Golf is definitely one of the major attractions at Kings Ridge. There are two courses on site: the North course and the South course. Almost half the homes in the community border one of the two 18-hole golf courses. Residents can choose membership for the North course alone, or for both courses. For activities besides golfing, the multi-million dollar clubhouse provides many amenities and is always bustling with activity.

The two golf courses can be utilized exclusively by residents three days per week. Golf memberships are available as well as daily fee programs. The 18-hole, par-70 South course was designed by Lloyd Clifton. It is not a very long course, but designed to challenge the golfer to use every club in the bag.

Kings Ridge Reviews
- Chris W.|August 24, 2018It's been almost a year since we moved in and if anyone states their nothing to do here in Kings Ridge of Clermont they must not be looking. We have found that KR has what they state on the website, from clubs (about 150+ and numerous ones for everyone - if there isn't a club just ask if you can start one and you may find others to join you.
One of the biggest highlights are the Great neighbors and GREAT FRIENDS we made and all you have to do is say HI and let the process begin.
Fun times, multiple variety of music and entertainment - Lobby entertainment, Pool side Karaoke (at the main pool and yet there are 3 pools to chose from to swim), dances almost monthly, music at all times at all pools / cabanas to relax and enjoy the day or sunsets, performances, etc etc etc....
Outside activities - Golf (2 - 18 holes courses) , Tennis, shuffleboard, Bocce, etc..
Other activities.
Let's not forget the HELPFUL Office & Maintenances staff they Work hard, answer questions. Most of all we consider them Great Friends. So if your looking for an over 55 community stop by, take a look for yourselves and join in the fun and relaxation.
PS if your a person who like to shop, eat out, performances all types, small / large city things to do, beaches, amusement parks there all within driving distances of your home. Thanks again and hope to see ya soon - Ron S.(Resident/Homeowner)|November 10, 2017If you want paradise, Kings Ridge is it!

- Bob M.(Resident/Homeowner)|January 7, 2015We have bought over a dozen homes. This purchase was by far the easiest yet.
- Elise (Resident/Homeowner)|December 28, 2014Central Florida is a beautiful area with many choices of retirement communities. I checked out several in the area, but Kings Ridge had everything I needed and more. Even though I am not a golfer, I enjoy the beauty of the courses everyday. The clubhouse and the north spa have much to offer. I chose the Whitehall neighborhood. I love the private courtyards that each home has in Whitehall, and they are the only neighborhood that has their own pool and tennis courts. That neighborhood is also very accessible to the shopping plaza. I have only lived in Kings Ridge for a couple of months, and have already made several new friends. I look forward to getting involved in Clubhouse activities, and have already used the workout room. In Kings Ridge, it feels like you are on vacation everyday.
- Robert S.(Resident/Homeowner)|May 15, 2014Kings Ridge was my #1 choice after visiting many 55+ communities in Central Florida. Then it was a matter of finding the ideal location and house within the community within my price range. My 55 Places Partner Agent quickly related to what I wanted and the rest is history. The Kings Ridge facilities are very impressive and a major deciding factor was how Kings Ridge takes care of your yard area, maintains your sprinkler system using reclaimed water, paints the exterior of your home every five years, provide basic cable TV, etc. for a reasonable monthly fee. The bottom line is I could not be happier with my decision!
- Danny K.(Resident/Homeowner)|January 16, 2014We have found a Haven at Kings Ridge. The facilities and people there are the best. We make new friends every day. The community is made up of both elderly and young at heart folks. Very active. Our 55 Places agent was very patient and thorough in helping us and guiding us through the whole process with no pressure at all.
- David (Resident/Homeowner)|December 29, 2013This beautiful 36 hole gated, warm, friendly community is situated in the Hills of Clermont (highest point in Florida)5 minutes south of Hwy50 on Hwy27. Both coasts are 1.5 hours each way, Miami 3.5hrs and Key West is 6.5 hours. The city of Clermont is growing wonderfully. KR is 10 minutes from Old Clermont and most surrounding stores circling 27 & 50. Major malls are east 15 minutes (Wintergarden) to 30 minutes (Millinia) and Orlando Airport (MCO) is 40 min east. There are 3 entrance & exits, North (Main), South (mall) and East. The south gate is connect to a small strip mall with Publix, Empire Liqour, Pix Gas, Sun Trust, MacDonalds, CVS, Walgreens and many other businesses. North on 27 towards 50 (and on 50) you have many well known businesses, restaurants, stores, movie theatres and much much more. Everthing is so close it's really and truly unbelievable. All the staff are courteous, helpful and put one interesting events. There is the North Club and South Club Houses. The North have a salt water wading pool and fresh water lap pool where the South (main clubhouse) has a large pool with 2 lap lanes and an outside wirlpool. The South also has patio covered bbq's for your special occasions and all the happening events in the main club building. The courses and grounds are very well maintained. Your neighbors are friendly, caring and watchful. Legends is across Hwy50 and The Villages are 15 min. north. Please look us up on Google Maps to get a better view picture and I hope these few words are inviting. See you on the 18th hole!
- Susan L.(Resident/Homeowner)|June 23, 2013Kings Ridge offers tons of activities, nice amenities and welcoming neighbors. I moved in about 6 months ago and have already made some great friends. I participate in lots of the activities like bingo, ceramics, bridge, knitting and scrabble. This fall I plan to do some volunteer work in the community and want to do more extended trips with the travel group.
