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.

Greens were terrible
Fairways were impeccable, greens were terrible.
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.

We were behind some ladies that did not offer to let us thru. Once we got to back nine we played last nine holes in one hour and 10 minutes
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
Interesting track
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!
Good day of golf
I play this course on a regular basis. It is a great value. It is great place to practice. Great for all golfers. Current conditions are fair for this time of the year. Good place to unwind with friends.
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.
Great afternoon
Played course with my wife and two gentlemen from Erie, PA. Course in very good shape, staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoyable round had by all.
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.
JGR
Course was in excellent condition, no carts available upon arrival. Need ranger on course,play was very slow. Took 5 hours and fourty-five minutes to complete round.
Good value for a Gary Koch design
If you've played Mystic Dunes (also designed by Koch), give this a try. It's a bit of a drive but reminded me a lot of Mystic Dunes at 1/3 the price. They had 3 inches of rain the previous 2 days and only 4 holes were cart path. Great drainage design.
Great course
The tee boxes, fairways and greens are all in great condition! The food which we purchased at the express window was good . They did have a bev cart out on the course, which we saw her twice. The pace of play was very slow but it was fine since we were paired up with another couple. Will most definitely be back!
Pace of play
Met Jim, starter at # 1. He gave us five minutes of course history. Than went into
course rules as in filling in divots, fixing ball marks on greens, raking traps,
around green place golf carts on cart paths.Jims dissertation was well taken
by my group. He was friendly and informative.
While playing the first hole we waited a couple of minutes for the group ahead of us
to leave the green. Holes # 2-3-4-5-6 were ridiculously slow. The group ahead of us
showed no concern about speed of play, never offered us a play through courtesy.
Their carts were always parked in close proximity to the greens.
A back up ensued with two groups behind our 4-some, On #6 Icalled pro-shop to report this.
A marshal came out and did his thing, play speeded up for one hole than slowed down
for the rest of play. This kind of disregard for speed of play made our day an unhappy
experience. Thank you for the opportunity to voice my opinion,
respectfully, Bob Santulli
Better Than Average
Arlington is fairly wide open w/the occasional hazard coming into play. Very little water, manageable rough. Greens are generally in good condition, although deceptively slow. Need to knock it to get it to the hole.
Nice Course in good shape
Appears new ownership has continued to keep the golf course in good shape. Greens are a bit slow but not terrible. Very even and true putting surface and fairways are kept in good shape as well. For the money, a good deal. I do like the layout and design. Some very good holes and green configurations.
