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.

Great Golf Day
Had a great time playing golf at Lost Key GC in Perdido Key. It was only 10 minutes away from my rental and enjoyed the course very well. Lost 6-7 balls but found just as many. Haha
First Time Golfing in FLA
This was a pleasure to play Lost Key Golf Course. I’ve vacationed In Pensacola once before and passed up on golfing. Pace of play was great and the course was challenging at times but it was well worth playing and losing a bunch of balls. Some of the holes were beautiful and others lacked the charm. Well worth playing. Will play here again.
Greens
7 days prior to playing, lost key aerated the greens, the maintenance staff is outstanding. Beautiful greens on a solid 9 and a half meter were absolutely beautiful for putting. Still a few bare spots and hard pan, but well worth playing.
Decent Value
I paid $50 for a weekday morning tee time through GolfNow. Good value, but I would not have been happy if I'd paid closer to $100.
The fairways are amazing; the ball sits up like on a mat. Greens were decent but ridiculoulsy slow. Apparently the fairways and greens are the same type of grass. (?). The layout is pretty with some challenging holes. Tons of water and hazaards. Cart paths just disappear at times and you find yourself driving through sand. Starter was amazing and helpful. It's not Kiva Dunes or Peninsula, but much better than some of the other cow pastures in the area.
BE SMART!
Good fairways, perfect greens and tricky layout. Many times necessary to lay up even when you don’t want to. Keep your testosterone in check when playing here. Use the GPS and hit it to the big spots! Many hole the fairways will only be 15 or 20 yards wide. Fun if you play the course and not try to hit bombs. Even then, be sure and bring plenty of balls. Oh yeah, watch out for snakes and gators 😁
Course was in GREAT shape - best greens so far
We were a bit anxious about playing here due to us being told to bring plenty of balls and it's nickname of Lost Balls... Well that may have been true as we lost quite a few balls but the course was AWESOME. We played Kiva Dunes today and paid twice as much. I would rather play Lost Key again. They course is in much better shaped than Kiva. Really enjoyed the round. Still not sure where to hit the ball on some holes but that will just take time.
Great Course
Greens were in perfect shape. Tee boxes were in good shape and fairways were good as well.
There had been a lot of rain in the area so the bunkers were a little hard. Some sand could be added to them as well.
Plays great even after a flood!
We played after a very heavy rain storm in the early AM. The couse is sand based and drains extremely well. The greens were perfect, but alittle slower than usual as it was still lightly raining.
This is a shot makers course. Bring an extra sleeve of balls!
Very tough course
Incredibly narrow fairways with zero rough area for relief. Plan to lose some golf balls. Bunkers could use a little work but the fairways and greens were in absolutely perfect shape.
