Reviews for White Heron Golf Club in Davenport, FL
The Staff was outstanding!!! The cart guy came up to us before we got to the club house wanting to take all our bags, we were... renting clubs today because we are on vacation. The guy behind the counter could not have been nicer! He even gave us some logoballs. Very friendly. The course was in better shape than the more expensive club we played yesterday. They even put water andice in the cart coolers. The starter gave some good advice for this course. Even seen a few gators while playing. I wish wouldhave played here both days!! Everyone in our group said it was outstanding. Thanks for a great round!! Read more
Amazing golf course! They have been working on the greens lately and seems like they did a really good job to design the green... better and make it as firm green. My favorite part is the interior of the club house. The mood changed so much and i love itbecause it is very luxury compare to other club houses. I would definitely come back here because they have great lay outs onthe course with good condition of grass. Read more
I live inside the development and once the course opens next week it will be in excellent condition. They hit a bump with... Covid-19, so closed but are reopening Nov 2022 with many improvements. Can not wait to play now that it has been redone. Read more
This review will be accurate and dependable. Almost 2 years ago a new owner came in and they started making wonderful changes... that were apparent right away, so much so that I actually gave them five stars. Around a year later they started to let it go. Iplayed there three more times in hopes it was just a bump in the road but it never recovered. I was forced to go there todaybecause someone else booked the tee time. No exaggeration that not* ONE* single green was playable. 95% grassless. Of that 95%it was dried crunchy dirt. Every ball you put would Bounce 7-8 times and sometimes ricochet offer crusty dirt patch. Anybody whoposted anything different than this is lying or they work there or there family members work there. Another golf told us it?sbeen like that for close to a year if not more and I believe it because I?ve heard that from others. The staff was friendly butI don?t golf to meet friendly employees. The lack of respect to charge people and not tell them what is going on with the courseis unacceptable. I suggest when people call or book they should tell them to look at the practice green which looks a littlebetter than the course and let them make their decision on whether or not to play and the price should only be $15 or $20 Read more
I?d like to give it 4 stars, but the greens are an issue. The cart was very comfortable. No GPS, but it did have USB. I didn?t... use any of the practice facilities, but from a drive by they looked ok at best. The staff were very nice. The tee boxes were ingood condition, but the tees were really moved up. Maybe as much as 200y. The fairways for the most part were in good shape,with the exception of (l think?) #7. It?s pictured. The bunkers were fine, except for the lack of care by other golfers. Toomany footprints and rakes left on the high-side of the bunkers. Then there?s the greens. About 8/18 are in need of major repair(pictured). With that all said. I LOVE the layout. Very interesting course. A couple quirky par 5?s that play really short. Butthere are no boring holes, and actually some are very challenging. I would most definitely like to play it again, but possiblyonly after they repair the greens. On a side note, l saw four gators. But they were all less than 4 ft. Read more
Course is well presented and in better condition than many others in the area. Lot of green sand on the Greens, but still... ok. Interesting layout with water coming into play on many holes. Certainly need to think your way round. Newish Electriccarts with upgraded seats. Read more
Was reluctant to try this course with limited Google map reviews..glad I did. Great course for serious golfers. Very challenging... layout with most holes requiring at least one well placed shot. Lots of water and bunkers and undulating greens. Tee boxes wereflat with sparse grass...but who cares. Golf is all about the greens and then the fairways in importance. Fairways wereexcellent with some nice fluff under the ball, only a few holes with extremely tight lies. Greens were in mostly great shape anda little on the slower side but fast enough for an enjoyable round. If your an average player or worse definitely play forwardtees. The white tees are at around 6400 yards on the card. If you don't hit a long ball be sure your irons are accurate. Coursehad some soggy spots even though we haven't had a lot of rain so I'm guessing it could get pretty wet if there was a good rain.I was mainly playing Southern Dunes but for the price I will definitely start playing here instead. It's definitely worthplaying. Nice carts and great Pro Shop staff. Every hole is beautiful with lots of wildlife. Read more
Very slow players. Even though course was not crowded, the clubhouse does not monitor slow players. 3 hrs 15 minutes to play 9... holes is too much for me. When I told the pro shop the guy said well I wish you would have called. "Well, I wished you wouldhave managed the course." Look for another course to play. Read more
