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.

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.

Not great

We paid premium green fees for a course in poor shape. Good greens but over all in need of repair. Also, there was no starter. When we made the turn, a ladies’ scramble was on the back nine, meaning we couldn’t finish our round. This should have been stated before tee-off.

Greens are very nice, at bit slow but in great shape.
Fairways are beat up with many areas missing grass, a good shot into fairway didn’t result in good lie.

Course was good in all aspects.

It’s hard to give a good review when your playing ability is not up to par. But most everything about this course was very good. If there is a negative, I would say pace of play was a little slow. Round was about 4 and a half hours long which is a little slower than I like. When waiting on group in front of you every hole, but the group in front of them is also waiting. Adding a stricter course marshalling policy isn’t easy but would be a big help.
Everything else about this course was very good. Will play again next year when I come back to Orange Beach

Great course if you know the little challenges

Lost Key is a tight, challenging layout. The greens were fantastic. It has several tee shots with junk areas you cannot see from the tee box. Hit a good drive and the ball is in the scrub brush cutting into the fairway. The computers on the carts are a great help, but you need to pay attention or you will be looking for golf balls.
The staff is outstanding and very helpful.

Greens were in beautiful shape. The condition of the tee boxes and fairways was disappointing.

Winter get away

Compared to February in Ohio any golf is better. Considering playing in February, I give the course a break.
I am sure it will be in better shape in the coming months. I loved the layout, tight but fair. Greens were in good shape. Tee boxes so so. Good eat on golf now brought me there. Yes I would play it again
