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 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.

New Name, better conditions

Have not played this course since it became White Heron and I’m glad I booked. Money has obviously been well spent as things are greatly improved. Tees and fairways are excellent and the greens are especially good - rolling fast and true. Some really nice holes with strategy important otherwise water will come into play!! Got lucky with the draw too as were paired with a couple of Canadians who were great company.

Very Good course for the price

Tee boxes, fairways excellent. The greens were very firm and sloped. Overall layout was fun to play. Yardage played was at 5,688. Prior knowledge of the course on certain holes is a benefit.

Fantastic course

Played this course today and was surprised at how good it was . For $55 it was the cheapest course we play while visiting Orlando and best course for condition , layout with greens to die for. The staff were very friendly and helpful . After the round we booked again for the day after and can’t wait.

White Heron

The course was in immaculate shape. The greens were perfect. Course knowledge would go a long way in knowing where or how far to hit your tee shots. This is on my A list of courses to play when I visit Florida.
