Rating 69.8

A Lloyd Clifton creation of Kings Course at Kings Ridge Golf Club is an 18-hole beauty and Lake County's best-kept secret. Great greens, severe elevation changes, and well-placed hazards will keep you focused on this course. By focusing on the importance of playability, aesthetics and maintenance, Clifton has captured the natural beauty of the area. It is "thinker's course" where players have an opportunity to use every club in the bag.

King's Ridge opened a second 18-hole course in 2002. The new Ridge Course at Kings Ridge Golf Club is a Par 57, 3660-yard course designed by Ron Garl, making this an ideal location for your 36-hole day.

Weeds Everywhere

Dead tee boxes, fairways and greens full of weeds. Greens hadn’t been mowed. Bunkers unkept. Really disappointing round of golf. Super slow groups not letting anyone play through. No water stations, no beverage cart. It was 97 degrees out there.

Skip It

Horrible conditions that are getting worse instead of better. Fairways are mostly dirt mixed with weeds. 50/50 mix of crabgrass on the greens.

Easy course, not in good shape, but inexpensive

Only water on one hole. Wide open fairways, but a lot of weeds. Definitely winter rules. Greens were slow, and uneven, need cutting. Fun course, played in a threesome in 3 hours. Good to get some practice for a low price.

Needs improvement

Played Kings Ridge King course and it' needs some love. Good course layout however, weeds and dirt patches in the fairways and weeds and high grass on the greens are unacceptable. Please improve this course. I'm driving 35 to 45 minutes from Apopka and would love to see improvements!

Great layout

Great layout! Awesome undulation for Florida, but the fairways were in disarray and the greens have seen better days. Was about an hour and thirty minutes from my house and would go back if they stepped up the grounds keeping.

Getting back into shape

Workers were everywhere, but they were very courteous. KR has green grass in the fairways and around the greens. There are some weedy areas, but I'd rather have that than hardpan and dirt, like many other (higher priced) courses. Fun course that has it's challenges.
