The staff was great and the course conditions were good. It had some rough spots but what public course doesn’t. It is a tight course but still didn’t have many issues playing it. Definitely will play here again.

Hello, u508148041. 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.
Tight
Bring plenty of balls if you are not accurate off the tee. A couple of holes are very confusing off the tee, but still a great course. However, i have never putted on such perfect greens. Will definitely return with a better game off the tee.

The greens were outrageous.
We played in normal time, course in great shape, t, f, g. Very tight course. Bring balls. I would play it again and again.
RG945CF6BB77699077AF, 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.
Cool course
Just a cool layout course and in great condition. True you can’t bomb it on every hole but it’s cool to play a course that requires course management. The greens are in very good condition and fairways are like carpet. Staff was awesome.
