White Heron Golf Club

Too many haters on golf now with bad reviews. All of Florida has seen not much rain this month. It’s going to be dry everywhere. There were only a few tee boxes that were brunt no big deal. Great value, grounds crew are welcoming and friendly. I will continue to come back!

Getting to the course was not difficult from Orlando. fairly easy drive. Finding the clubhouse was not well marked, I had to ask where the front door was. Do not expect a normal club house layout. the desk and cafe were side by side with no one around to help when I arrived. Maybe it's more fully staffed for the local members, but it does not resemble any type of club membership I would want to join. Although there ar many golf cart parking places for them.

The course design I would give a good plan: lots of water and bunkers throughout. Be smart on your tees and where you want your ball to land - I recommend using their GPS system in the cart to help plan. This was the best part about the course.

Tees and Fairways were burnt in many locations - basically hitting off dirt. Probably why they are installing some irrigation systems throughout the course - so be aware that you main up in their ditches. free drop for ground under repair, but you loose the run out of your drives. Fairways - could not tell if it was fairway of rough, it all looked the same. Either no grass or high enough to call rough, no matter where you were.

Greens: speed is unpredictable. Front is slow, and back is faster. Hard to know if it was user error or just the way they are. After 3-4 holes, you figure out that it is just the way they are. But now you are 7-8 holes trying to figure out that. They are also bumpy - similar to putting on the cover of a golf ball, not smooth. Again, adding to the metal challenge of how to putt.

Bunkers - do not expect them to be raked or smooth. Foot prints everywhere. Not sure golfers ahead of me understand to take responsibility to clean their marks for those coming after them. They do a decent job in the fairway with sand, but nothing for bunkers. Since there are several throughout the course, you will be in bunkers! They are very soft and powder like, plenty of sand under your ball.

I will mark this as played but not one I will return to.

I really like this course and I do recommend it. I love the fact that they turned the nines around.

Nice layout, things were a little dry but the grounds crew were working on fixing irrigation issues. The greens were quick and ran true. Well worthwhile, I will likely play again.

The course was in very poor condition guess due to lack of watering. The greens in bad shape. Tee boxes in poor condition and the sand traps were more dirt than sand

This course was in appalling condition, don't go there

The golf course was in bad shape. The fairways were almost down to dirt very few areas that had grass. The greens and the tee boxes were basically OK. no water on the course and no courtesy cart

With the course in it’s current condition the rates were too high

Course was extremely dry. Greens were totally unreceptive. Price was too high for such a dog track.

Very bad maintenance, dead grass all over the course, including the fairway. Green is in ok condition. Pace of play is very slow, no course Marshall in more than 5 hours play.

Great course layout, greens ran true if a little fast. Friendly helpful staff. We played this course last year and were keen to play again

Would thoroughly recommend.

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
