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.

Lost ball

Expect to lose some golf balls during the round. Course is challenging multiple ways. Water on almost every hole, narrow fairways with trouble on either side and greens with a lot of bumners.

A Beautiful Course

Lost Key golf course was in fantastic shape when I played April 23, 2025. The greens were in amazing condition and very consistent on all 18 holes. The layout is somewhat challenging but not too difficult. Highly recommended.

Tight Course where accuracy is required

Lost Key is a great course on Perdido Key. Fairways are tight and shot accuracy is essential. Erratic shots off the tee will make your round look awful on your card. Course management is your friend. Greens were in great shape and well placed. There is abundant sand and water in play. The staff was friendly and helpful and they provided us with a great experience today.

Too slow play

Disappointed with pace of play not being enforced. We have played this course each year we are in the area.

This was the first time that extremely slow play was allowed.

There was a group of 5 allowed to play together with majority of group had not played golf before. Evidently the course management did not stress to the group to allow Singles and Twosomes to PLAY THRU,

There were several singles and twosomes that either quit playing or went around the group and did not play all holes due to the group.

No Grass

Very disappointed, most of the greens and a majority of the fairways had very little grass. If spend the extra mo ey and play somewhere else. Food in the clubhouse before the round was quick and good. Excellent Staff.

The greens are perfect

I would say the course has a hole is very good. The greens are really nice. They roll pretty true. You need to keep your ball in the fairway cause if it gets out, you won’t find it.
