About

Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 7290 yards
Slope 143
Rating 76.5

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.

This course was in excellent shape and played great. The bunkers were in excellent condition. Fairways and greens were outstanding. Many of the approaches are designed to be tight. All around it was very enjoyable day. But No beverage Cart

Thank you for playing White Heron Golf Club,

This course is a Championship course and one of the most challenging in Central Fl.

We still host Pro tours during the year and it is a great test of golf.

Thanks for all the kind words and we'll see you next time.

Great Find near Orlando

Loved this course. The layout is fantastic. Tough course with a lot of water and sand. Definitely not unreasonable though. Would love to play here again. Greens and fairways are in great shape. Some tee boxes need a little work but did not detract from our enjoyment. Just played Disneys Magnolia two days prior for $100 more. I liked White Heron far more. Great value for the price.

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.
