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.

Great Upgrades

Significant improvements since we last played this course. The relaunch / rebrand was not simply a name change but upgrades and redesign in many of the on course facilities, challenges and of course layout. We really enjoyed ourselves and hope the improvements continue so that the full potential of the course can be realised. Would recommend to others and definitely play again.

Still a good place to play

White Heron (formerly known as Ridgewood Lakes) is a good test and is in decent condition. The greens were good, a little slow, but very true. And consistent.

Great course and very challenging

The golf pro (Glen) and the golf director are fully engaged in all aspects of the pace of play and the concerns of the players. They verified that the rules of the course was being enforced and followed. They kept up with the pace of play and they was also very courteous and kind when they approach golfers. I would definitely recommend this course to friends and fellow golfers to play. The day I play it was hot and steamy so you need to bring plenty of water because we're in that summer rain zone.

Hidden Gem!

It was my first time playing here. The tee boxes, the fairways, and the greens were in top shape. Pace was excellent for a 10 AM start time and the amenities along the way were just fine. The GPS on each cart adds ease to the game. I loved the course (water comes to play at every hole!) and will go back there.

This golf course has interesting challenges and is designed for all types of players and handicaps

This is a golf course with a nice design, with long holes, good greens, good staff, well-equipped carts, but it needs more amenities.

Great course

Everything about the course is amazing. The tea boxes are great. The fairways are wide and narrow and challenging. The greens today were slow but I have seen them when they've been fast. Overall a great course to play and the price is amazing

Good Round

Good round. Condition is ok. Fairways very good. Greens are slow. This course needs water stations on the course, there are none not even at the restrooms. The young gentleman taking care of the carts is awesome!

Very nice but challenging

Nice, very challenging course. It was in very good condition except for a single tee box. The greens were a tad long and a bit slow but some of the best I’ve played on this past year. The track was great. Holes were mixed with wide and narrow fairways. Lots of water, trees and strategically placed bunkers. The golf carts were exceptional. Near new with GPS and ball and club washers onboard. There’s a small pro shop and restaurant bar and a water and ice machine My biggest complaint was that the kitchen was not really open so don’t expect to get some thing to eat, except maybe premade sandwiches. Although I played poorly, I highly recommend this course and will return.

CONDITIONS

I play many of the course in central Florida and the fairway conditions at this course are amongst the best. Beautiful playing surfaces. Last time played I thought greens were a little bumpy but they were very good this last round. I look forward to playing there again. People in golf shop very good to do business with.
