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.

Approach to No. 9 Green Photo submitted by ShragMagtite on 10/09/2017
Good layout , horrible condition
This is by far the worst condition that I have ever seen on this course. Fairways are either bare or a mixture of sand and grass. The greens were mostly dirt with grass mixed in. Wanted to demand a refund. Do not pay to play this course.
Too much sand
Fairways are narrow and sloped toward trouble in a lot of places. A lot of sandy areas (not bunkers) mid-fairway that kill roll.
jimbo
More sand then grass on the fairways. carts paths poor and overall not a great place to play
Lost Key
Super challenging, it’s nickname is lost ball, but the course is excellent to play, the greens are challenging, the carts have a visual program with yardage calculator and landing area information.
I would absolutely recommend playing
Lost Key in January
First the overall layout:
Fairways were not exactly tight, but there is trouble right and left on every hole. Miss by a few yards and you will quickly understand why this is often referred to as "Lost Ball".
The greens are slightly elevated, and fall off quickly on either side and long. Getting down in two is usually not easy. Again, accuracy is at a premium.
Condition:
Tees had just been overseeded and were excellent. The fiairways, not so much. Not much grass, and I assume they are not overseeded. Hardpan type lie is the norm.
The greens are of course Bermuda, but not a grainy as some I have played. They held the ball nicely, but left very little ball mark. The putting surfaces were excellent. If you miss a putt here, don't blame the green.
Overall, this is a very good, but very demanding course.
Great
Everyone was awesome. The greens were a little bit fast.
Need to drive it straight.
Greens in excellent shape. Keeping the ball in the fairway pays big dividends. Beautiful setting with lots of wildlife.
Tough layout, good shape
Fairways, greens, fringes and bunkers all in good shape. Look forward to play again.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MILITARY
I was a member at Lost Key Golf Club for over a year. I received military orders to move to a new location so I talked to John at the pro shop and then Randy who I was told could cancel my membership. When I spoke with Randy he said that he had canceled it and nothing else was needed. Come a few months down the road of me not even being in Pensacola I realized I was still being charged for the membership. I was put in contact with Mike Troyner, the general manager. He has now said that they will not refund me without written proof even though I played my last round there before I canceled and provided them with my orders dated for that next month. This is a course that takes advantage of its members and other golfers. The whole clubhouse should be fired and restaffed with people that actually know how to run a golf club.
Weekday special
Played here on a hot deal and it was a great value for the course. Immaculate greens
Can lose a ball on every single shot
Greens were perfect, not busy so played fast, very narrow and all penalty area on both sides on every hole and surrounding greens. Target golf for sure.
Lost Key
The course is an Arnold Palmer designed course so it is difficult. However, The course was not in good condition. Many bare spots in the fairways. Compared to Crafts Farm, Kiva Dunes, and The Peninsula, which we played during this trip, Lost Key was horrible. Additionally, the staff was nonexistent. We drove up to the bag drop and there was nobody there to meet us. We got our own carts. Based on my first impression I would not play or recommend this course to anyone.
Great day
Fairways are getting much better, but still a little burnt. Greens are outstanding. A little slow but heavy rain that morning. Very friendly staff and included range balls. The range is a bit of an eye sore but tees are solid.
Guys trip
Course is definitely a challenging one. Be on your game
Bad Shape
Worse conditioned Golf Course I’ve ever played in 35 plus years. Range is awful, fairways are even worse. To be fair, I would rate the greens an 8. I wouldn’t pay $25.00 for this course. That Arnold Palmer’s name is used here is shameful!!! I played this course about 10 years ago and it was very nice. They need a lot of money to fix this course!
