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.

Great improvements

Been almost two years since I have been back here and I was very impressed with all the improvements to the course and club house. This was my fifth course played this week and white heron without a doubt has the best greens. They were firm, healthy, fast and flawless. I like the new tee box angle on the first tee. I can’t wait to replay this Course.

Everyone who worked there were so friendly and personable . From the guys taking the bags from the vehicle , to the pro shop attendant to the cart girl (from Saint croix). I think her name was jascinta. We need more selection/variety from the beer cart though.

A lot of work has been done to the course since last year all the greens have been updated and are larger . A couple changes to par 4 and 5 s which made sense. Definetly be back. Speed of play was pretty good about 4 hours 15 minutes

White Heron #2

Not a great place to have your worst round in fact 2 other team mates had their worst round. 32 balls lost.

Other than that the course is making its way back. Great greens and challenging layout. Extremely friendly staff and best value in the area.

Remarkable

tip of the cap to management, they have brought the course back from the brink of no return. Last time I played here it cost me $10 and I felt robbed. A couple of greens need some work, but overall well worth playing. Great job people.

Some greens had patches on them but they did run fairly true. Good course for average golfer like myself fairly wide open fairways. Would recommend it

Best improved golf course in Florida

White Heron has improved drastically from the last time I’ve played it, greens run good and fast and the clubhouse up date is a huge upgrade. The design of the golf course is also good and it’s worth every penny

Great condition

The course improved its condition a lot since the last time I played. It became a little more pricy but it’s worth it. Staff is very kind and always greets me very well.

Fun

The course was nice and looking great but needs a year or two more to mature. Fairways were soft. Would definitely play again

Great course, but needs ball washers somewhere

Great course and conditions! Staff as always is excellent and I love that the beverage cart is now regular with a super friendly young lady serving...some places I've been, I see them maybe once and never again, but I see her at least 3 times a round so keep it up!

My only complaint is the lack of a ball washer anywhere. Would be nice every couple of holes or on the cart. There is plenty of ponds, but gators in most so I steer clear of them.

Definitely recommend though! Great improvements and they continue to work on things every time I go.

Very nice

We had a great round, course is in good shape. I’m assuming they have made a lot of changes, the score card does not match the holes. Several are much shorter and par is different . But only one green had issues, a few wet spots in the fairways. We enjoyed it and will definitely go back.

Fun Challenge

We were greeted by a friendly staff member before we had made it to the pro shop and after checking in, he had our cart set up for us. Just the beginning, the started was engaging and knowledgeable of the set up for the day and sent us on our way. The course is one hat must be thought out before each shot or you find yourself with a tough approach or lay up. Great greens and fairways. The tee boxes are good but have been used, considerably, the price of a good course. We will be back…

Value for money

First round of the year 2023. Booked with short notice second day og the year. Course layout is great and this will be a very good course in a few years. Greens on good shape mostly, there were a couple of greens that are still not 100% yet. All and all a good course and staff very friendly Would recommend this course and maybe I will play it again when it is up to 100% 😊 Thanks for a good day and great memories.

Best wishes from the snow in Iceland

White Heron a must

The course had a very interesting layout. Conditions of the tee boxes, fairways and greens very good. Some holes prior knowledge would be nice. Greens were hard and balls would roll off. Once you adapt not a problem. Greens were sloped and average speed.

Nice track for the location and money.

This was a nice golf course with amble fairways and large greens. Staff was friendly and helpful. Starter explained the course and suggested the tee to play. Good bang gif the buck.
