Kings Ridge Golf Club (The Kings Course) Tee Times

My thoughts on the course. Had to sit in line for 25 minutes to get in through the gate. Got to the clubhouse and you have to park quite always away. The clubhouse pretty much has nothing in it as far as merchandise goes. There is no starter or Marshalls so it’s this kind of come and go maybe pair up with someone or not, but everybody just heads to the first tea whenever they want. Now as far as the course goes. The best part about this course with this time of year was the fairways. They did have plenty of grass on them from overseading with Rye. The rough was just dead and dormant , which is expected. The thing I didn’t like about the greens is that the pins were way close to the edge and the greens were slow so you had to muscle your pot so you had to get the brake just perfect. You can’t just trickle it in. The course is also really short from the tips. It’s only 6100. For this time of year the price is reasonable. Had a good time, but several things could be a bit better. Also, when I was done, I wanted to hit some balls. It was 455 and they won’t let me go to the range because they’re worried about carts getting in. That made no sense though because people are gonna be out golfing till 630. So that kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.

Played the Ridge (par 3) course. Staff was EXCELLENT. The range is fine, facility is nice enough. The neighborhood that this course is in... A LITERAL DREAM! If the course was as well maintained as the lawns, trees, and homes in the community... this would be a $50+ par 3 course. The layout is AMAZING. The downfall is the groundskeeping. Was "in recovery conditions", but that is a stretch. 75% of greens were damaged, HALF extremely damaged. 2 holes were just simply UNPLAYABLE. I had more fun just driving the cart through the gorgeous community.

Friday. Arrived about 30 minutes prior and they let us right out. No starter available and finding the Hole 1 via their signs was not easy. The course was wide open with cart path rules near tee box and greens. The low cost to play was justified based on the overall shape of the course. We had an enjoyable round. No ball washers or water on course but there was a m/f bathroom. They also had a snack barand outdoor seating, Enjoy!

Visited and played Friday Feb 13th and its always a fun layout to play (a feel good course) and was very surprised to see how good conditions were on the Kings Course. Greens were the best we played all week, tee boxes were good and the fairways were green. Paid twice as much earlier in the week that could not even come close condition wise. Even the folks in the clubhouse were friendly, kind and willing to help out in anyway. Don't miss this place in your golf schedule, its worth a round! Thank You Kings Ridge for a good day!

We take a golf trip to the Orland area mid-February from northern indiana every year playing mostly different courses. This is the 2nd time for playing Kings Ridge. 4 years ago we had bad directions to the course and arrived with little time before our tee time. We were admonished by the starter because we weren't at the tee 10 minutes before our time. Today we were well ahead of schedule. Pro-shop personnel were cordial and friendly. I inquired about needing to produce the receipt to the starter and was told they would have our names. Turned out there was no starter and a group or 4 foursomes were ahead of us the last scheduled for 10:57 or tee time was 11:07. We didn't get the tee until 11:30 and waited every hole at the tee as well as in the fairway and approaches. Carts were an ourdated hodge-podge. One cart in our group was electric the other gas setup for street cruising with the exception of bag holders, no GPS. Course conditions were what you would expect for a mid-February outing. No complaints there. It just seems to have lost a step or two from our previous experience.
