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.

Good except the greens

Would have given this course four stars if it wasn't for the greens. To be fair we were warned when we showed up there the greens were bad but we opted to play anyway. Fairways are very nice, extremely big which makes the course easier than most. I will go back but probably not for awhile, hoping they can get grass on the greens.

good course

the fairways are the best I've seen in quite some time. greens are sick and it will take a lot of time and work for them to come back. play it only if you get a good price and just take 2 on the greens.

Greens are in terrible condition

Greens are in terrible condition. Fairways were good. Tees were fair.

We played all 18 holes. There was almost no one on the course.

Green are almost completely void of grass. Covered in green sand.

In several places there is a faint outline in the fairway, close to the green, where it looks like a temporary green may have been at one time.

The greens are so bad the course should be closed in hopes the greens can be saved.

I agree with some of your comments; however, the issue we're having now is that many of our greens are showing signs of recovery after an extremely hard transition from winter to summer grass. As a result of this recovery, we now have growth where we had sand. Naturally, patchy areas of turf are no fun to putt and that's precisely where we are with several of our greens.

Your observation of temporary greens was correct, except that these locations were recently cut to provide us with temp greens starting Monday, May 16 on six (6) of our holes. We believe that temp greens will be in play for 6-8 weeks, but we'll have to wait and see.

We are also doing our best to communicate current condition of our greens to customers, but we sometimes do fail to get the word out. We have also requested that customers who book via GolfNow also be informed of current conditions and temporary greens.

If you or other customers did not enjoy your last round here, then I do apologize. We're making every effort to return our course to the excellent conditions we expect and you deserve.

Dissapointed

My two sons and I played this course on May 3 2016. At the pro shop they mentioned the green were "bumpy". they were horrible, most of them had no grass at all. Totally unplayable ! They should close the place till they get that fixed. We payed $22.00 each to play their, they should have paid us to play their.

On a good not the fairways and tee boxes were in nice shape except for one hole where the tee boxes were as bad as the greens.

Wide fairways

Greens were not completely finished growing back in but the fairways and tee boxes were excellent. Very open fairways with good approaches. Lots of area to get ready to play in the form of putting greens and driving range. All staff were as good as you could get, very helpful and very forthcoming regarding conditions and expectations. Would play here any time.

Great course - worth the drive

Great practice facility. The course has a driving range, chipping area and practice greens. The course itself was a little challenging but not extremely. If the course was closer to Dsvenport, I would play it more often.

A senior's track

Course was wide open with few challenges. Unfortunately the greens were punched and top dressed because of some disease problems. Fairways were reasonable but very few bunkers around the greens, Track was somewhat uneventful with no memorable holes. A good track for beginners or seniors.

A Great Day for Play in Pennsylvania

My wife and I played 18 holes today in weather more befitting PA vs FL - overcast, breezy, cool with drizzle on 17 and rain on 18. Limited forced carries, generous landing areas and good greens.We enjoy playing AR; in fact, we'll be playing another round next week before heading back North.

It was OK.?.

Had a deal from Golf Now ($16) for 18. Showed up a little over an hour before my tee time (2:45). Pulled up to bag drop and nobody met me. Dropped my bag, had to walk to get a cart, then back to bag drop. Hit a small bucket (approx. 45 balls) $4. Was going to chip and put, but didn't know where the first tee or the starter was so I went looking. (bad signage) Pulled up to starter around 2:35, nice guy, somewhat chatty. He didn't have me on his start list so he called on the radio. I was playing with 3 other guys. Waited until 2:44 and asked if they were going to show. He had to call on the radio again. Long story short, no other guys, he held me until 3:00, then went off with a guy and his son, just the son played. Was on the second hole, flagged the beverage cart, bought a drink and candy bar and said "see you on the back nine!" She said, this was her last round, she was going home. Made the turn about 5:05, the food window was closed (3:00 close). Course was hard, fast, and dry. (screamed water me please) For $16 can I really complain. YES!! Played through 16, then it was too dark. Pace was slow on the back nine, think people jumped on. I know people jumped on. Didn't recognize the two groups ahead of us. Probably would have finished if not for them. Would only recommend with a hot deal.

Nice Place

This course was close to the RV park where we stayed. Some of the other RVers recommended this course and we were not disappointed. I would play here again with the hopes that all the greens were in good condition. The staff is super, very helpful.

Sand Greens

Overall the course is in good shape for time of year. Repair and maintenance of the greens is necessary to restore them during the growing season. Too bad otherwise a nice course

Gary Koch did a wonderful job of providing plenty of room to play all the holes. Only negative was the greens. Spotty grass, very slow. However will definitely play again!

Needs more care....

The village itself was cute, reminded us of Peddlers Village in PA. The started was great, he talked with us, gave us some history and info about the community of Arlington Ridge. He should be the mayor!! Some fairways need serious fertilizer and watering.

It's a little far for us - 45 minutes away.

Great design. Not always the best shape.

Great course layput. But greens were in poor condition. Looks like they had frost damage. Difficult time getting drinks before round but there was on course beer cart. Still a great value at 30 bucks a round.

Winter golf

I'd been down from Wisconsin a couple of months but my two friends had just arrived and hadn't played since mid November. I picked Arlington for their first round due to their generous landing areas off the tee.They liked the course although one of them thought the greens could have been better.
