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.

Excellent course to play

One of the best golf courses in the Pensacola area. They take great care of their course. Tight course with lots of water so you need discipline and accuracy to play here. If you don't, the course will humble you very quickly.

Bring an extra ball !

Large green and nice size fairways, should help you in the Challenge. But if you missed the fairway you're out of it No playable rough here buddy. Arnold Palmer did an excellent job utilizing the swamp land. My favorite course in the area And with GolfNow deals I can afford to play here .

Tough, but in great shape

Course plays tight. If you're not in the fairway, it may be difficult to find your ball. Bring extra balls and consider leaving the driver in the bag. Beautiful course though

Amazing Course

Course was in near perfect shape, very challenging. Do not anticipate using your driver much if you don't hit the ball straight. Tight fairways and near impossible to find balls in rough.

Course was as beautiful as it was challenging.

Outstanding golf course. Every hole could be its signature hole. You better be accurate or bring extra golf balls. Tough but fair, if the wind is blowing - watch out! If you visit the Pensacola area and you enjoy challenging course Lost Key is a must.

The course was in really good condition.

The course was in really good condition. The green ran true and had a lot of mounds. The course was kind of tight but challaging. The only set back was getting through the gate to the course. There was no number or code to call the course to open the gate to get on the property, I had to get on by a resident that was behind me that was tired of waiting on me.

Excellent putting greens

This course has great putting greens. Fairways are in good shape too. Course is pretty narrow and is all about positioning not for the grip and rip player.

This course is very unforgiving if you don't hit it straight.

Greens aerated and sandy but fairways in great shape. Tough course with hazards on both sides of most holes.

Resort course with pracitice areas, Range.

Friendly staff, practice balls are included with price. Nice fairways and well groomed greens. Lots of water on most holes. Some carry drives from tips. Can be challenging for skilled players. Some holes are placement golf. Not many out there at noon. Very few golfers on Sat of Labor Day weekend. Would come back to play again.
