Ron Jaworski's RiverWinds Golf & Tennis Club

RiverWinds is always a great choice when looking for a challenging and fun experience. Some rolling hills and long holes make it tough for shot selection, but if you play it all correctly, you can really post a solid score. Big greens yield a lot of 2 putts, sometimes even 3. Plenty of opportunities for birdies, but just as many for bogeys and more.

All the reviews talking about the terrible pace of play - 100% correct and I should have listened to them... My group got to the course 30 minutes early, and drove up to the practice area (just a net) to loosen up a little. The starter rushed us to get out to the first tee immediately, so we drove up to where we then had to wait behind 2 groups on the first tee.

Every hole we waited no less than 10 minutes, closer to 15 minutes a hole. The Marshall was actually very nice and spoke to the groups ahead of us that were holding everyone up after we complained... but wasn't really effective. I understand there's only so much they can do, so I didn't expect him to keep pushing them, but we eventually gave up after 16 because we were already coming up on 6 hours. Not exaggerating, 6 hours for 16 holes of golf... slowest, most unenjoyable round of golf I have ever played. The players in front of us were definitely slow, but when a course doesn't stick to their tee times and is more concerned about getting as many groups in as possible to make more money, you can expect 15+ minute wait at every tee box. Again, no exaggeration... on one hole, we waited probably closer to 20 minutes.

On top of all that, the bunkers were filled with water, some didn't even look like bunkers they looked like ponds. The geese loved it I'm sure, but good luck trying to find your ball if you go in. Even the bunkers that weren't filled with water, terrible shape.

Course has a lot of potential, some pretty cool hole designs, especially on the back 9... but you couldn't pay me to play here again.

You know I like Riverwinds, but the huge number of geese (honking every hole gets old) and goose droppings everywhere are major deterrents to having a pleasurable round of golf. We had these same type of conditions last November; this round was scheduled thinking conditions would be improved -- they were not. Ownership needs to visit this course and tone down the voicemail announcement ("... beautiful Riverwinds ...").

It was a great afternoon both with the weather and the course conditions.

I recommend this course to everyone

Course is usually in good shape. Greens are a little fuzzy but to be expected this time of year. For a course in the lower flatlands of new jersey, it has ample elevation changes and contour to keep any golfer who enjoys a reasonable challenge interested. I enjoy playing here any time I get a chance, especially when I can get a golf now discount. The biggest drawback of the course is its lack of amenities. Once you are on the course there is no opportunity for respit at the turn. Jaworski really does need to remedy that.

Not bad for January! The course was in good shape- greens were nice- and the turf was decent. Went out as a single and flew through it, with only a few other brave golfers behind me. The wind made it a bit more challenging, but it's rare to play this course without it.

This was the second time I have played RiverWinds and it was spectacular. The fairways were pristine and the greens were is amazing shape. The greens ran so well that putting was definitely a challenge. We ended up having perfect weather and it was a great day all around. I will definitely be returning to this course.

Course was in great condition. Pace of play was slow. 2.5 for front 9 holes.

1st time playing the course, was impressed with the conditions and lay-out. As typical with a public course, my only complaint is with the golfers who do not fix ball marks or fill divots. Since the weather was perfect without any wind, it probably played easier than usual. Will play again in the future!

This course is one of the better designed public courses in South Jersey. The course conditions are now at an all time best. The conditions couldn't be any better. The fairways are generous and the greens challenging. The view of the river is a nice treat. I played here when it first opened and a few times over the years. Nothing compares to what condition it is in today. I plan on making it part of my regular plays in 2017.

Lovely course, challenging in places, and in good condition. The wind was moderate on the day we played, but that definitely had a big effect on a few of the holes on the back nine, e.g. #10 par 5 which was incredible.... hit good drive and then 3 wood, but went maybe 70% of normal distance, struggled to par the hole. The "special" price was outrageous in my favor, the normal $45 cost would be totally fair for this course. Downside is that there are no after-golf facilities.

Ron (Jaws) Jaworski, former Philadelphia Eagle QB, has a very nice course in South Jersey. We really enjoyed the round. Fairways are like country club fairways. It's an interesting layout with the Delaware River and its tributaries surrounding a good bit of the property. The 17th "island green" was especially fun. It is fairly open making some errant shots salvageable but others could end up in the river. If it's a breezy day, you'll have to consider that before you pull a club out of your bag. The staff was friendly and I can't wait to come back, particularly if there's a good deal on GolfNow.

This is one of my favorite courses in the area. Although it has a different architec, I believe Tom Fazio's crew did the sculpting, the place has a great look and layout. This is a decently long and challenging track, but not too tough for the average Joe. That said, my scores tend to trend a bit higher here. This is a links style course appropriately named Riverwinds. Part of the course runs along the river, with some cool views of Philly and bridges, but it's still removed from houses etc so you get away from it all. One of the signature holes is the 17th, short downhill par 3 with an island green, cool views. All the holes have character and challenging greens that are tricky to read. This feels like a newer full sized tour stop, play it from the tips and you'll see what I mean. Badass! I love the place, great track!

The course is in excellent shape. Got to play a links course in a 30-35 mph wind. Very enjoyable day.

Needs a driving range to be a true golf experience.

3 hours to play 9 holes.

Holes 4 -8 had 3 groups waiting to tee off.

After 12 holes and 3:45 quit for the day.

Terrible experience.

Marshall's not doing their job.

Will never return

Staff was nice enough to add two friends to our tee time.

I felt the started talked down to us a little since it was a foursome of ladies.

Course was in pristine condition and greens were rolling nice.

Staff cleaning our clubs reminded us to show our scorecards. In the restaurant for an additional 10% off bill.

Great weather day for late October.

the staff was friendly. course was in excellent shape. would definitely return. thanks for a great time.

I play this course only about once a year. I love the course itself. It is in very nice shape. The constant problem is the pace of play. It is always slow slow slow. After nine I wanted to just walk off or kill myself. I did neither. (I didn't walk off because I wasn't at the clubhouse ) It happens every time here. To top it off I always get a slow group in front of me and big hitters behind. I couldn't wait till the round was over.

This was my second time playing this course. Conditions were very good considering this is late in the season and we've had very little rain late in the summer. As other reviewers have mentioned, I wish the greens were a little faster. Otherwise, fantastic place to play.
