About

Holes 18
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.

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.

First Time Playing

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

Thank you, WHGC

The first time there was a big group in front. Since it took us so long the manager gave us a round for free next week. Isn't that friendly!

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.

Thank you, White Heron Golf Club

Worst Green ever

Are you not doing green management? It is slow and firm. My free time with friends once a week is completely ruined. I don't think it would be worth $30 instead of $60.

Good Course - Firm Greens

Very firm greens on this course! I’m used to slightly softer greens, so some of my shots into them bounced out - the 18th hole especially.

Overall, I enjoyed this course and will likely play it again.

Thank you for playing White Heron Golf Club.

We work hard at presenting a top quality product while keeping the rates reasonable. The greens can vary depending on weather, this time of year with less rain, the greens will be a little firmer, but still manageable.

Can't wait to see you again and once again

Thank you, WHGC

Don’t waste your money!

This is a $30 course max. The fact that they are charging 80-90$ is ridiculous.

The pace of play is TERRIBLE! You get 3-4 teams backed up every time I come out here! The greens are not worth it all! We have come here multiple times thinking it might get better and it never does. The T master doesn’t leave his spot to actually make sure the pace of play is right.

Oh and the cart girl doesn’t even stop to ask if we need anything. She just drives by and stops at random holes to sit on her phone and wait for someone to come to her. I shouldn’t have to wave my arms around and beg for a drink. How about some dang customer service for what we pay?? Quit raising prices and raise your quality! The sad thing is the nicest thing is your carts.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!
