White Heron Golf Club

The layout is phenomenal and I'm noticing the conditions consistently improving. Can't beat that price, either. Also, best restaurant at a golf course I've ever eaten at! End of the day, we had fun, and that's the most important part.

Basically the course wasn't cut and we weren't advised of the conditions, other than CP only 1-10.

It was worse, new greens are far from grown in and I lost too many well struck balls that plugged. The cutting I can excuse due to the water but overall it needs greens keeper care.

The club house staff was no where to be found upon arrival. The course closed the front nine and didn’t let me or the couple playing behind me of the closure! The back nine is in horrible condition. The greens are trash and the fairways look like the rough. I will never play there again. I would advise all do the same.

They are trying to make improvements however tee boxes and fairways mostly sand. The plethora of weeds in the greens are starting to get better but the weed killer they used has left mini bunkers everywhere. Like a hand grenadine exploded. Next step would possibly be to put sand in those potholes to level them out.

The course has a great layout but the conditions are rough. It's a little underwhelming after pulling into a development with a water fall that the golf course is in that tough of shape.

Yesterday was the first time I’ve played White Heron in some time. The last time I played it, it was called Ridgewood Lakes and it was a great track. This course is now no more than a cow pasture with flags in the ground representing greens. It’s very sad what has happen to a course that used to be a great place to play. I will never be back and never recommend this course to anyone.

Rough is high in alot of places. Some around greens. Good luck finding a ball. Greens were good but slower than normal. Sprayo g for weeds on greens.

This course used to be amazing, looks like it’s been neglected recently. Fairways aren’t cut and are thick. Greens are like putting on carpet. Tee boxes are more sand and ants than grass. Wouldn’t go again for a while.

I was very disappointed with the course conditions. Fairways and greens were in the worst shape I've ever seen. Heron was once a very nice course. Great layout. Good challenge. JC

White Heron is typically one of my go-to courses in the summer as the rates are very reasonable compared to peak season. Normally would pay around ~$40 in the past, but there is a Summer special this year for $29. However, what you’d get in terms of course conditions in prior years for the higher rate is nowhere near what you are getting for $29.

The conditions have significantly deteriorated over the last 8-10 months. Many of the tee boxes are dirt and dead grass, fairways overall are decent, and the greens are a little thick and slow with some dead spots and weeds sprouting. Bunkers are decent as well, but many are more of a wet sand / dirt, many of the rakes are broken or missing so it’s difficult to even rake your bunker properly.

Overall, some of the conditions may be a result of the drought, but many other courses in the area are in better shape currently for similar price. Would I play it again this summer for $29, possibly; hopefully management can return this fun and challenging course to its glory before it’s too late.

This was my first time playing on this course and it was ok. Some of the greens had weeds and it was hard to put. The course overall is very challenging as it is and weeds need to be taking care of. For around $30 is about what I would pay for a course.

Such a shame. Layout and holes interesting. Quality of greens & fairways really poor to be honest. Don’t wanna beat the course up, but it needs a lot of loving care to bring it back to all day every day use. Really if it could be looked after the layout is interesting. Sorry guys!!

Played early this am. Course was super wet in so many areas. Fairways were bare in to many centre of fairways areas.

Greens - wow! Bare I. Places, uncut in areas and slow, next one super fast. Bumpy in a general poor condition, This is a shame as the actual layout is decent.

Only $17.

Cups haven’t been moved in many days. Incredibly worn down. Greens were yellow and slow. Very tightly cut. Fairways gave zero compression. Muff city with all the sand. Tee boxes were the same, soft sand under your feet, like hitting out of a bunker. Leaving the course after round, notices the sprinklers were in full force at almost 3pm. Watering in the hot sun at that time boils the greens. Like the management here. Nice peopl working at the course and clubhouse.

Course need serious TLC.

It was only $17.

*GPS was spot on for distances, especially to the position of the pin.

Wll check back in the fall.
