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.

Great Rate if you can wait!

Riverwinds is a fairly long and tough course. Their normal greens fee is way to expensive for the average golfer, however the Hot Deals are normally awesome.
Today there was lightning on the course and it got shut down. I was only on the seventh hole when my round was in effect cancelled. I feel that Golf Now should be made aware of this and I should have some portion of my greens fee credited back to my account.

difficult course for the casual player

Greens are all in great shape. Tee box on a couple holes banged up a little. most fairways in good shape but there are a few that have some bad spots. Overall its in pretty good shape. There are NO EASY HOLES. Pace of play on a Sunday morning was a little slow and the cost to play is a bit on the expensive side, but its a good course to give yourself a treat and a good challenge when playing well. Bring extra balls. rough is tuff and marsh lands and water are plentiful. Not a course for players that can not break 100.

Good Shape

Considering the weather this summer the course was in pretty good shape. Some fairways had small issues but greens were excellent. The course has some challenging holes and some that can help your score. Will play again.

Course was challenging and fair.

Because of rain the previous day course was still wet and cart path only rules in effect. Possibly there could have been a slight discount for the aforementioned conditions. While crews were working on sand traps there still needed sand replenishment and drainage in order to get course in better playing condition.

Very Challenging!

First I've played here in about 4/5 years. Last time I played the rough was ridiculous! If you were off the the short stuff by 4 feet you either lost your ball or wasted valuable time looking for it. They have made the course very playable by eliminating the tall stuff. I still found it very challenging to score well on this course...but then again, that's golf! My son and I are definitely going to put this course on our MUST play list.

Challenging course, needs a little attention

Overall, I really like this course. It's close to Philly, which drives up the prices, but it's challenging, a fun layout, good views and pretty long. I would return. When I played there was a lot of rain 2 days earlier. Many of the bunkers were just muddy and required some attention. This course takes a long time to play. I played Tuesday afternoon and waited a bit. I can't imagine a weekend premium time slot.

Nice course,fun to play.

Great golf course. Good condition and greens were nice to putt on. Sometimes you get distracted with planes taking off every minute but it also entertains you because the course backs up sometimes..

very surprising how nice it played

Played on an extremely hot day, staff kept coolers full and offered us the leftover ice! Very impressed and the course played really nice. Would play again when the odds of heat stroke are lower!

Like a potentially great step kid, just needs more attention.

Best public links course within 20 miles of Philadelphia. Interesting layout, lots a elevation changes, large playable fairways and greens. My only real issues lie with the lack of supervision for the droves of hackers that swarm this course like unsupervised step-children. There are more un repaired ball marks, foot print size divots then I've seen on any course this year. I understand the rain was heavy, but I also has to watch as a three group back-up was happen stance because 2 knuckle heads where hitting 3-4 miss-guided missles off every tee a few grouos ahead. I'm all for public golf, but Jaws could afford another $8 hour to keep a better eye on this otherwise great course and deal opposite the delaware of Philadelphia.

One of SJ's best

Always a favorite to play. Course is well maintained now that Jaworski has taken over. Course has dealt with this years crazy weather well, greens and fairways are in good shape, no big dead areas like a lot if the other area courses. Rough is exactly that, you don't want to be in it. Not extremely high but very thick.

A great course that is fun to play.

This was our first time to Riverwinds and it was a great course to play. You got what you saw. There were no big suprises and the greens were in very good shape, maybe a little slow but
that made it fun. The pace of play...we played on a Thursday, was excellent. We never had to wait and no one was pushing us. A great golf experience so close to a major metro area.

Fun course to play - nice finishing holes along the Delaware River.

Riverwinds is a fun course to play, fair with some challenging holes. Greens were a bit slow, likely due to the heavy rains in June, which also resulted in thick rough. The restaurant/bar is must visit after the round.

Very challening, interesting layout

This course has a lot of different kinds of holes, and the statement that you'll use every club in your bag is definitely accurate. Wide fairways and big greens make the course accessible, but the punishment for a mis-hit ball is severe.

The course does not drain well though, and the wide fairways make playing the course during "cart path only" a burden, so my recommendation would be to play when you know the weather has been nice for the past few days.

There were a LOT of ball marks on the greens, which is a shame for a course otherwise so well maintained.

Despite vast areas of empty space all around, there is no driving range. So make sure you hit some balls before you get there, or else that first drive can be intimidating with no warm up.

Well Kept

The course was in great shape and we had a phenomenal day for golf. However, the thing that always bothers me is that there is no area for food on the turn. I teed off at 7:21am and didn't see a cart girl until the 14th hole,
