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.

Golf trip

I was down with 3 buddies going a golf trip. We played 7 different courses during the week. Overall review was average with the cost per game a poor value versus the others courses. The greens were really good and rolling fast. The course layout is a bit quirky with a number of doglegs throughout! We ranked this course 6th out of our 7. Would not likely play again on our next trip! Positive was that they had the canteen cart out on the course as it was a hot day!

I love this course. It has a ton of water hazards. It's in great condition. The only negative are the new greens. They are still rock hard, so holding them is sometimes difficult. They are also bumpy since they were just laid 6 months ago.

Great layout and good not great condition but they are working hard.

Arrived 40 minutes prior to tee time and was meet at bag drop by attendant who took my bag and then meet me at my car with cart saving me the walk to the pro shop. When checking in I was told my tee time was not 10:32 (which was on my email reservation) but 11:32, when I showed pro shop person my email they seemed annoyed but called out to the starter and confirmed that I was here and told me to head out to first tee, it was now 10:10. When I got there starter got me with a twosome and we teed off about 10:50.

The course was in good shape fairways where fine rough a little tough not much grass but okay. Greens were very good, tees excellent. The ground crew was very busy and working hard on keeping the course in good condition. Water everywhere making the course challenging but fair. Despite the challenge I did not lose any balls but only because of luck, several came close to the water and were inside red line penalty area. Group in front lost quite a few adding to an already slow pace of play 4:45 minute round. The cart girl was very attentive and past by at least six times during our round, she was also very cordial and efficient.

I will play here again. A little pricey at $100.00 but thought it not terrible compared to other courses.

Brand new greens

They putt beautifully but they ate rock hard, frustrating landing the ball on front of the front of the green and it goes over the back. Fairways are pretty rough . Greens just need a little more time to mature. I would wait, before I played it again.

Making a Comeback

Played here in 2018 and had little good to say. They didn’t have a starter. Now they do and he was very pleasant and helpful. The greens were awful. The greens now after the rebuild, are terrific. Faster than Southern Dunes greens. Overall, White Heron is in good condition and fun to play. We will return before the end of February. Pace of play was surprisingly good. We finished in 4:25 and that included a delay at the turn as we ordered some hotdogs and they took a while.

It’s ok

They are in the midst of redoing the course. It looks like it will be nice when finished. Not worth the price however. At best it should be $60 with cart.
