The Kings Course at Kings Ridge Golf Club

A Lloyd Clifton creation of Kings Course at Kings Ridge Golf Club is an 18-hole beauty and Lake County’s best-kept secret. Great greens, severe elevation changes, and well-placed hazards will keep you focused on this course. By focusing on the importance of playability, aesthetics and maintenance, Clifton has captured the natural beauty of the area. It is “thinker’s course” where players have an opportunity to use every club in the bag.

King’s Ridge opened a second 18-hole course in 2002. The new Ridge Course at Kings Ridge Golf Club is a Par 57, 3660-yard course designed by Ron Garl, making this an ideal location for your 36-hole day.

Booked a tee time and received confirmation, then called the pro shop to confirm, then showed up and was told that there was no tee time available. I was never called or notified in any way. This place is a JOKE! If you try to book here, they just won’t let you hold when you show up.
Sorry no photos but you know what grass and sand looks like
Nice course with character and hills yes hills both up and down
Its not a manicured course and the holes havent been cut for a while and greens burnt in places but i played it the day after a tropical storm came through and I enjoyed every shot
If your in the area you could do alot worse than play here

Absolute terrible golf course greens are practically bunkers fairways are covered in sand as well and the tees have divots all over them also golf carts are poor and we couldn’t even play 18 holes the only option was to play the front 9 twice so if you are thinking about playing this avoid at all costs
If I could give zero stars, I would. I booked two tee times for a birthday celebratory golf session. We were not actively playing together, but we wanted to stay close as we were a group. We were then separated by the course Marshall who then proceeded to rush us the entire course even though there was no one waiting behind us and we kept pace. There were a multitude of other inconveniences that totaled this to be the worst golf experience any of us have ever had. It was overall a waste of money and everyone had a miserable time. There are much better courses in the area that you should go to that are worth the extra cost. This was supposed to be a fun and relaxing time with friends and was quickly turned into a negative day. The only positive service that we received was from the beverage cart and the check in desk. Had I know that we would be rushed as paying customers the entire course and watched the entire time, I would have spent my day as well as my money elsewhere. As the other reviews attest to, there are better places to go and after reading some of the negative reviews about how customers were treated after raising concerns , I did not bother mentioning this to anyone as I doubted there would be any action taken to resolve the issue. We ended up not even finishing the course and I wish I could get back the money I spent or at least partial of it. It is a shame as my fiancé and his friends would frequent this course but after this experience, we will not be returning and I would advise anyone reading this to do the same.

Kings Ridge is a great layout with fun elevations and challenges. Unfortunately, the conditions do not justify the $74 cost for a Sunday morning. Tee boxes and greens are pretty rough (see photos from this morning). Sadly, this is considered a decent rate in the area now - Orlando golfers are getting gouged. I’ll be switching to some afternoon rounds so I can get on nicer conditions at a better rate.

Course is in great condition, Beautiful course and course layout. Played 18 on the Kings Course 10/21. First time at Kings Ridge, Steven in the pro shop was very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely return for another round.

If I could give 3.5 stars I would, the only reason I gave 4 stars because it was priced fair. The course was in ok condition for this time of year in Florida, but not great. The staff was friendly enough, it just wasn’t a course that would stand out among others or one I would make an effort to go back and play. After reading some of the other reviews I expected it to be a little nicer, but it’s all relative. If you want a nice course you’re going to pay $100+ this time of year and I paid $40 to play late in the day, so fair enough.
