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 stop

I definitely recommend if in the Disney Orlando area. Challenging course with water and sand trap hazards. Greens were aerated a month ago and really helped the greens . Great practice area's. Easy to get to off I-4 and Route27

Good outing except for pace of play

Have played White Heron many times in the past. Tough course, fairly well maintained. I had hoped that the aeration would be better healed after three weeks but it was not to be. Greens rough, slow, and didn't hold a good approach. Grass around the greens poor; fairway grass very thin; tee boxes were baked dirt. Pace of play exceeded 5 hours because people in front of us were playing two man scrambles and there was also a five-some in front of us. Called it in but no one came out to do anything--very poor customer service.

Thank you for playing White Heron Golf Club, we do not allow groups of 5 to play together during the peak hrs., also looking into this on the tee sheet there were no groups of 5 signed in, most likely they had a rider which made it look like 5.

We also make sure to address all calls about slow play, so I apologize if we missed this one.

Please try us again in the future and we will try harder to make your day go better.

Thank you, WHGC

greens very slow and had not been mowed in a while. Also they had something all over them I could never figure out. It was a cross between mushrooms and eggshells I have never seen anywhere before nor could I figure out what it was...

First time at the course.

I played with an out of town friend. We both enjoyed playing the course and said we would play it again in the future. Staff was friendly, carts were great. We enjoyed it!

great for the price

1st off, this time of year I seek out "hot deals, relatively close and rate the bang for the buck...under $25 is a really good deal, lees that $30 is still worth it...but not for a single digit hdcp, unless you are just going to practice, which is Also how I approach it...lack of rain all over is going to have these courses in poor shape and lots of burnout...if you hit 2 buckets at most any driving range, you are pretty close to paying the same for a round... if you expect more, it will be disappointing...Pace of Play was well worth it though I have to say I skipped a couple of holes..over all, conditions did Not warrant waiting for anything ...that's just me

Good time

Took my 4 year old grand son. They welcomed him. Course was virtually empty. Staff was very friendly. Greens are being worked on but even with that the course was a bargain. FYI we found the clubhouse pretty easily.
