About
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.

A good venue for most golfers.
The course for most of us senior golfers is a very good layout.
Great Course
Found the course a bit wet but we have had so much rain it was expected. For the most part the course is well drained and maintained. Greens and fairway in good shape compared to others in the area.
Enjoyed the day.
Course in good condition
They maintain the course and it is in good condition. Lots of friendly people play at the course. Have been matched up with several different people and always have fun.
Deteriorating Conditions and Fading Customer Service
Regularly play this course. Conditions have gone downhill rapidly in both areas prefaced in the title. The starter was rude, rigid and unpleasant. The course was not busy. I was forced to wait 40 minutes to wait on 3 more people for my 1:15 tee time. No one was waiting and no one tee’ed off for 30 minutes. Then the greens were horrific. Bad customer service and bad course conditions loses my business every time. Good luck and goodbye..
2nd Time Around
This was our second round at Arlington, the first being over a year ago. The course was in pretty good condition except for the front 9 greens which were a little rough due to some grass disease that they were in the process of treating. The back nine greens were in much better shape. This course features large greens and wide fairways and is fun to play. We'll be back in a month or so to hit it again.
Greens were BAD!
Course was not up to expectations. Pro shop was polite and hospitable. Practice range was decent. Starter was helpful. Cart girl was avaialable every 4 or 5 holes. Course conditions were decent except the greens sucked. Bumpy, bumpy and oh yeah more bumpy. Not much grass on the greens. An attempt to make a putt more than 4 foot was a crap shoot. I doubt I will be back. Terribly disappointed as I was told this was an excellent course.
Poor condition
Course is in bad shape play was slow 4 1/2 hours without being busy. Called before playing , they said great shape , not even close. Horrible !
I am also a retired golf course superintendent
All morning tee times were sold the day you played so we're pleased to hear the pace was 4 1/2 hours as that's our goal when the course is full. It's been an incredibly busy season for us and although there are wear patterns from heavy traffic, the course is in relatively good condition. Thank you for your comments!

Pleasant day of golf
Friendly welcome, helpful starter, very good fairways, some greens need more grass but still playable. Had a very good experience.
Nice course
Some greens need a little water.
A few tricky holes but all in all fairly forgiving track
will play again
Relaxing
Great to course, great shape, great people...
...relocating out of the area so it will be tougher, however will make it back. Played 30+ courses in Central Fla. the past year. This is the top 5. Top 3 in practice amenities. Year round, course is in great shape, seasonality conditions are exceptional.
No buts, great shape and the greens are currently stimpin extremely fast and smooth. There is some seasonal mold however the catch the ball very well. Rough is down so the fairways are a little wider than normal growth season, Tees are flat and in great shape. Bunker sand smooth and consistent, Beautiful new homes all around the course. Everything is spotless at the Pro Shop and top quality for a 55+. Will miss it however will be back asap.
Thank you for your fair assessment of our golf course. We especially appreciate that you mentioned playing 30+ courses in the area and are pleased to hear you ranked us in the top 5. We look forward to your return and hope you have a great summer! Jake Doty, Director of Golf
Arlington Ridge Golf
I would not recommend this course. We live here and has it changed. Divots all over, no greens “can’t hold a ball. It used to be very nice but now the residence are going to take it over, seems like no one cares. This course needs attention!
Good Value
For the buck. Greens are not over seeded (my preference) so they are ugly but rolll very fast. Fairways are over seeded and most are wide and nice only issue was green surrounds. No overseed and more sand than grass If you missed a green more often is than not you had to putr or maybe low lofted iron punch. Practice range ok. Pitching/chipping ok, practice green ok.
I paid $32 to a friendly staff. Tough to beat. Give it a try
Arlington Ridge Golf Course
We live here and we are so embarrassed today when we invited friends here to play the golf course. The play was extremely slow, the greens terrible we had to apologize to our friends for the shape of the course. We started at 1:15 and finished 6:00 a long day!
Your tee time of 1:15 was the first available starting time of the day following a fundraiser. The Starter has to watch out for folks that try to slip out early so our apologies if you felt we were overly stern; however, we did have an obligation to the event coordinators. Course conditions are what we'd expect after a busy season and are improving with each day. Jake Doty, Director of Golf
