Lost Key Golf Club

Set on Perdido Key just west of Pensacola, Florida, Lost Key first opened in 1997 as an Arnold Palmer design and was reworked by the Arnold Palmer Design Company in 2006. The par-71 layout threads narrow, tree-lined corridors through coastal wetlands and native scrub, and is grassed tee to green in Sea Dwarf Paspalum for firm, salt-tolerant surfaces. Its lasting distinction is environmental: Lost Key became the first course in Florida certified as an Audubon International Silver Signature Sanctuary, a program stressing habitat preservation, water quality, and long-term stewardship built into the routing itself. Five sets of tees stretch from roughly 4,100 to nearly 6,700 yards. Open to the public and resort guests, it pairs demanding shot-making with a genuine nature-sanctuary setting.
