About

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.

Surprisingly Nice

I had not played here for a while.. The greens were in great shape. Fairways had seasonable brownout but were very playable. I have always liked the challenging but fair layout. Overall, I thought the course represented a good value.

Not my type of course

Start with the positive - greens rolled nice. Now the negatives - layout is brutal, water everywhere and no idea where to hit the ball. Grass was hard to find. Hardpan everywhere. Course was ugly and never again will we play ot.

Needs some work.

Not 1 bunker looked like it was raked for weeks. And huge piles of sand randomly throughout course. Greens were fantastic like always but that was about it. And we had it okay 10-18 then the front not to sure why

White Heron

Course was ok but very dry and thus almost hard pan when it comes to golf shots. Need to water course way more. For the hot deal of $42 it was ok but in the month of Jan thru Mar when prices are high it wouldn’t be worse it.

Challenging Day

The Course is making upgrades and the greens are still a little slow. Premium for accurate shots. Lots of sand and water. Be ready to lose a couple of balls. Like the layout. Pace of play was ridiculous. No course ranger seen at all and the back nine was crammed with golfers held up by a foursome of hackers. Watched a guy hit three shots equally bad each time….from the same spot. That’s not acceptable. Go to the range.

Like the layout. High risk and reward if you want it. Is okay again in a year once they are done with their big projects.

A work in progress

Great layout. Fairways are in great condition except where they are working on. Greens are good but there’s room for improvement as the ball doesn’t track true because of some bumpiness.

Beautiful Course. Lots of 🐊!

A beautiful course with tonnes of wildlife including lots of alligators and turtles. They are obviously doing a lot of work on the course so although I’d say the course is in very good condition there is a lot of GIR including sections of the greens. This in no way affected my enjoyment of the round and the course will be better for it soon!
