Lost Key Golf Club
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.

5’-6’ away on 16 Par 3. Pretty close for a hole-n-one. Got the bird though! Great course. Photo submitted by stepgarr2 on 08/05/2021

Great!
Best condition I've ever seen this course in. Greens were real smooth; not fast but perfect
Challenging Course
Challenging course. It you can't hit em straight, bring a few extra balls. In general a well maintained course with plenty of bunkers and large greens.
Lost Treasure
Enjoyed the staff, course, and adventures while playing. If you are in the fairway very enjoyable. If not difficult shots or lost ball. The condition If course was awesome. It's a course you will enjoy. Excellent bar and restaurant.
Lost key?
Lost Key? It’s more like lost money, lost my mind, and lost a zillion balls. The course is gorgeous and amazing if you’re playing it in the best melatonin sleep of a dream you’ve ever had. I hope you’re ready to buy 48 Nitros, or Noodles at your local Dick’s Sporting Goods on the way to the course. If you’re not Rory McIlroy off the tee combined with Scottie Scheffler’s ball striking and Tiger’s prime putting you won’t break 95. The ball lands soft on the green, and anywhere else shoots into the palm trees and thick stuff at nuclear speeds. Good news for you the course will be entirely empty if you play before 9 am because everyone else whose ever played said screw this and spend the best $45 they’ve ever spent at Marcus Pointe to have fun. Golf Now asked if I’d recommend to a friend. I would only check yes if Scottie Scheffler was my best bud. Best of luck! Shoot em straight!
PS - almost forgot we also paid $10 for 20 range balls
PPS - I’ll never play here again. Beautiful course though!
Vast Improvement
I played Lost Key a year ago, and they had mostly lost their fairways (hurricane related, I believe). The fairways have made a significant comeback, while there still a few rough spots, one can tell they are working on it. Greens are fantastic! I've played this course many times over the years and enjoy it, it's good to see it getting back in shape.
Lost key
Good conditions of course except some fairways roped to no carts in areas to assist in repairs/ recovery..
greens were excellent and tboxes good. Clubhouse was upscale and restaurant had good reviews. We had a good pace on a Monday at 10 am as not many on course due to colder temps. 3.5 hours/ 18 holes.. basically wide open. Carts had gps that wasn’t restricting by cart shut down. Had a hot deal by GNow app 62$
Lost Key = lost balls
A tight and challenging layout that was in decent shape. Playing on a holiday, it was very slow play., my only complaint.
Pristine Condition, awesome PoP
Play here 2 days in a row (Saturday 0948 and Sunday 0912).
Saturday I was a solo and anytime I came up on a group they immediately let me play through.
Sunday I was paired with someone and we didn’t see anyone else on the course. They appropriately space tee times which is nice. It almost makes the longer drive and couple extra bucks worth it.
Staff is all super friendly.
I would say course is for the intermediate player (tight fairways, layup required shots, sloped greens). The course was in perfect shape. Only a few uneven tee boxes which is my pet peeve.
Great Golf course it's tough you better be a straight driver of the ball!
Lost Balls
The course was beautiful and challenging. We found out after playing from locals that the nickname of the course is “Lost Ball” due to how the course layout impacts losing many golf balls. My husband and I enjoyed the round overall.
Great Shape
Course was in great shape except for a few fairways that were roped off to let them heal. Greens were very fast but once you got the speed down were great to putt on. Staff was very friendly and joined a couple that made the play enjoyable. Only drawback is that they are charging for range balls now. $8 for a very small bucket.
A Great Course
A wonderful golf experience. Super friendly staff and the course was in really good shape. I've already book another round!
