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.

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.

Value for the price

I found the cost to be high considering conditions’ Fairways were not yet grown in. Tees were spotty. Greens were grown in and smooth. Rough was ratty. Pace of play was slow. It took 4 hrs 45 minutes, and we were a twosome. The cart handled poorly, there was a grinding cracking noise in the steering column. No food available in bar.

a great experience

We were welcomed to the White Heron by friendly staff. The young lady who brought our cart, the super friendly helpful check in staff and the course starter all did a great job.

Wow! New course

Played in the past and always liked the layout but conditions were awful. Was hugely improved last year and is awesome this year. Don’t hit it too far off the tee: water lurks everywhere

One of the better courses of it's class in the area

Enjoyable round played. Pace of play was good. Course conditions were ok for this time of year. Greens rolled well. My only complaint was that the pro or person behind the desk wasn't around and when he did come around to wait on me, it seemed as if I was bothering him or interrupting him from something. Not to friends ly. Other then that I would play there again.

Fun course with a fair layout

I played 6 courses in this prices range during a recent trip to Orlando area and this was my favorite. Why? The layout from each tee box offered challenges without being unduly difficult. Bring a golf app if you have it to spot the few challenging narrow landing areas or water in front of the green.
