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.

Fun to play

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.

Great Hot Deal, Great Weather

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.

Always Slow

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.

Great views of Philly and Delaware river

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.

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.

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.
