White Heron Golf Club (formerly known as Ridgewood Lakes Golf Club) has had many accolades over its history and for good reason. The Ted McAnlis layout is sculptured from lush rolling land and features immaculate playing conditions year round. Water and natural wetlands come into play on 16 of our 18 holes and the resident breeze can significantly change the course from day to day. Yet despite the natural beauty and obvious pedigree of the layout, with four sets of tees the course is still enjoyable for golfers of all levels.

Unbelievable

I used to play in this summer. When I think about the time, I can't believe your current condition.

Probably a new course manager is here. Please Keep the current condition well.

In addition, it would be the best if the restaurant opened.

Can’t beat the value

We have been playing White Heron for a few years, and will keep coming back.

Glen in the shop is an absolute gentleman and professional.

Greens run true. Layout is great.

Carts have club cleaners, coolers, gps and padded seats.

For the value, there’s not a better course around.

Me Andy fister

With a little bit more effort

The whole golf day experience could have been better ie nobody at carts

Not much help in club house

Starter was ok

After game

Club refreshments shut

Just drop cart off anywhere

But generally enjoyed golf day out

Thank you for playing White Heron Golf Club, I'd be curious to know what time you played.

We take our customer service very seriously so when I hear we dropped the ball in a couple areas, I'd like to know why.

The Nest is open till 5:00 and we have cart service till 4:00

Please call the pro shop at 863-547-8800

Thanks for playing White Heron Golf Club.

Our mission is for everyone to have a good time, but we know sometimes the round can take a little longer based on players abilities. Pace of play is a double edge sword, but I'm glad we could help.
