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.

Nice course and layout. Greens were good for most part fairway’s were wet in spots but could still drive cart anywhere. Don’t expect to find it like the high end courses but good for hackers like me. Definitely recommend it and will play again

Old course but new

We used to play this course when it was under a different name and the nines were reversed. We liked it before and we still liked it now but it is in much better shape. We found it just a bit too pricey to play once a week but we will be back again before we head north(NJ) just play later in the day.

Good Value

White Heron is a decent course that will test your skills from white tees at 6200 yards. Water and bunkers come into play often. Signage of holes could be improved. The day I played the course switched front and back nines but didnt change the signage which caused confusion considering starter didnt advise of change. Overall good value at $55 with cart.

Great course outside of the high priced Orlando ones

This is a fun little course, great small z cozy clubhouse, one of the best lineup of demo clubs I have ever seen for a great price, very good irons, wedges, so much more than the normal old rentals. The pro is a great guy, not an expensive place, course winds ariund and can get tricky for sure., worth the trip down I-5 for a round

Great layout.

A very good day overall. The bag drop has a very friendly staff and the check in process was smooth. Nice driving range, short range and putting facilities.

The course is little challenging. I will play here again when in FLA

Nice course

Greens are in good shape but very firm. This is a very challenging golf course, could be tough for high handicappers. Played here several times and never really score very well. It’s tough but fair.

Ongoing investment on the course

The course has rebranded/changed its name and my car GPS and golf Garmin app hadn’t updated. That combined with road closures made it a challenge to find as the entrance to the resort it’s situated on that the GPS took us to was unmanned and we had to find another entrance.

There has been investment in the course and the greens were good. The course design was interesting with some tough holes due to narrow fairways and water. The course itself wasn't manicured but it didn’t impact the overall positive experience.

It represented decent value for money.

Play with a local

This course was a neat course to play it was in great shape but there are some tough shots and the score card doesn’t really help. We played with John a local guy he was awesome for trying to help us navigate the course. Would play again next time in Orlando area
