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.

Tight course

Greens were in good shape, not the fastest but not the slowest. Played on a Sunday morning in 2.5 hours.

Fast round

Greens are slow but in good condition. Lots of water but manageable. The range is in barely playable and range balls are not in good shape, At less than 40.00 dollars in the summer it was a good deal but would not pay more. Played in the afternoon and saw no one out there,

Best course in central Florida for the price.

White Heron is in great shape- from tee to green.

Very challenging first hole that almost begs ever “big hitter” Togo for the green. Nicely renovated. Well worth the money. Staff is super friendly and happy to help you with all your needs.

Excellent putting conditions!

So impressed! The green condition, smooth and well kept.

Most of the fairways are good too, some weeds is acceptable as now so much rain in Florida. Good value and will be back for sure!

Thank you for playing White Heron, being new greens, the Super is very cautious around the greens.

Everyday the course gets better and better, can't wait to see you again.

Really Good Course

Course has vastly improved over the past year since the re-opening from remodeling. It's in really good shape and a great layout. Staff was very friendly. Rates are very reasonable for this time of year. A good selection of tee boxes based on your ability level. Greens are rolling very well.

Very impressed with this course.

Came down for vacation and was looking for a course for me, my son and his girlfriend. Came across this course on GolfNow and gave it a try and I’m telling you. I was very impressed with every part of the process. The course was not hard to get to. We got through the guard gate very easily. The parking was very easy. The golf/pro shop looked as if it had recently been remolded. The staff was super nice. The course was in great shape from tee-box all the way through fairways to greens. For me, my son and his girlfriend who played college golf it was the perfect challenge course. If I had to find one thing to complain about it would be I would like to see them add ball wash stations along the course. But other than that it is a very nice course. If you want the real expensive course feel for a good value this is a course I would recommend. Oh one other thing…I really liked that there are no bag men jumping all over you for a tip. You park your car, go to pro shop pay your round get your cart key and load you own bag without having to keep tipping person after person. If you are the person that likes courses where you have to tip the bag man, and then the starter and all that mess then find a more expensive place to play. But, if you want a really nice course with a good small course attitude and relaxed feel, this is the one for you. I’m telling we had the best time playing here.

WAY BETTER THAN EXPECTED

Oh man, this was a great round. I went out early because of the weather and there was only one guy in front of me who I never saw. The staff were so courteous and professional. I tee'd off around 6:40am and finished 18 by 8:40am. First time ever, I did not even know this was possible. The course was in great shape the day I played and I wish I lived closer, I would go back every day if I could. Thank you so much to everyone at White Heron Golf Course.

Interesting first time

Very interesting course. First time here and lost alot of balls because we were not sure of where to hit. Thought we had made good shots, then got there and could not find them. Would play much different next time. Fun layout (once you learn it) Lots of doglegs and trouble in the driving lanes. Good condition and a positive surprise
