Arlington Ridge Golf Club in Leesburg, Fla. runs alongside the Palatlakaha River, which edges along the entire southern boundary. Centuries-old oak trees have a commanding presence on the course with stately oak canopies providing beautiful backdrops to the greens and fairways. Pro golfer and NBC commentator Gary Koch crafted the layout. He wanted to create a golf course that is challenging but not overly difficult, giving it appeal for players of any skill level. The layout has a varied mix of holes that strike a balance between being tough and player friendly. Beginners still have a good shot at finishing the round strong while seasoned golfers will enjoy the subtle nuances of the course's tests that come from the elevated greens, strategically placed hazards, and dogleg approaches. You won't encounter any major obstacles but Arlington Ridge is a golf course that will make you think.

Great Conditions and Value

Played here many times the last 15 years. Always been in great shape and a great value. Today was no exception. Greens, fairways, tee boxes were in superior shape. The rough is very fair but don’t get in too deep. I will keep coming back. I just hope the New Ownership has the same commitment to excellence as the out going owners.

Gr8 layout, gr8 staff, gr8 course!

We were out early (threesome @7:15a) so pace wasn't an issue. There were some wet areas not really suited for carts yet, but the price, layout, and staff made it with it. A must if you're within driving distance. We were done by 10:40a...

The course is in good some bear spots and the greens are slow and bumpy they need to be cut and rolled.

Hot, Wet and Muggy

Normally this course is in pretty good shape year round, but the incessant summer rains of late have made lakes where there were none before. As a side note the fairways and greens have been aerated a short time ago and on the greens putting was a little off. There were a few soggy fairways and one really wet one on the back nine that would swallow a cart if it wasn't roped off. I was told that the course was being turned over to some golf outfit that runs courses around the country. This is happening as the developer of the property has almost built out the community at this time. Once this course dries up and the new company gets it in shape I'll be back.

Great course wrong address

First off the address that the Golf Now app has is not correct. I just clicked on the link the app gave me and we were taken to a street about 15 minutes away from the actual course. After we got to the course the staff was friendly and the resident we got paired with was amazing. The course was great. It’s florida golf so it had a few sandy patches but I’ve never been to a Florida course that didn’t.

Nice course

For the most part course is in good condition. There are a few tee boxes that are lacking grass. You will come across a fairway now and then that may have a spot that is light on grass. I would not have a problem playing here.

Something changed

The conditions have gone down hill as of late. Apparently the female greens keeper left and the new guy isn’t on the same page as she was. I played the course a few weeks ago and the greens were slow-ish but puttable and the fairways were pretty good. This time around the greens were really slow and the fairways are very thin in spots and there was quite a bit of “goose grass” in the fairways, especially on the back. The greens were in good shape but could be cut down some and made a bit faster. The pace of play was pretty good for a busy Su day afternoon. We played in 3.5 hours. The beverage cart was around to see us multiple times. I like playing AR but if the fairways get any worse they will burn to a crisp. If that happens it will be a while before i return.

First of all, thank you for your comments and for being a loyal customer. Second, I'd like to clarify that the changes you described have little to do with our current Golf Course Superintendent, who has done a phenomenal job since his start May 1. Most challenges we've experienced over the last couple of months are seasonal and weather related; however, we 're excited about the progress he's made and believe we're on the right track. We do have a few fairways on the back nine that are lagging behind the others, but we'll work diligently to restore them as well. We look forward to your return! Jake Doty, Director of Golf
