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.

If the price is right…

I wanna acknowledge the positive in this course that I’ve been playing for over 20 years. The layout is fantastic. A lot of fun and a lot of variety. There is a clear attempt to do as much as they possibly can with the greens which are OK. Like so much of Central Florida The lies are thin and sometimes bare. I would say that based on supplying demand this course is a legitimate $60 course and one would consider it a good value. When it gets over that I’m not playing it for anymore Than that. In fairness to the good folks at white Heron, I could see the same thing about a half a dozen other courses in the Orlando Kissimmee area. 60 bucks and under, and I can forgive a lot of conditions that I would otherwise feel resentful about if I had paid more than that. If you’re paying $90 to play this course, Highland reserve, Kings Ridge, legends, then it would be hard to justify the rough edges of the course.

5 hour plus round

Everything was great about the course that day except the pace of play. It took more than 5 hours to play that day and it was a beautiful sunny day. No excuse for the poor pace of play. Responsible foursomes should have been removed if they couldn't keep up with the group in front.

Needs More Improvement

Overall, this course cannot compete with other area courses unless they improve their surroundings. Lots of weeds, dry spots around greens & tee boxes, and beat up cart paths cause the overall experience to not be worth the higher price of green fees. Even with a Hot Deal from GolfNow, I would not play this course again for the price I paid. The layout is nice and challenging, but upkeep is falling down, especially if the course was just renovated 5 years ago.

Drive a little and get a lot

This course was further out from where I was staying than a couple other courses I played. One was $15 less and other was double. For the money this course is a good value. A lot of water, but the course is fair and on most holes easy to avoid. Will play again when in the area.

The first time we played here this year The course is always in great shape and no exceptions this time. Staff has always been top notch and bringing you a cart as you park is always a big plus! Front nine was smooth sailing but as we got to 10 had a pile up of 3 groups on the tee and back nine took 2 &1/2+ hrs to play.
