Arlington Ridge Golf Club

Leesburg sits in the heart of Lake County, Florida — a stretch of central Florida defined less by theme parks and tourism than by its quiet inland lakes, rolling terrain, and a long tradition of year-round golf. This part of the state attracts a largely retirement-age population, and the golf reflects that: accessible, social, and played at a relaxed pace under reliable sunshine.

Arlington Ridge Golf Club is part of an active adult community of the same name, which shapes both the course's character and its atmosphere. The layout is designed to be walkable and enjoyable for daily-play regulars rather than demanding championship-caliber tests, though a par of 71 suggests at least one par-3 configuration that keeps rounds varied and interesting. The surrounding residential setting means the course is maintained with a homeowner's pride — these greens are someone's backyard, in the best sense.

Central Florida's climate makes this the kind of place where a morning tee time in January feels like a luxury, and for the residents of Arlington Ridge, it essentially is one.
