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.

First time at white Heron

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.

Bad Condition

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

Course in bad shape

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

Poor course condition and slow pace

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.

Excellent value for money

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.

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
