White Heron Golf Club

Great layout in fabulous condition. Course has lots of water and some tight fairways.shot management is very important. Plays tough in the wind.

Check-in: Bag unloaded my car directly to the cart, then followed me to the parking lot with the cart. Gave directions to the pro shop, driving range and 1st and 10th tees. Pro shop process was smooth and efficient. All staff were friendly and smiling.

Starter: Told us right away that he was a few minutes behind and suggested we putt. As a first time guest, I asked for his advice. He said most of the hazards are on the sides with few forced carries. Concentrate on direction over distance.

We started about 10 minutes late. There was a twosome in front of us. It was just me and my wife and the starter sent us out as a twosome, which pleased my wife. I expect that we would have been paired as a foursome on a busier day.

Conditions: Firm and fast. Short grass on the fairways required hitting the ball first. Fat shots were penalized. Greens were firm. I learned to play for the front of the green to allow my approach shots to run out. Greens were fast enough that downhill putts challenged me to keep from rolling several feet past the hole. Starter guessed they were rolling at 10 or so.

Miscellaneous: GPS on the carts was VERY useful. Being able to identify distance to hazards and choose clubs accordingly saved a lot of lost balls.

Overall: Very enjoyable experience. Course values shotmaking over power. Six sets of tees accommodates most golfers. Possibly longer hitters may be frustrated because it takes driver away on several holes.

Fun course, great layout. The course conditions were in very good shape. Would definitely play here again

I was skeptical in booking white heron today but we were pleased with the course and will make it a regular stop on our yearly Florida golf trip. Thank you

I wanna acknowledge the positive in this course that I’ve been playing for over 20 years. The layout is fantastic. A lot of fun and a lot of variety. There is a clear attempt to do as much as they possibly can with the greens which are OK. Like so much of Central Florida The lies are thin and sometimes bare. I would say that based on supplying demand this course is a legitimate $60 course and one would consider it a good value. When it gets over that I’m not playing it for anymore Than that. In fairness to the good folks at white Heron, I could see the same thing about a half a dozen other courses in the Orlando Kissimmee area. 60 bucks and under, and I can forgive a lot of conditions that I would otherwise feel resentful about if I had paid more than that. If you’re paying $90 to play this course, Highland reserve, Kings Ridge, legends, then it would be hard to justify the rough edges of the course.

Very cool features requiring you to play every club in your bag. Greens were in great condition. Wildlife was a bonus

Everything was great about the course that day except the pace of play. It took more than 5 hours to play that day and it was a beautiful sunny day. No excuse for the poor pace of play. Responsible foursomes should have been removed if they couldn't keep up with the group in front.

It was such a great as well as challenging experience.

Great layout great condition Greens nice speed and true roll.

Overall, this course cannot compete with other area courses unless they improve their surroundings. Lots of weeds, dry spots around greens & tee boxes, and beat up cart paths cause the overall experience to not be worth the higher price of green fees. Even with a Hot Deal from GolfNow, I would not play this course again for the price I paid. The layout is nice and challenging, but upkeep is falling down, especially if the course was just renovated 5 years ago.

Not enjoyable. Course in ok condition. Pace of play was terrible.
