Reviews
Terrible shape and very rude staff. Course was in the worst shape I have seen a course. Stay away!
Course was nice, not great, not bad. I was worried about the greens, where I come from, all that different coloration would have meant uneven greens, but they rolled fine.
Enjoyed playing. Will probably return.
Scenic course with lots of birds, greens small, fairways in great shape.
Nice course.
best course should have been last day
really enjoyed it
Great course. Great staff.
Played a scramble here.....worked out nicely.
Bring extra balls. They mean it when they say lakes.
Plenty of water and narrow so straight beats lenght. Was not in great shape with patchy fairways and slow greens. Would not play again.
This is maybe not considered a high end course, but it has interesting, challenging holes.We played it last year, too.We played 3 rounds there this year.Two rounds on our scheduled day,and another the next day when Falcon's Fire was too busy to get in our complimentary round. Ridgewood gave us a good deal that day.Their staff is very welcoming.
Nice course for the price. Plenty of water.
Course not up to much, greens not very true
Would not recommend
This golf needs a lot of love. A yardage book would of been helpful. Could become a nice place to visit but needs some work, mostly on greens.
course in good shape
would ant to try a different course next time
Great layout and very good condition.
Actually a little disappointed with the course as it feels run down. We golfed at it a few years back but it has deteriorated since then.
Interesting layout, fairway, tee offs were in pretty bad shape and greens were ok. Needs plenty of water and grooming. Good pace of play, however not that many players on the course.
Excellent value green fees. Course very interesting, Pro shop staff very welcoming. Enjoyable layout of all the holes and the course generally well kept, although lots of water, so make sure you have plenty of spare balls! Greens good when we played and would definitely recommend visit to this course just off the I4 near Davenport.
Rained from the 8th hole on. My best round of the trip. What does that say? Nice layout. Lots of water but mostly lateral hazards. Very few forced carries. The course was in good shape but with all the rain the greens were hard to evaluate.
Nice course but not one of our groups favorites.
Above average but not anything special. They always seem to be short carts and services, but course stays in decent shape.
Very accommodating pro shop and starter golf course. Pricing is reasonable.
Again a fun course. Very busy and could use some effecient starters for groups. Pro shop people were very nice.
Not overly impressed with the course
the only letdown,played this course for many years so we go back out of sentiment but alas it has gone downhill last few years lack of staff around the place greens nothing like they used to be generally got a tired look about it and probably wont be on our list any more crying shame
Had to contend with a delay with our start time due to an outing for a shotgun start. Rain also at the start of play and a complete rain out at the 18th. A great course to start our week and play for the new year.
Great course to start the week off with, which we have done many times
Generally good value.
Great course and great value. Golfed it twice. Best value/quality course I've played in 9 yrs. March breaking in Orlando. Definitely worth the short trip south - easy to find and well worth the trip
Tough course, lots of water and wind
Acceptable golf course but not that challenging in the course design.
The course was in good condition and very easy to find. Lots of water. We will keep this course on our rotation when visiting Florida.
Looked fantastic but we got rained out after seeing just a few holes. Want to come back to check it out next year
The course was challenging because there is water on every hole. The greens were a little slow but true. The staff was very friendly and the clubhouse was adequate.
played here in 2009. the track layout is nice but it was extremely wet and high winds when we played and not in quite the condition it was a few years back
Challenging course in fantastic shape. Very fast greens.
Not the best condition. It was ok.
Very nice layout. Had a great time. Would play again. My wife loved the course too.
First round on our trip. Very courteous staff and made us feel welcome even though we were late due to a major traffic jam. We would play again!
This is an excellent 'sleeper' course- a great track in great shape!
ALOT OF WATER
Played in the afternoon. Course was good. Would play again.
A lovely golf course, not as demanding as some but still worth playing.
This was a disappointment again this year. When we arrived for our tee times we had to wait over 30 minutes past the first tee time and then they decided to start us on the 10th which is not a problem except when we came around to start the front 9 we had
Fun course with tons of water,
good course to play on day one of 3 day golf jaunt. Forgiving and in good shape. Not a lot of trouble and greens ran true. I would play it again.
Better course than expected. Few blind shots but forgiving fairways and few bunkers. Lots of water though. Greens only fair shape and slow. Staff moved very crowded course around nicely. Would play again as a value course.
Booked tee times at Ridgewood Lakes after noticing good previous reviews of course. Went on what turned out to be the wettest possible day of our holiday and thought course would be closed. However we did play a twilight round and were probably the only on
First class facility. Watson course was an excellent layout in top shape. Clubhouse and service were quite good. Worth a trip back.
We also played Highland and Providence. This was our first day and we would rate it as good but our least fav of the three. A god warm up but we really liked the other two much better.
Very nice course. Fun to play - narrow and lots of sand. Bring your A game.
The starter was a stand up comedian. We loved him! Course was nice and the the pace of play was good. Lots of water and many alligators about. Would play it again.
good course
A little tricky for an opening course. The starter was hilarious.
One of the nicest courses I have played! Staff was excellent and the course was in nice shape for a fun round! Would play again in a heart beat!
very nice would play there again.
Well worth the price - challenging layout
Very nice tract. Lots-o-water. Starter was hilaroius.Would play again. 4 stars
Tricky course. Your shot isn't always as it appears. Fast greens. Friendly staff. The starter has funny stories to tell. Would play this course again.
set up of water and sand make player use all clubs, bring extra balls anyways.
Beautiful course - water on all 18 holes! If your driver isn't straight - leave it in the trunk of your car...wish I had! Nice routing - good variability of wholes - pleasant staff... all in all a good day. Shaun D. Bath NH
Too many hidden shots but great course if you like to have water to come into play. There is water of some kind on every hole.
18 holes all with water. Challenging but very nice place. Have to play it more than once to appreciate it. Accuracy counts. Tight holes due to water and small greens.
Played here before and I look forward to playing again - amaxing course and well taken care of. Complimented by the staff friendly attitude we had a great time. Keep up the good work with having a friendly staff and well taken care course.
nice course
THIS MY SECOND TIME AND NEXT YEAR I WANT RETURN
Great Course. We found it very Challenging and the staff is top notch.
We enjoyed this course - although the water hazardsand bunkers made it very challenging. Pace of play was adequate.Friendly staff in the pro shop. Good value.
Excellent course - and in outstanding condition. Best conditioned course of the 8 I played this trip. Highly recommended.
If I lived near - this would be my home course. everything was fabulous.. and really tough
Everyone in our party was very pleased with this course it was one of the best ones we have played
Great design. Course condition was average - partly because of a heavy rain. We had lunch included - it wasn't very good.
The course was in great shape. All of the guys enjoyed the layout. A special thanks to Shannon @ Tee Times for helping with all the arrangements
Very good course with excellent greens - great value for money and well worth a visit.
Good condition - good course to start on after longtrip. Had a great time - staff was friendly and let us tee offearly because they weren't that busy at the time.
Excellent holiday course in very good condition.
I was in the water more than the fairway. If you like water and can keep your ball straight then you'll enjoy but if you're like me bring lots of balls.
Did not enjoy the course. Rather difficult.
A perfect course to start the trip on. Challenging and very playable.
Nice course and in great shape.
The starter was excellent
Nice course - alot of water!
Fun course for the price. The water may lookintimidating on the website but it isn't as much a factor asyou'd think from the blue tees. The course seemed a little drybut the greens were nice and my group had a blast. We also got tosee a few gators which i
Well designed course. Tough to play - but fair.
Good course with good greens.
Great shape as usual. We like to play this courseevery time we come to Florida. Great value for your money. Lotsof water and very challenging. Medium speed greens and not tosloped.
Great course with a lot of water.
Very nice course. Fast Greens.
Del Webb community. Too many members just showing up without tee times.
First class course and great value for money. Greenswere the best I've played on all year. A challenging and fairlayout. Excellent holiday golf destination. We even cancelled ourtee time at Falcon's Fire to play there a second time.
Greens were sanded when we played - but still didn't roll that bad. Fairways required precise tee shots on most holes. Several blind tee shots wasn't what you expected... beware. Laid back atmosphere
This course was fun to play with the right amount of challenge and ease. The greens were nice and the fairways were well maintained. An added bonus was the small alligators in some of the ponds.
Second time around playing this course and it was just as good as the first time. Not nearly as crowded (had 2 singles pass us on 15) but besides the weather (again), the course was in great condition. Got out before our tee time, had free range balls as well.
Nice tough layout with lots of water.Conditions were a little rough due to lack of rain.
great
Very nice course - staff was very helpful. Will playthere again.
A great place.
Nice course - got off on time - greens rolled nicely - great value.
This was an extremely beautiful golf course that had lots of water on it. It was extremely challenging and had several holes on it were there was no bail-out area. It was not hard to lose a sleeve of balls during the round but it should be experienced by
Coarse is in great shape. Have played several timesover the years. A must play for the price.
greens to fast for the undalations our group had 11 four putts
Enjoyable course to play. We were lucky to play with 2 members to warn us of hazards. Slow play.
BEAUTIFUL COURSE ANDE GREAT CONDITION
This is one of the best courses I have played - the condition was great - I want to play this course again.
Played this after Southen dunes in the morning - we thought this course was far better - holes were more interesting another recomendation from us.
Played this course on the last day. Got there early and hit the range. We went past our scheduled tee time, but were told that the group behind us would wait for us to tee off. Very friendly staff and great service. Course played very well. Pace was sketchy at times, caught the group in front of us a few times, and eventually got past them on #9. After that, smooth sailing until 17, but at that point we weren't too concerned. The course had a great layout, challenging hole locations and really made you pick your shots. 10/10, would DEFINITELY rank #1 course of the trip
solid course....lots and lots of water and very tight greens and fairways on certain holes. Number 11 has an impossible shot from the fairway...
The staff was good but pro shop could have been nicer and staff running the food/beverage seemed overworked and not very hospitable. All in all, not a bad track but it ate us up!
SUPER FAST GREENS. TOOK HALF A ROUND TO FIGURE THEM OUT
Fast greens, in-consistent sand, water everywhere.
We forgot our GPS in the condo, so playing here with no idea how far anything was to carry, made this less than could have been.
It was our second round of the day and we had to stop at Dick's for ball on the way home....
Water is in play everywhere and the greens are true and fast (fastest we played all week).
Sand was terrible, inconsistent at best. We would have expected more with some small greens which were so fast, the sand needs to be addressed.
Risk, reward shots don't pay off here. A few of us who needed to make up a shot or two found ourselves with poor lies, poor angles, and poor results.
Play safe, score ok, play aggressive and pay the price.
The clubhouse staff made this a possibel play again next year stop.
Second best in the package
A very flat layout but with some interesting holes. Wind a big factor here. Saw a 14' alligator close to #2 tee!
Here again, lack of a course guidebook made it a little more challenging.
so so
An ok course. Nothing to write home about. There are a lot of other courses of this ilk in Orlando for the same price. I don't replay any courses unless they're really nice. To many courses to see in Florida
This was our firts course of the trip and the green were the best of the week.
Turned out to be a great golf course. Couldn't just bomb driver all day. Had to think your way around the golf course off the tee.
Nice course and a great staff....
Enough can not be said about how well the staff treated us when we arrived for lunch. They had a banquet in the main dining area, so they set us up outside. They provided great service, got us all fed and to the tee on time. Compared to Diamondback, the course we had just left, this place was immaculate. The greens had grass.
Need GPS on carts or yardage markers on the course, hard to tell the distances as the course is not well marked. Hit good drives into unmarked water hazards often.
Pretty basic. Decent course but did not stand out.
Great course. Drained well after a heavy rain. Very challenging, but a lot of fun.
We have booked this course twice in the last two years. We have had only one problem. It has rained both times. We will choose another day other than Monday if we play again. It is an excellent track with the best greens in Florida. In the rain the greens were still fast. The course is scenic with an excellent design to challenge all skill levels.
First hole is a 'joke'! There is enough trouble on this course in the form of water hazards, the fairway bunkers are TOTALLY unnecessary!
I had not played this course since 2000. I really enjoyed the course.We will come back again.
For a Vacation course, it had too much water in play. That is not a criticism of the course, but when you haven't played golf in a couple of months and on a trip you are on a course that has water all over it, well it wasn't a fun round for me....
Greens were 11 to 12 stemp - ridiculous. Course has too much hidden trouble. You think you hit a good shot only to find there was a blind hazzard where you hit your shot.
Would love to play this course again when it gets a little older / could use either rakes on the cart or a few more in the bunkers
Did not like the course. Greens were so so. Pin placements on slopes of green made putting difficult.
This is not the kind of course to play the first day after not holding a club for 4 months...too much water. Nice course but it should have been scheduled later in the week.
IT ISN'T VERY OFTEN THAT A COURSE IS TOO TOUGH FOR OUR GROUP. EIGHT OF OUR GROUP'S HDCPS ARE 16 OR LESS, AND EVEN OUR BETTER GOLFERS FELT THAT THIS COURSE WAS TOUGH DUE TO THE MANY WATER HAZARDS. TOO MANY FAIRWAYS AND ROUGHS WERE SLOPED TO THE WATER. TOO MANY MEDIOCRE TO GOOD SHOTS RESULTED IN LOST BALLS IN THE WATER, ESPECIALLY OFF OF THE TEE INTO UNSEEN HAZARDS.
Another favorite.
greens where awesome fastest I have played in Florida
Our 2 groups played our worst golf in our 4-day trip, but you guys did not harrass us. We really appreciated that.
Always a good time at Ridgewood Lakes no matter how poor we shoot! Now if i can only get my wife to consider retiring there :O)
Ridgewood Lakes was our newly requested facility this year. The course was in outstanding condition and we were treated like royality. We followed Greg Gagliardi from Diamond Players Club because he more than anyone else really made all of us feel at home. He has really become a friend of our group and in years to come his course will always be our first choice. I would recommend Ridgewood above all others.
One of the most difficult courses when the wind is blowing. But a fair test of any ablity of golfer.
Pretty good value for the price.
Best of the three we played.
Challenging.
Very well kept property.
Would recommend to anyone.
Nice golf course, they were growing the fairways getting ready for a tournament the following week. So the fairways were like chia pets.
we always return here-a real nice course also
Very enjoyable course.
Played on 3-24 Another course that seemed jammed in by condos. Course just seemed to tricked up. We had to hit 5 iron and then 9 iron off ther first tee, the back tees. it was like this most of the day. A few nice holes, but overall too quirky. Conditions were ok, nothing great. The staff was excellent.
Surprisingly difficult course particuarly with a 15 mph wind. Lot's of water and trouble on every hole.
I like this course.
love the course the staff was very concerned about you until 3:00pm two thumbs up
Played on 2-26-07 course was in decent condition, very tight fairways with water on all but two or three holes. Must be accurate with your shots. Jeff B
Nice course, nice extras from the pro shop.
For me just a boring course. The replay was a horrible 6 hours long. We couldn't even finish the last hole.
Not that impressed to be perfectly honest. While there are a few great holes, it's a very flat windy course that get a little monotonous after a while. Also, I was disappointed with the condition of some of the greens. Good value definitely but not a great course.
My FAVORITE
Again another excellent and challenging course with freindly staff and a good Pros Shop. It was especially good value for the extras - Voucher in the Pro Shop, lunch and a drink. Great value!
