White Heron Golf Club
About
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.

10th Tee Box Photo submitted by chadone75 on 07/05/2015
Best for the Money in Davenport
I played this course 5 times in the last 2 weeks. I got tired of fighting the traffic, driving an hour each way to save $20. So glad I found White Heron. Challenging but good greens. Fairways a bit tough but overall, definitely worth playing.
5 hr Round
The course was fine, not immaculate, but better than a year ago. The corse was busy. Pace of play was very slow. The ranger could/should have gotten the pace moving.
Canadian player
What a great track..... Layout is really fun to play. Highly recommended.
Excellent greens
Clubhouse under renovation, but course is in great shape with fabulous greens
Enjoyable Golf!
Sure beats heading east and fighting traffic!
Greens in good shape but not easy / difficult pins!
Very fun though. Will play my 5th round in 2 weeks here tomorrow!
Fair for price
Some good improvements since it was Ridgewood Lakes. Greens are great now…course overall in good, not great shape. Was $75 usd which is too much for the course but reasonable when compared to other courses now…prices are ridiculous now in Central Florida for golf.
A so so course
We were a bit disappointed with the quality of the course, it needed to go watered at several places. The greens were well rolled and offered good speed.
Just a tad bit too expensive
I played at 2pm and there was no one else playing so that was amazing. I’m not a huge fan of houses being packed next to golf courses you can slice at any moment and hit a house. The greens were firm and fast some had weeds no difference really from rough and fairways. Overall I’d recommend if you don’t mind houses around you but for 90$ i expected better conditions for fairways and roughs and course layout.
Solid Course
Course’s condition was good and value is great compared area courses. Pace of play was great. Worth a play.
Golf Enjoyment
This is a challenging golf track so you may want to choose the shorter vs longer tee option. Water, sand, and doglegs galore. Fortunately, it forced me to play deliberately and challenged me rather than the usual- just letting it go. I learned a lot about myself here. Interesting features, superb course conditions, good staff and fast greens all led to an enjoyable day.
Too dry
Nice layout but needs some water and the greens were not approachable because so hard.
Terrible. No grass.
Stay away! I looked at other reviews. They must have been from 10 years ago. Terrible condition. I would say it was a “goat track” but the goats left because there was not enough grass. It was expensive relative to other options. Terrible value for the course condition.
Thank you for playing White Heron Golf Club, we apologize for any inconvenience you might have had with our staff. It is always our intentions to show golfers a great day and experience, with that being said we will be addressing the issue and once again, Thank you for playing White Heron
