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.

Lost Key is worth your time
Pace of play was only issue. Everything else was outstanding.
Best Greens I Ever Played
Had to do a double take on the greens. They almost looked artificial because they were that good, very soft and true. You have to keep the ball in play. The rough was tough and outside of it is nothing but swamp land. Practically nobody there mid week. Will definitely go back.

Thanks so much for your wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club!
Course under repair
Back 9 was shut down and rental clubs are sub par.

We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Lost Key Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Bring Xtra Balls!!!
The course is in excellent condition
Narrow fairways and doom if you miss them leads to a challenging round that takes some familiarity with course layout to survive The layout is interesting with a variety of terrains

Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Lost Key Golf Club.
Great track, but it is VERY difficult
Played Lost Key at the start of a family trip to Pensacola Beach, and it was a nice course. Fairways were in good shape. greens were in excellent shape and rolled true. The rough was fair.
This course will BEAT YOU DOWN though. If any ball is outside of the rough you will not find it. There are no openings between holes it's all thick jungle like vegetation so be prepare for some handicap humility. I'm a 10.2 hdcp and I shot a 92 and lost at least 6 balls.
My favorite course in the area was Marcus Pointe for the value and condition. This came in a close 2nd and then Cypress Lakes was a distant 3rd.

Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club.
Excellent Course and convenient to condo
Had a very enjoyable round. Played as a single and was teamed up with another single and 2 some. 2 some played 9, but we played 18. Our pace picked up and caught groups at 15. Considering, pace was pretty good. Course was in excellent shape and greens were well taken care of, though deceivingly fast despite some growth. Keep your ball in the fairway, water, marsh and brush will not be kind to you. Great experience and I'll be back.

Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Lost Key Golf Club.

Very nice
Let me start with the only negative I can say. On the day we played, we were unfortunate enough to get behind a group of three that was more interested in drinking than playing. They had the entire back 9 backed up. Was literally about 10 minutes between be able to take a shot. Perhsps the Marshall could've came around and sped them up.... That said, the course itself was immaculate! Probably the nicest greens I've played on, even better than Kiva Dunes. Fairways were in amazing shape, and tightly cut. This was a challenging course, but I'm looking forward to playing it again for sure. An awesome course for the price! I've paid almost as much to play courses that were far inferior.

Thanks so much for the review and feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Lost Key Golf Club.

A difficult challenge
First time playing this golf course, probably the best conditioned course I played during my vacation in Gulf Shores. The entire course was in excellent condition, the greens were the most plush greens I played on, the fairways were in great shape and the tee boxes were extremely nice. Golf course is very difficult because of the narrow fairways and landing areas without much margin for error for most players and very narrow strips of rough along the edges of the fairway boarded by swampland and hazard areas. Picked up lots of lost golf balls while looking for playing partners ball and the two balls I hit left in the hazard. Pace of play was slow due to several groups in front of our group not playing very good, backing up with two groups on the tee box waiting at times. Overall the best course played of four in the area.

Tight course, stay in the fairway, if you don’t you will lose a lot of golf balls.

Hello, thank you for visiting us at Lost Key Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and feedback. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Greens in great condition
I played this course in April and it wasn't in very good condition, but it has turned around drastically since then. There are still a few holes that are cart path only that they are trying to get the fairway back in top shape, but overall very good condition. Greens are in great condition and roll well with good speed. Course has a great layout and makes you play safe shots or you will be punished with an out of bounds ball. Once all of the fairways are back in top shape it will be 5/5
