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.

Very Pleasantly Surprised. GREAT CORSE !!!

YOU GOTTA PLAY IT !!!

Yes, there is water on practically every hole. However it only added to the character of the course. Can you loose a ball or three,, yes..

The course was in better shape than a lot of higher priced courses in the area. Greens were very consistent and quite fast compared to others in the area. T boxes all had grass, fairways were green, sand bunkers were nice and sandy ( I ought to know). I was in a few. Enough different T boxes to accommodate any age or skill level.

I'm a 11 handicap.

Club personnel were very friendly and accommodating. No, I'm not a plant for the course to give good reviews. I'm from North Carolina.

I will always play this course anytime I'm in the area.

Do yourself a favor - play it!

Golf trip

The best thing about this course was the greens were in great shape overall! Of the 6 courses we played this week, this course provided the least value for cost. Layout was ok but no real memorable holes. Still it was good to play golf this time of here, but group consensus was not worth the cost we paid yo pkay!

Water water everywhere!!

My gosh we lost a lot of balls! The course map is difficult to read and very small. We couldn’t tell if we were aiming for water or not till it was too late. Course knowledge would have helped.

9 holes

Nice course but didn’t realize until we got there that it is a nine hole course. Unfortunately the day we played it took over 5 hours to play around twice.

This course is trash

This course is way over priced for its current conditions. On the fairways there is barely any grass to hit off of, tons of weeds and spots on the greens. This course was the definition of a goat track. Was told they made this course nicer but doesn’t seem to of happened yet. $80+ for a round here is absurd, I feel like this should be a $40 course at the absolute most. Not worth the money at all. Also had metal tins in the cups, played golf my whole life and never seen such a thing. Odd.

Not quite worth the price

Lots of reviews are spot on. It’s a challenging course that will punish if you spray it around. The course conditions just were not on par with the other courses I played this week for equal or less money.

Young but Promising

First time I played this course since it reopened. Tees and Greens completely redone. A little young but you can tell this will be a great track once it gets a little more seasoning. Challenging layout but fair. Hope the owners keep up the good work.

Last year vs this year

Much improved , they have done lot of work there and it appears they are doing more. Pace of play which was better than last year which was terrible. Fairways were good as were the greens. Pro shop looked better but staff didn’t impress me. I would play it again but not at the price they are asking. It is worth $50/55 but would not pay more.

Amazing stuff. Great course. Great time.

This course is wonderful! Staff is friendly course layout is pretty fun. We were here with a bunch of guys and they were very accommodating to us, even though we had not so great weather, it was a great time. Pace of play was fantastic, even if the weather was not so good. When we’re back in the area we will definitely be back here. If you’re making a visit to the area make sure this is a destination that you stop at.

Excellent staff

The staff was great!! Had a lot of rain, came in to wait it out. Finished back 9 after. Team was flexible. Since the rain ruined our front 9 they let us go back out to play it again at the end. Not stuffy. Fun day
