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.

White Heron interesting layout

Really well conditioned course. Clever use of bunkers and water, but very playable. Not a lot of elevation change but it's Florida! Definitely a good value especially if you catch a hot deal.

Easy to get to as well.

Change for the worse since last year

The course and facilities were in worse shape that last year. The on course men’s restroom did not have a toilet fixture, just a plugged hole in the floor. We had to wait for carts to become available before we could start our round

Just OK.

Ok course but amenities were poor. On course washrooms were close to unusable as 1 had no fixtures in it and 2 of the ladies toilets had broken seats.

Layout ok but...

Has potential but needs more staff.

Pace of play was poor on day I played with no sign of course ranger (we were held up and showing 25 minutes behind on cart GPS). We finished in the dark despite a start tee time just after 1.

Greens were quite firm and required more watering.

Some very large bunkers had no rake or just one in them. Nice carts but club cleaner had no water in it.

Nice course, greens were not great.

Decent course, fun layout. Greens were somewhere between punched and sanded and just punched. They just rolled funny. Very wobbly and tersely held any line. After the first 3 I didn’t even bother putting.

Definitely not a 100 dollar course!

A nice girl brought us the cart to the parking lot...BUT there was no water in the club washer and no sand in the sand bottle...bad.

As written in a review earlier, there is very little grass on the fairways and around the greens. The ball often lies on the bare earth...this is not acceptable on a $100 course.

There are tons of broken tees lying around on all the tee boxes. They should be collected by the staff...

The garbage baskets are all full to the brim with garbage. We played at 11am, it can't just be from that day...that's not acceptable on a $100 course.

The worst were the bathrooms on the first 9 holes. They could not be used and were in terrible condition. You can't do that on a $100 course....

My wife and I paid over $200 and were very disappointed...for $200 we expected more, sorry....
