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 Disappointing

Was looking to playing White Heron, first time since change from Ridgewood Lakes.

What a let down, greens were awful slow and not true, fairways in poor condition and tees scrapy

They have ruined a good hole 18th , formely the 9th from a good par 5 into a nothing par 4

My advice would be do not waste your time or money playing White Heron

Craig

Course layout was great , but course was extremely scruffy and not cutting the greens ( which I understand due to temperature) was a problem putting and different grasses in some of the greens . Good value for money , starter was great , but very disappointed with the clubhouse facilities

I love the layout of the course

I really enjoyed the course layout. It had been a year since I had been there and had forgotten how nice this course was. It was in great condition even with the dry conditions. The staff was very friendly and eager to help or answer questions. Well worth the money.

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.

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.
