Really Struggling

Always loved the layout, and TBH never in the greatest of shape, but this was really bad. Greens were as bad as any I can ever remember seeing. A resident popped out of her house and told us it was because the sprinklers broke? No idea, but the course was in far worse shape then it had even been in before and greens we just unplayable

Course Emergency

I have written many reviews about King's Ridge Championship course and I'll say it again, this is one of the best layouts in central Florida. The problem is that the conditions are very poor. The greens are in horrible shape. It is almost impossible to roll a good putt. There are more weeds (goose grass) that make putting a nightmare. I encourage players to play the course to actually see the how bad the greens are. For the kind of pricing they are asking it is a very poor value. Please management put some effort and money into the course. Don't let this great layout go to waste. I think next time I play I will take some photos and post them.

Course In Terrible Shape

Kings Ridge was in absolute shambles for my round. Over the years, KR has never been perfect, but always consistently above avg. The layout for the course is outstanding. From Tee to Pin, the course was horrible. Tee boxes consisted of sand and weeds identifying as grass. Fwys weren't awful, but they certainly weren't good with numerous areas looking neglected. The greens were just terrible. They had been recently punched (no notification) but somehow managed to be rolling fast which made them all the worse. Major grab grass breaksouts on at least 4 greens. Bunkers in the middle of another 3-4. Parts of more than 3 of the greens were in such bad shape, they will require being completely re-done.

They are getting dangerously close to losing the course to permanently poor conditions.

The course is OK for $10-15 backyard bashing, but any attempts to actually compete on the course will be wasted.

Should be amazing…

Unfortunately, the course is in terrible conditions, and the greens are almost unplayable with weeds.

The layout of the course is amazing and it should be five stars, but with poor fairways and devastating greens and tee boxes it just needs to be dusked up and started fresh with new grass.

Poor greens

Greens were not playable. Not because of recent aerification but because of weeds, bare spots and poor maintenance. Most fairways ok. Played this course years ago and it was in good condition then. No longer the case. Just another Central Florida course in need of good course management.

The pits

Been coming here for 20 years and this is by far the worst shape Ive ever seen the course in. An absolute atrocity they’re charging 50$ for this.

Terrible!

My friends and I have played this course many times in 2022, 2023 and 2024. It was always in good shape, and the undulating greens were very challenging. 6/8/2025 was the first time we played Kings Ridge in almost a year. What a huge disappointment! All the greens are in terrible shape, and overrun with crabgrass. Tee boxes aren't much better. We won't be going back.

Ugggh the Greens...

First time playing here and I was really looking forward to my outing. Got to the 1st tee and the fairway was great but when I and my partners arrived at the green we were shocked at the 1st green. There were bare spots all over the green. And it just got worse throughout the round. Tee boxes need work also. For what they were charging I expected a course in better shape. The course has a great layout but they really need to step up their game. Right now the value for the money is not there.

Can the entire 18 greens be this bad, anywhere?

Last time I played here was 2 years ago so, I won’t know what happened in that time but the course I remember to be very nice wasn’t anymore. The tee boxes were all sand, literally. However, what is shockingly worse was seeing ALL 18 GREENS are in so bad shape covered with bald spots, weeds, and sand! That you can’t make a decent putt. When you putt, ball literally bounces and zig-zags its way to the cup. It was so bad, it was almost funny! We ended up counting all putts as two and done with the entire course. Last time was two years ago, next time may never be.
