Pensacola / Perdido Key

[OK_Golf]

Hello all,

Thinking about a week in Perdido Key and was wondering what the current thinking is on best places to play. Older threads all point to Lost Key (which looks very close to the condo we are looking at so that's great). How are current conditions? Also, wondering what anyone knows about Pensacola Country Club? Recently joined a private club at home, so I think i could go the route of asking my head pro to set-up a round there, but would be interesting to know how inviting (or not) PCC is to reciprocals (and what the guest fee might be).

Thanks,

I have played PCC on reciprocal before so given availability you should be good. I can't remember what the guest fee was but I am guessing $100+. You should think about playing Kiva Dunes and maybe Peninsula over in AL. Short drive and really cool courses. I would play Kiva over Peninsula if I had to choose. Also some great courses over towards Destin. Tons of resort courses you can get on, but one of my favorites is Burnt Pine. You will need some help from your pro here. It is inside of the Baytown development but I believe it is private.

Newgs,

Thanks for the info. We've been to Orange Beach / Gulf Shores before and played Kiva and Peninsula. Those were my two favorite courses when were on that side of Gulf Shores. Hoping to stay a little closer to the condo this time around, so closer to Perdido (or possibly Navarre).

Appreciate any other thoughts on PCC. I've never use this reciprocal thing and kind of want to try it out, but it's hard to beat a 5 minute drive to Lost Key.

Pensacola CC is a wonderful golf course and the people there when I played it last May were very friendly. Definitely worth seeing if a pro-to-pro call can set you up for a round.

Thanks for the info and the pics, Tim. Looks like a great course. I sent you a PM.

 

Anyone else played these two (Lost Key and/or Pensacola Country Club) and have any thoughts comments?

... one more bump here before our trip next week.

 

No one every mentions Perdido Bay on this board. Does anyone here have a thought? Current conditions? Perdido Bay vs. Lost Key? Conspicuous by its absence so I'm guessing the opinion is that it trails Lost Key and others.

I don't know the current conditions, but Lost Key, aka Lost Ball, is a relatively tight course with lots of native areas. Just a heads up depending on the type of experience you are looking for (its fun/nice for what it is, but its not a bomb and gouge sorta place).
