Rating N/A

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 tight course. When you drive into the parking lot the bring a golf cart to you !! Some of the greens were under repair . You need to hit the ball straight . A very challenging course.

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.

Thank you for playing White Heron Golf Course,

The course is in great shape for the time of year and price. The previous 20 reviews reflect that.

Hopefully you'll try us again in the future.

Thank you, WHGC

Great value

Great course for the money you pay. Drive in was beautiful. Tough layout. Some greens and fairways could have been a little better but for the price was much better than I anticipated. Staff very friendly

Very nice course with a lot of water. Greens ran true and fast. Fairways in good shape.. A must play if you’re up to the challenge. For the price a bang for your buck and well worth it.

Tough layout

First time playing this course. Here’s my impressions. Staff were friendly, carts were new with GPS. Don’t like the fact you have to pay for range balls it every course if different. Range was a bit scruffy. The course has a lot of water and it comes into play a lot. If you are not ok with tight landing spots this may not be for you. The price was what I would consider lower end for most of the courses in Orlando area at $69, so at that price we thought it was fair. The greens were a bit inconsistent but overall the greens and fairways were ok for the price. The biggest turn off for our group was the layout.

Windy weather

Do Not believe.....

Do not believe some bad reviews coming up here.

I play in white heron regularly. This golf course is great condition right now. The greens are well maintained and the speed is always constant. Fairways and tees are also good condition. The price in April is cheaper than other golf courses.

however, it it is a golf course that I really like except for the wind changes that affect the score.. And It is a very tough course.

This golf course would be a very bad one for those who just want to buy time and are looking for cheap prices ( sorry for hot dealers).

This is extremely my personal opinion, but I don't like Hot deals. I don't understand why most golf courses make Hot Deals. Booking at the regular price is the only way to evaluate the golf course, and how to evaluate it in terns of performance while playing golf at a lower price than others.
