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.

Pretty poor

Lots of obstacles on this course which would be fine and challenging if the course conditions themselves weren’t so bad. REALLY poorly maintained course. A lot more brown and dirt than anything green. Literal holes dug in the middle of the fairways which apparently haven’t been watered since whenever the last time it rained. Tee boxes were horrible. Struggled to push in a tee on most of them and all were simply hard dirt with some weeds growing out of them. Disappointed. Won’t play there again. Golf carts were nice. Everything else was garbage.

Played this track many times as Ridgewood Lakes....always fun. First time for "White Heron". Was somewhat disappointed, didn't like the changes to the new #18 formally #9.

Course was a little dry but greens were OK. Would play here again if price stays down around $50.00

Decent but needs some TLC

Booked this course last minute and got paired up with a friendly couple from Miami. As for the course the fairways need some work as well as the greens. The greens were very firm and almost impossible to get a ball to stop on them. The green were a little leafy is spots and every green had a light dusting of sand which made putting much harder. This course is a challenging course with narrow fairways on certain holes and lots of water hazards.

Changes to holes

The changes to the now hole 10 and now 18 have gimmicky effect on 10 and ruined a previous good risk reward par 5 18th turning it into a gimmicky par 4. The spent significant dollars to lessen the product quality in my opinion.

Firm greens

Nice pace of play here- 18 holes in 3 hours 40 minutes.

Greens were quite firm but rolled true- grain was a factor on these Bermuda greens.

Give yourself extra time before your tee time as clearing the gated security into the community can take some time.

Too Slow!

Pace of play was too slow - 9 holes in 2hrs 30min. and it only got slower. The staff was very accommodating and sent messages to carts and eventually the pro to tell a group to skip a hole and move on. Couldn’t enjoy or evaluate the course because of pace of play. The staff was accommodating the best they could. Off course amenities were nice.

Good course - but expensive!

We played this on a very windy day and it was quite difficult! I thought the layout was quite fun. You play through various styles of holes which keeps the round interesting. Expensive for what you get though. Consensus was that this was ranked 3rd or 4th out of four courses we played over the weekend.
