Rating N/A

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.

Good course but needs a little TLC.

We really enjoyed playing White Heron, and the staff were friendly and super helpful. Course conditions were ok and I understand that it has been extremely dry this year, but there are a few rough areas on the course. Greens were decent and rolled well.

Great Course - Would Play Again

This course was in great condition and a good price given the time of year and course condition. I would absolutely play here again. Even though the then was short, the greens played fast and was challenging enough for my 2 handicap brother

Disappointed

Course itself was not in great shape. The pin placements had not been changed recently and there was damage to several cups. The tee boxes had not been mowed in some time and the fairways were bumpy. Probably would have enjoyed it more if it wasn’t so cold and windy.

Could be so much better

The good things about the course are the staff was very friendly and accommodating even let me tee off on number 10 so I would get around the course faster, interesting layout, a lot of unique holes unfortunately the bad things about the course outweigh the good ones I thought the course was in very poor condition of all the courses I played in Florida in the last month and a half this one has to be the worst condition course I’ve played bumpy lumpy fairways greens with different types of grass and sandy spots on them just overall not in good shape and I have to say I would not play this course again.

Good value

Fun to play every hole is different. Lots of water. You need to plan your shots accordingly

Due to very dry conditions course was not in great shape but we still enjoyed playing it. Every hole was a challenge.

Good and Bad

Drive into a very nice gated community, expecting the same level of golf course but not so much. Cart we had was not in good shape. Range balls were in horrible shape, driving range tee area was closed so had to hit balls in front of the tee. Pro shop looked like an afterthought. Greens had layer of green sand top dressed, not sure what that was about, but they didn’t roll too bad. Maintenance of tees wasn’t very good, fairways and bunkers maintained OK.
