Ron Jaworski’s Riverwinds Golf & Tennis Club is situated along a scenic stretch of grassland between the banks of the Woodbury Creek and the deep harbor marina on the Delaware River. Its location gives it the feel of traditional seaside links courses found in Scotland and Ireland, which is further enforced by the sod-wall bunkers that lurk near the greens. The layout features plenty of water and incorporates the surrounding wetlands as well. One unique feature of the golf course is that the routing winds across a mile-long twisting burn, creating a visually interesting setting. Riverwinds begins with a gentle, mostly flat front nine but the mounding becomes more aggressive as you move onto the back. All of the holes face a different direction, which means you’ll most likely be using all the clubs in your bag to tackle the crosswinds and rugged terrain.

Course has great challenges

The course is in very good condition and it’s 6,500 yards from the white tees so it’s challenging for average players. It has black tees that stretches the yardage over 7.2K for those long hitters. So it’s setup for different types of players. They do a good job on trying to keep foursomes moving so you can complete your round in less than 4.5 hours.

Got ripped off

I was just trying to sneak 9 holes in before the long weekend. Was charged $40 for 9 holes at 6:30 on a weekday. When I said I don't think that charge is right, the young kid behind the counter did not know what to do. I've played 18 holes there for the same price. Secondly, he the starters, guys at the carts failed to mention that the entire course had been aerated. Teeboxes , fairways, greens. Besides that, it was the worst shape I've seen it in a few years. Unable to hit any putts as the greens were sandy and freshly aerated. Will not go back here the rest of the year.

Rebounding nicely

Course is always great. The greens are almost fully healed from aerating so when I go back next week I’m sure it will be back to one of the best public track shows close to center city

Pace of play disaster

Living in Philly this is an easy convenient course to get to. I have been coming here for a few years now. Seems like the same time every year the course just gets into bad shape and pace of play just gets worse. Tee boxes were bad from whites, decent from blues. Pace of play was about 5 hours and 10 minutes for a Sunday afternoon round. The starters and rangers were nice, but weren't really doing anything about it. Looked like a lot of first time players were out there, but not keeping pace. Fairways and rough were in good shape.

Still a challenging course, but pace of play tee boxes and greens need to be in better shape to warrant the higher price point. I will be back but hoping for better pace of play and greens to be in better shape.

Very Overpriced

The only thing that was great about this course was the staff. Everything else was very disappointing. It appears as though the ownership decided to cut out all the trees and long grass, making this course much much easier than advertised. There’s no way they’ve had the course re-rated since the modifications. It all just screams “greedy owner” and not someone who wants to create a great golf experience. Bottom line, the course wasn’t challenging, the greens were in terrible sale (whoever rolls them has no clue what they’re doing), there were clumps of dead grass clippings in the second cut everywhere.... all things that just don’t add up to one of the most expensive rounds in the area. Don’t waste your money.

I played this course the first month it opened it was amazing. It was a municipal course. They never took care of the course it was horrible fairways, greens, tee boxes. Ron Jaworski bought the course some years back. The walk to one of the tee boxes is dangerous. After the green you make a 180 and walk towards the tee box. Meanwhile the golfers on the hole you just finished are hitting their 2nd and they can’t see you or the green.

Great course right on the riverfront

I loved the layout of the course! It was really cool to be right across the river from the city. The views were wonderful. We ran into some rough weather conditions and the staff member that came out to tell us that the course was closing was not courteous. He went out of his way to verbally attack my friend. Now, he did realize his mistake and apologized but it left a sour taste for a little while. Aside from that, the remaining part of the experience was great.

Good Course, High End Price

I've been playing this course since it opened, about once a season. They have improved pace of play, bunkers are perfectly maintained, layout is good. Greens had a lot of divot damage, felt long and soft too. Ran true, but in my opinion they could use some sand to firm them up. Looks like they are preparing for the hot summer by keeping em soft. Played in a little over 4hrs with a 4some.

Nice Course

Played this course numerous times but not in the last 2 years. Changes on hole #1 and #9 have made the course easier. Once protected wet lands now playable surfaces. Still in good shape and can’t beat the views.

Almost made it....

We knew we were going to be working hard to get this round in but we faught our way through heavy rain at times as well as dodging lightning in the area. We made it to the 15th hole and the ranger told us to hold on finishing the round and give it 30 minutes to see what happens. What? We were shocked. 4 groups left on the course and they hold us up? After working all day to get the round in? We could have easily hustled the last 3 holes to complete the round. Stuffed by the course we carefully navigated all day to get it in. Very disappointed, no rain check or other offer to help us deal with 15 / 18 holes.

I haven't played the course in many years because I was a member at a private club. The only hole I remembered was 17 and in my opinion it's still a great hole.

The overall conditions were better than I expected. The tee boxes were good and the condition of the greens were better than good. I was actually surprised with the speed of them. (somewhat fast). My only suggestion is that Jaw's invests in some divot repair tools and the pro shop should give each player one and a quick lesson on how to repair their divots. We probably fixed 5 per hole.
