About

Holes 18
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.

Absolutely not, we do not allow groups of 5 or 6 to play until the end of the day when there is no one behind them. Some groups will have riders, but there has not been any pace of play delays. If you'd like to discuss this you can call the pro shop.

Worth the money

Played Monday morning. Course wasn't busy. Took us 4 1/2 h. Stuff was friendly. Layout is nice with wide fairways. Course is in OK shape. Greens are better than the fairways and the fairways are better than the tee boxes. But they really take care about the bunkers, which is pretty unusual to me down here. So thanks for that. Would go there again for that money.

Golf staff are friendly, course was not bad but bring your lunch

The staff at the golf club and on the course were nice, but there was no food or drink cart available. You have to call when you’re at the 8th hole—good luck getting an answer. When I finally reached someone on the 9th, I was told, “I have to put you on hold…”

There was no food to go, no prepared sandwiches, and the response from the kitchen staff was, “Just write a review on Google.” Wow—so here we are.

All the rest of the staff were really nice..

Bring your lunch if you want to eat something else .

tee time

About the only things we found we didn’t like was greens really needed some water, and don’t care for the change in the way we played the course going off the ninth first, we liked it better the other way. All in all we had a fun time, and enjoyed the couple we played with.

Amazing staff

The golf course plays tough. But, it’s in amazing condition Staff at The White Heron is one of the greatest groups of guys you’ll ever meet. Also , the food in the “ Nest” is delicious and extremely resumable.

Worst Experience Ever

The course conditions were terrible, the fairways had little grass, it felt that you were hitting dirt. One of the bogeys of my group turned off, I Think a $95 green fee is too much expensive for a course with that Poor conditions.

I'm not sure what course you played but it wasn't White Heron. Please if your leaving a review make sure it's honest. We have some of the best fairways and rough for a under 150.00 course in central fl, also we do not have a 95.00 greens fee.

A Good Value

White Heron is a fun course to play. Lots of risk/reward holes and strategically placed water hazards. The conditions are a bit rough as the course is a victim of the drought conditions and economics. For roughly 70 bucks in peak season I call it a good value and definitely will play again. I found the staff friendly from the pro shop, starter and bartender. GPS on the cart was helpful too.

Deteriorated significantly

Have played this course a lot and always enjoyed it. However fairways are now mediocre and greens are now very poor. So disappointed, could not really recommend it at present, hard to enjoy when the greens are so poor.Hopefully they manage to improve them.

Great layout. Greens need work. Got paired with a couple. He was VERY SLOW. Kept wishing for a Marshal to show up to speed him along. Never happened.
