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.

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

Nice course

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.

challenging course "windy"

course was in excellent condition considering the time of year..fairways thick no need to move ball..greens in great condition and pure..the back nine is along the river and windy..always take a windbreaker jacket in the golf bag just in case..it was warm but when we made the turn to the back 9 the wind picked up and had to put on jacket...no place to eat other than restaurant along the river away from the clubhouse/tennis courts (inside)..

Geese&dog droppings&fleas

This is a great golf course but there is an issue with geese and dog droppings everywhere. You can't lay a club on the ground in most places. The fleas on the back nine were unbearable. There were swarms everywhere so bad we did not finish the round. I love this golf course but I will not be back until they clean the place up.

River winds

Course conditions for January are fantastic, played in 3 hrs, and that was hitting extra balls , greens rolled exceptionally well for this time of year, and for 18 bucks on golf now , you can't beat that, it was as if I owned the course myself, only saw 2 other golfers all day behind me!!!

Great course. Too many geese

Beautiful course. Great condition. Fun, somewhat easy test. But way too much geese excrement. I mean, it was almost impossible to hit s ball and not have it land in some. The sand traps looked like mosaics. Upon closer inspection, it was geese tracks. Too much. But great track. For the money at least. I paid $25

Good close course near Philly

I played Riverwinds once before in a tournament and it stuck with me as a new favorite. For a December cold day and the first hot deal I ad seen on Golfnow at 18 bucks made the value that much better. 45 normally at this time of year, which still isn't all that bad. The course was in great shape. A bit wet due to some recent rain, but overall it played just fine. The layout of this course can play long from the white and blue tees, particularly with cold winter winds coming off the river makes for that much more of a challenge. The greens are sizable and fast. The breaks can be tough to judge and the course doesn't give it to you unless you hit the center of the cup. The bunkers played great, a few had standing water and were being fixed up but that didn't cause a problem. Definitely a course to take a cart, or else the walk will be pretty long. there are some good views of the river and city front, but it would be nice if more trees were removed to enhance those views and elevate the experience. I like this course a lot and will definitely be back for continued play. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

Shearon's River Winds

River Winds is a nice track, set in a large housing development where housing never intrudes. Traffic (except for ships on the river and planes into PHL) doesn't really cross your mind either. This is what you might think of as "links style" and wind swept. There are 4 solid par 3s and the island green shortie at 17 will be truly memorable once they commit to cleaning up the muddy green surround... low tide reveals a lot more than I need to see. The par 5s are likewise, well designed though they lack somewhat for drama without any real risk-reward propositions. The par 4s are generally strong and in several instance (5, 6, 9, 11, 16, and 18) truly memorable. A couple things could be done to sharpen this already challenging (73.8/135 from the tips) course: clean up 17 and let it be the beautiful hole it should be, take down more trees along the river's edge to make those riverside view amazing, get a range... maybe where the soccer fields exist, bring the putting green and short game area in to the clubhouse where we all wait to be sent out to the 1st tee. One other thought: the gap between gold tees at 5639 and white tees at 6576 is a bit daunting. I know there are 5 sets of tees but nothing around 6000-6100? Those are all tweaks and suggestions; not serious disappointments. For what you get, this is a great value and a very nice golf experience.

Great golf - even a better deal.

Arrived 45 minutes early and went right out.Golf attendant was very friendly as was the starter.
Played as a single in 3 hours hitting 2 balls.
First time playing the course was was amazed. If you like links style , you'll love this one.
Greens ran fast and true.1 tip for putting- walk completely around the green when reading it.
Didn't try the restaurant but the cart service fine was fine.
Just 2 small blemishes about this course. The Pro Shop/ Club house wasn't even close to the course- completely unattached to it . A few bunkers need a little more sand.
Overall - an outstanding place to play. Can't wait to play again...... might be tomorrow !!!!!!!

great layout ! fun to play!

Booked our tee time for Sept, 26, at 2:51< got right out to the first tee and the ranger immediately approached to let us know he had been instructed to inform us that we had to be off the course by 6:45, due to shorter daylight and a safe return to the club house.
This was a definite buzz kill ! I feel this should have been mentioned in the golf shop instead of at the first tee. However the staff did a great job moving every one around the course and we only missed one hole. for me the airport traffic was an noise issue . A must ride course for me due to a long way from the pro shop to the first tee. golf cart did not run well. A lot of negatives but had a great time playing and enjoying the condition of the course!

Enjoyable Golf Experience

From the well maintained tee boxes the course only gets better! Fairways are cut beautiful and the greens roll good. The greens were a bit soft and slow-but need to be with a course receiving a lot of play. Found this layout to my liking and will definitely return. I am a 8-9 hdcp and enjoyed playing from the blue tees. Go play--worth your time and money!

A nice course for your average outing

Not bad for $39 rate. Nice views and wildlife all over the course. The lay-out is a bit odd. Long drive to the first tee and a sign on No 8's fairway pointed our group in the wrong direction. Aside from that, a solid course with good conditioning.
