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.

Golfer Reviews
Hard to locate the entrance, when calling for direction the employee had no people skills
Nice course, I was going to give it 4 stars until 7 Blue Angels in formation and one which appears to be carrying the trainer flew over our heads on hole #18 as I was getting ready to hit my approach shot. That was the coolest Sugar Honey Ice Tea I ever saw on a golf course. Therefore I give the course 10 stars.
Course review
Lost key other wise known as lost ball was in great condition for early spring. Some tee boxes need some work but fairways and greens were A plus rating.

Slow playing, no Marshall
So slow we did not complete 40-45 minutes per hole on back nine, 3 groups of 5, backed up to 4 groups on tee, no Marshall ever came by, but saw beverage cart once & trash pickups twice, played here many time’s but today was worst

Beautiful Course all around but…………..
(Positive +++) 3rd time playing and this is by far the best it’s looked. Great driving range. Fairways and greens immaculate. Tee boxes need a little work as they have lots of sand.
(Negative —) Now the ONLY bad experience was the staff. The moment we (my brothers and I) got to the clubhouse, we felt a real “uppity” vibe from the moment we checked check in until the moment we left. The lady behind the bar at the grille was EXTREMELY rude and not friendly at all. I’ve been in the serving/hospitality industry for years and she doesn’t belong! She gave us bad looks when ordering drinks, rolled her eyes to questions we asked and overcharged us for something we didn’t even order but had to request it to get it. The only positive spin on the staff was the cart girl. Not sure of her name but she was beyond friendly, waited for people to hit before driving thru and simply had the best attitude. She obviously needs to take the other ladies place.
Would definitely go back but get ready for the uppity vibe..

Need to Manage Play
Teed at 11 - front 9 took 2 hrs&15 minutes - slow enough but then it got worse.
When turning, we discovered that 2 foursomes somewhere in front of us decided to go in, sit down, order and eat lunch. Then they came out and went to # 10 in front of us - so now 12 people are waiting on the 10th tee and we have an additional .
Front was open, so we went there again with starter's permission.
When we got to #11 tee, 3 foursomes were on the par 3.
That 9 took 3 hours.
No ranger, no monitoring of people turning from front to back.
When charging over $70/round there is no need to overfill the course nor mismanage what is oversold, be it rounds of golf or food in the restaurant.
Golfers should call from # 8 tee, order, pick up their food and eat it on the go OR lose their place in the queue until there's a gap.

Very tight.
This course is very narrow with a ton of traps and water on each hole. I'd leave the driver home. Greens were great for playing 1st week of March.
Hi, Dennis9984704. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Lost Key Golf Club.
Great Greens
Other than great greens the course isn’t in the best condition in my opinion. Very sandy in many areas but for a coastal course should be expected. Challenging layout and the name “Lost Ball” is very appropriate. Enjoy!

Hard to find but worth the effort
Had a hard time finding the course but worth the effort. Greens were in great condition fast and true. The course is very challenging, accuracy is rewarded. Starter gave excellent advice on how to play the course as a first timer. Overall great experience and will go back.

Torturously Slow Play
The pace of play was so tortuously slow that it ruined our round. We quit after 16 holes, after waiting to hit literally every shot all afternoon long. (Why was there no ranger?) To boot, our friend who stuck it out to the end was surprised to find that the clubhouse was locked up tight—at 6 pm! (He peed outdoors instead.) This was billed as Snowbird Appreciation Day. Weird way to show appreciation, right?
So you knew it was Snowbird day and prob only came out for the lower rate but you are complaining about the pace of play lol… please show your appreciation to never return thanks in advance. Can I give you and your friend zero stars for being DA’s?
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, u181607018. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club!
