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

Too concerned about running into snakes & alligators to concentrate on golf.
Hi, u000006557360. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Lost Key Golf Club!
My favorite course in the area.
Love this course. So many different ways to play it but demands and accurate tee shot. You can be five yards off in this course off the tee and your dropping a ball! This is beach golf at its finest.
Hello, Bwest90. Thank you for visiting us at Lost Key Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Member setup
Greens and fairways were too slow, never saw the cart girl

Course in bad shape
The course is challenging but that was not a surprise as I've played here many years ago. What surprised me was how poor the shape of the course was in. Didn't look like tee boxes or fairways had been mowed in at least 3-4 days and I know it hadn't rained because we were staying right across the street leading up to the round. Bare spots in fairways on many of holes. Course used to be a good place to play. No where close to worth the $100 green fee.
Thank you for taking the time to review and leave your feedback regarding your recent round with us. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience you experienced on the course. It is always our goal to provide our golfers with a fun and enjoyable time and apologize if we missed the mark.

Bad rental clubs
The rental clubs are absolutely terrible & is the main reason i decided to leave a review. I play this course every year while visiting & it’s gone down hill quite a bit - not. $95 course IMO

Lost Key Golf Club
Good course with challenging holes. Lots of narrow shots so have extra balls. Greens were much slower than expected. Staff was very friendly.
Thank you for your review, bmurphy7. 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.
Such a fun and strategic course!
I was impressed with the staff of Lost Key! Dave was awesome and so fun to talk to! I’d definitely come back! Looking forward to the few course repairs to be fixed! It was honestly fun to play! Shot under 100 for the first time of my life!

Poor Player Management, Sorry
Had 7:06 tee time. I was a single. Starter, instead of putting me with first twosome (MEMBERS) or twosome behind me (MEMBERS), put me as a single between them. I'm a fast player, so you know how that's going to work.
THEN, on #9, I hit my approach shot to the green (GIR), and when I drove up the GREENSIDE SPRINKLERS TURNED ON. So, I'm stuck with my ball on the green, 5 minutes of sprinkler. Not fun. I deserted my ball and went on to #10. The twosome in front of me was not teeing off. The starter said they would need to wait 10 minutes as they were spraying greens with chemicals, then watering. NOT RIGHT. I confronted the starter about this, he said it is what it is.
I asked the twosome ahead of me if I could play through as a single, they said yes, thank you.
So, I got stuck waiting on spraying/sprinklers ON EVERY HOLE. VERY POOR. Do the chemicals in the evening or at daybreak, NOT PRIME TIME DURING TEE TIMES. I WILL NEVER RETURN.
Thanks for your input and I’m glad to hear you will never have to hold up a member ever again! This is exactly why you have no friends and had to play by yourself!! Good riddance! Lol
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, Bchenevert21. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club!

Aeration alert
First time playing course. Awesome course. They had just areated greens this week and that’s why I can’t rate course perfectly!. They did give discount for this though! They should call this course Lost ball key!! If you hit out of fairway, don’t bother looking for ball! It’s gone!!
Thank you for taking the time to review us, 2uthdr. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Lost Key Golf Club thanks you!
2nd Time
Hahahhahha it was as hard as the first! Beautiful course. Skinny, long, and well manicured. Bring extra balls. Nice staff, soft fairways, smooth greens, and ask the cart girl for a couple transfusions. It will be okay lol. Had a great time :)
