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.

too many people

this golf course send out too many people, causing always delay.

they never press green, too slow, too many bumps.

excellent view, particularly, last 5-6 holes of back nine.

if they reduce number of players, take care of greens, it will become one of the best course in south jersey.

Excellent Service

The course was in great condition on a very hot day. What was exceptional was the service there. The starter was very helpful since we had not played there in over a year. Then, one of the course managers kept checking on the pace of the play to keep things moving along. The pace clocks on holes are helpful.

played the Achitects the day before. Greens here were very slow in comparison. Course in very good shape. Scenic final 3 holes if you like looking at Philadelphia.

Overall good course

Was a nice course with some challenging holes. Overall course was in good condition and staff was very freindly and had knowledge of course layout. Wasn't overpriced and would definitely play again for the money

Some Great Views

I played several years ago, and feel like they have made some of the views on the course much better. There were some great shots of the skyline and the river.

Greens were in good shape, but didn't roll too fast. fairways were in good shape - maybe over watered as they were pretty wet when we first went out.

Pace was the major issue - although there were many rangers out there and kept asking how things were, there was really nothing they could do as there were so many groups backed up in front. It was almost a 5 hour round on a Friday morning. There was some wind, but the course isn't that difficult for people to be out there that long....

Wait wait wait

Get ready for a at least a 4 1/2 hour round to 5 hour round. Slow play they overbook and only set tee times a short time apart so you are always waiting on each hole and have someone behind you waiting. The carts are terrible for the price you pay they should be brand new. Several times seen golfers broken down in carts or with flat tires. Cart paths are not all paved so bring your dusk mask and back brace because they are covered with broken shells and have undulations all over. They have two holes roped off for no reason which makes play even slower and you need to walk over very wide fairways should you hit it to the left. Very dangerous 1 mile drive from makeshift club house at a tennis center to first tee. Witnessed head on collisions because of their lack of safety regarding carts leaving for first tee. And you have to cross a road with on coming traffic to get to first hole with no warning signs to let you know it. I do not know how sanitary the food is at the turn but that grill is left out all the time so I am pretty sure rodents get in there. No bathrooms on the course just two overloaded porta potties. Sand bunkers are not filled properly with sand. The rough is almost unplayable it is thick and long even after cutting. You would think for what they are charging you would have cart paths, good carts, sand in the bunkers, a place to go to the bathroom, timely play, more playable rough, and a safe environment. Also, the water in the ball cleaners smells. Don't know how sanitary the drinking water is as not sure how often they clean out and sanitize the water dispensers. Also lots of bugs. Top management has a lot of work to do other than just counting their money. They should get to work correcting these shortcomings.

Riverwalk

Jaworski has done a great job turning this course around. Everything is in decent shape. The greens need to be rolled so are strangely slow and spongy, but everything else about the course is too quality. It's a bit long for some with the white tees playing over 6500 yards, but I especially like it because there is s lot of risk/reward course management you need to think through. Views of the river and the city of Philadelphia I the distance are great. Practice facilities are still non-existent and the starter got us off about 10 minutes late despite it being a Thursday afternoon. The restaurant is 5 star quality. I'd play here again.

Fun Round!

We played early enough in the morning where there wasn't a crowd. They get a TON of play so it's important to find a good time where it won't be too crowded. I actually stopped playing here for a while because rounds used to be really long.

Wished the greens rolled faster but other than that the course was in great shape. We didn't have anyone in front or behind pushing our group and finished the round on time. Very enjoyable.

Fun Course to Play

Although it plays long from the white tees with some forced carries, it is still a fun course to play. The course is well groomed, the fairways are generous and the greens are smooth albeit a bit on the slow side. The signature hole #17 is a extreme downhill par 3 to a semi island green in cove off the Delaware river. In wet conditions it will be "Cart Paths Only" for most, if not all the course.

Slow greens; slow play

Greens were painfully slow as was the 5+ hour round

Fairways looked nice but we're spongy so not much roll

There was no place to get a sandwich when we started and we were told there was food at the halfway house - it was closed when we got there

Not a great experience

lacking on course staff

I really like the golf course and mostly the staff is always courteous and friendly. On this day there was no starter on the first tee and we didn't see any staff out on the course until he drove up behind us while I was on the tee preparing to hit when he could have lagged back. This wasn't the courses fault, but we played with a single who teed up on the black tees and he was way overmatched. If he didn't lose at least a dozen balls I'd be surprised. Barely made the fairway on some holes and couldn't reach some of the par 3 holes. It was not my place to say anything to him and I throw this back to course management a little.

This is a difficult course for me. It is well maintained for the most part. You get some nice views of the Philadelphia skyline and the fun 17th hole literally on Delaware River.

Barely worth the money

No practice facility, pace of play is longer than average, and the rough was very thick with all of the dead grass clippings clumped on top. Very glad I didnt pay full price of $75. Definitely not worth it. Lost my putter cover on the first hole but group behind us was nice enough to give it to the Ranger. After going to the pro shop and waiting 15 minutes for staff to retrieve it, they couldnt find it anymore. Very disappointing.

Big and bumpy

The course layout is awesome...until your on the green. The greens needed to be rolled. Very bumpy it was just like playing on aerated greens. Our foursome was very disappointed about the greens. But still was a wonderful time to be out golfing

Overall opinion of the course is excellent. The only drawback was the beverage cart who never stopped to ask if our group wanted anything. Seemed that person just road the cart paths.

Great layout, great shape

Love this place! 13-18 are really great holes. Greens were in amazing shape for March, slower but rolled true with no bumps. Met Jaws on the 18th green which was a nice way to finish up. Highly recommend this place. If you're not below a 10 handicap I don't recommend moving back past the white tees. Long hitters and low handicap guys, the black tees are awesome!

Good course layout, great river views.

This course was in very good shape considering it was early in the season. Temps about 60 and windy.

Would say this is great course for fair to good players. May not be perfect for seniors due to walking distances from carts paths to several of the greens.

No two holes alike, Plays 6500 from the whites.
