Ron Jaworski's RiverWinds Golf & Tennis Club
About
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.

emergency prevented play
unfortunately I did not get to play as I had to attend to a patient who went into labor. It makes me gun shy about using golfnow in the future as I lost money by paying in advance and could not play.
Course looks great, very slow pace.
I really enjoyed my round the course was in very good shape and it's a challenging yet fun course to play. It offers a nice variety of holes which is great. The pace of play was terrible though. The course was over-booked and we waited to tee off for nearly a half an hour on the 5th hole. The round took nearly 6 hours to play which is way too long but it was a Saturday afternoon and I didn't have anywher to go so it was alright.
Good Value
Course is well priced for what you get. Pace of play wasn't great but cart path only rules were definitely a large factor. Course is well maintained given the price. Greens and fairways are well groomed but some bunkers and areas of the rough need attention.
Don't believe the course distances on the scorecard. Definitely plays about 300-500 yards shorter than advertised. Course is wide open but the rough can be punishing depending on when you play.
I'd definitely go back.
very enjoyable course
Quite enjoyable course. Varying terrain from hole to hole maintains interest throughout. Very scenic surroundings. My second time here this season and I'm sure I'll be back in June. Only shortfall is lack of amenities once on course. I only spotted one port a potty for 18 holes with no access back to clubhouse. Cart girl came around often enough but was dissapointed grill at 9 was not open. Would have been nice to know in advance. These are minor when compared to enjoyment of course especially 17 semi island par 3 and the super elevated par 18 which this double bogey golfer cannot resist teeing off from the blacks.
Great veiws of Philadelphia sky line, wide green fairways
Top course in Philly area. A must play. Beautiful golf couse.
Great value with "golf now" Hot Deal
Course has wide fairways but heavy rough
conditions were superior
fast & smooth greens
nice challenge at 6576 yds from white tees
Great & challenging layout. Well maintained.
Great course for the money we paid. I don't think it's a $79 dollar course at full price. My group was disappointed with the lack of rangers to control slow play. Our round was over 5 hours. The gentlemen who greeted us was very unfriendly and a bit harsh. The starter made up for that as he was very friendly and helpful.
course hard against the Delaware makes for some good scenery
well maintained. great variety of holes. some easy scoring holes mixed some some challenging holes. overall a fun course to play with some nice views along the Delaware River. 17th hole is short but very challenging.
Good course, good price
The course was in great shape. Tee boxes were clear and greens were well maintained. The pace of play was incredible slow, and there was one marshall out, but he seemed to do nothing to speed things up.
Loved the holes by the river. Overall, a nice Links style course.
Would recommend. Pace of play was not an issue as tee times were adequately spread out. Played on a Sunday afternoon and did not have to wait at all. Group behind was not pushing us either. Great bang for the buck.
best course in sj
Favorite course in South Jersey. Challenging and unique holes. Beautiful landscape, well manicured.
Its a great lay out
The course was covered in duck poo The whole course was like that. I've never seen so much on a golf course like that. It was horrible everywhere you stepped you were in it. There should have been a refund.
the course changes as you go around - with the open wind conditions.
I love this course - it being a link style course - flat in most parts and windy when you get by the river. Some of the best holes you will find in South Jersey. Jaws has really helped put this course together.
Super place to play
Very nice course with that country club feel. Had a very good time playing with nobody else around. Was surprised that I never knew about this place.
Love this course
Great course, still in pretty good shape save some water areas roped off on some fairways, but there are a handful of challenging holes. Greens are nice and soft.
I like this course
I'm from this area and have played RiverWinds about 20 times in the past 10 years.
It definitely has some downsides in terms of the practice facilities, but the course itself is always in very solid condition and the views are great along on the Delaware River.
The pace of play can be an issue considering its one of the more popular courses in South Jersey that's also accessible to Philadelphians, but I still think this course is worth playing once to make up your own mind.
Surrounded by a wildlife refuge, this course provides a variety of challenging holes and is always fun to play.
Riverwinds has always been a fun course but there have been numerous improvements since it was acquired by Ron Jaworski. The course has been opened up (foliage tight to the fairways cut back) to be a little less penal on some holes. A putting green has been built near the first tee (previously had nothing) and course maintenance appears to have improved significantly. The starters are very efficient in getting a substantial number of golfers onto the course efficiently. This is one of the very best public courses in the Philadelphia area.
Great challenging course.
The staff does not really seem to be friendly at all in my few experiences. The course is well maintained and does play long so can be quite the challenge.
