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.

ET’s Review

The course was in great condition and the greens were outstanding. The ball rolled where you hit it — good or bad.

Lost Key is a challenging course for all skill levels.

Tight!!!

If you can't drive straight, it's gonna be a long day. It's just a tough course if you are unable to hit straight shots. Greens much slower than what we play back home but we're in great shape. I recommend the course.

Tough Course

Played today with my 17 year old son who has just been playing a short time. The greens were as good as I’ve seen anywhere. Not as fast as I am used to but rolled true. Fairways were great. Lost lots of balls off the tee due to narrow fairways and no forgiveness off the fairway. The gentleman in the pro shop was top notch and very helpful. We played in the afternoon so cart girl was nowhere to be found and the clubhouse was closed at the turn. Disappointing but lots of water coolers on the course. I will def come back once I work out my driver issues.

Bring LOTS of balls

Front nine was enjoyable, overall condition good, about 90% of the greens are well kept. Back nine course condition was poor with a very gimicky layout. This is a course for low handicappers! Very narrow fairways with lots of problems if you don’t have course knowledge. First cut of rough swallows lots of balls. Balls that find the second cut and beyond, are lost forever. Nightmare results for novice golfers.

Excellent shape

This course was immaculate. Couldn’t be happier about the conditions and staff. Difficult course but worth the trip! Lots of wildlife on the course. GPS on carts is definitely your friend.
