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.

Course condition

Four holes were cart path only due to the previous heavy rain and the greens had been hollow tined and sanded. I really enjoyed the layout and have booked another game for next week. The staff and Professional were were very welcoming and I really enjoyed my day and can’t wait to play again

No Water

It was 95° outside and there was no water or cart girl on the course. Having water coolers on the course would be a big help

Thank you for playing White Heron Golf Club.

We stopped having on course coolers after Covid, but we provide free ice and water plus coolers on every cart, also we have a fully stocked bar and restaurant at the turn.

Thank you, WHGC

Good value

They have just completed work on the greens so it needs some time to recover, ( much like most of the courses in the atea) the fairways had benefitted from the recent rain after a long dry spell. The price of the round reflected the fact that work was recently done which I think is fair! We will go back again later in the week to play again, hopefully after some more much needed rain! The course is a good test with some interesting holes & fantastic wildlife on show!

Challenging course in great condition.

The starter told us at the beginning of our round that this was a challenging course, and boy he wasn’t kidding. He recommended being a single digit handicap if you’re going to play the blue tees. We played the white tees and still posted high scores.

The course was in great condition though, no complaints about that. Surprisingly the course was really not busy - I’m guessing the heat is driving people away.

Enjoyable day here.

Got a great deal, course in good condition. Last played in Sept after a lot of rain so was great to have dry fairways. Greens were a good pace and true.

Below average

Tee boxes were good. Fairways were dried out can't help that with no rain. Greens were dry and fast. To many past cup spots to putt through. Lots of clover and weeds on the greens. Grouped up with a local couple Sam and Doreen was a pleasure to golf with them. Being from east coast Canada they welcomed me.

Thx Rick

Not worth the money

Had high hopes for this course based on the recent comments but was very disappointed. In my opinion this course should be $50 to play. Poor greens, poor areas around the greens, poor fairways and poor tee boxes. Generally don’t write many reviews but don’t let previous comments fool you.
