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.

Great course

I have played this course once a year for the last 20 years. I have seen it's ups and downs. Currently the course is in excellent shape. True, fast greens, fairways with good grass and soft sand traps. A true challenge for any golfer. Treat yourself with a round of golf at White Herron.

JOMIGO

Dry conditions and fairways, rough reflected it. Lots of water and quirky layout. Lots of unknowns for first time player. Overall the course needs increased maintenance. When checking in, very little concern or assistance; look after yourself!! Rather disappointed based on course description and amenities. Like several other courses I played, this (too) is overpriced.

Really good layout although like other Orlando courses at this time they are suffering from a lack of water. We enjoyed it so much we came back again. Was recommended by a few people and they were not wrong. Bit of a hidden gem. Fast tricky greens.

Nice course that is enjoyable to play

The team at White Heron are always very friendly and helpful. The course was in great shape on the day we played and you can see they continue to carry out work to improve it further. Highly recommended and good value for money.

A bit disappointed

For $100 we all expected better course conditions. Fairways were average. Greens were fine. Course was challenging for sure. Overall 3 stars.

Challenging but fun

I played White Heron for the first time in years. The course was in good shape and the greens were solid. The course is challenging with a lot of water but is a fun test. The owners have reversed the layout so what used to be number 10 is now number 1. That puts some challenging holes upfront but gives a breather on the back. All in all my group of 15 handicappers liked the experience.

Interesting layout

Check-in: Bag unloaded my car directly to the cart, then followed me to the parking lot with the cart. Gave directions to the pro shop, driving range and 1st and 10th tees. Pro shop process was smooth and efficient. All staff were friendly and smiling.

Starter: Told us right away that he was a few minutes behind and suggested we putt. As a first time guest, I asked for his advice. He said most of the hazards are on the sides with few forced carries. Concentrate on direction over distance.

We started about 10 minutes late. There was a twosome in front of us. It was just me and my wife and the starter sent us out as a twosome, which pleased my wife. I expect that we would have been paired as a foursome on a busier day.

Conditions: Firm and fast. Short grass on the fairways required hitting the ball first. Fat shots were penalized. Greens were firm. I learned to play for the front of the green to allow my approach shots to run out. Greens were fast enough that downhill putts challenged me to keep from rolling several feet past the hole. Starter guessed they were rolling at 10 or so.

Miscellaneous: GPS on the carts was VERY useful. Being able to identify distance to hazards and choose clubs accordingly saved a lot of lost balls.

Overall: Very enjoyable experience. Course values shotmaking over power. Six sets of tees accommodates most golfers. Possibly longer hitters may be frustrated because it takes driver away on several holes.
