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.

Fairways soft from heavy rains & irrigation, so not much roll. Greens firm and moderate speed. Typical White Heron conditions.

Enjoyed This Course

My wife and I played thie course. I had read the day before how challenging the course was. We are not great golfers, but we were able to enjoy the course. Fortunately we almost had the course to ourselves because it was 97 degrees that day.. But we will definitely play there again.

18 holes with 20 lakes

White Heron was a nice course with a very friendly staff. Nice to be escorted to starting hole 10. All the ice and water you could handle at the clubhouse. None on the course. No ball washer on the course. Several of the fairways were brown and all the holes were wet but there had been a lot of rain. 90 degree rule throughout and a couple cart path only. No problem there. Nice course overall and not very crowded on a Tuesday.

Tough long course

This was a tough ping course filled with water on almost every hole. You can lose a ball on every hole. But it is a beautiful course that could use a little more maintenance here and there but still beautiful. Challenging course with turns. Hole 10 and 1 are next to each other which is a little confusing but the play it great. Staff super friendly and helpful.

White Herron

The front nine was closed so we could only play the back nine which was disappointing. The back nine was in good shape.

Really quite good

The front nine was being aerated so we had to play the back nine twice but that was fine as the course was in excellent condition.
