Ron Jaworski's RiverWinds Golf & Tennis Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

A Decent Course
There are a number of interesting holes on this course.
A suggestion: Some of the holes are a bit too long from the seniors tee....such ase 360+ yards for a par 4.
Lil Weathered
The T Boxes were quite beat Up … Especially for February ??
Have know idea why ??? Goose Sh!+ All Over the Place …
(Annoying) … We were on 1st Green and Group Behind us were yelling at us like we were holding them up ??? We had 1 Birdie 2 Pars & a Bogey !!! They Proceeded to Skip 2nd hole and Jump in front of us ??? CRAZY ?? That had us Lil Frazzeled … Joe & Pat at the Bags were FANTASTIC … Super Nice Guys !!! For the $$$ was disappointed .. Probably Won’t Return !!
Great golf course
golf course is amazing, excellent staff, love it so much can't wait to go back again
Great view of the Philadelphia skyline!!
Course was is great shape - staff is friendly and helpful!! Carts are a little worn. Halfway house was closed( They grill an awesome burger at the turn - definitely get one) Ranger handed out water was an awesome addition.
Nice course, but few amenities
Great condition, beautiful course for fall. However, no driving range, no on-course snack shack/ permanent bathrooms/beverage cart for $100 on a non-holiday Monday morning is kind of ridiculous. Probably my last time playing for that price going forward.
Beautiful course!
I loved RiverWinds! Beautiful course. Fun layout. Very long course even from the White/Green which were together. Several par 4's were 430 and up. Greens were in perfect condition - lightning fast with a ton of break. Traps were in excellent condition. The views of the river are spectacular. Staff working the carts was less than friendly. Not helpful at all. Didn't tell us anything about where to pick up our cart and how to get to the first tee - which is a long drive away.
Jersey Golf?
I tried to treat myself to this golf course today. However, I was greeted with mediocrity. The bag attendant was rude. I was a single, but was not allowed to join 3somes of regulars. I was also not allowed to go to the practice putting green until right before my tee time. The greens were aerated btw, but nobody mentioned that. The proshop staff and starter were great. The course was in decent condition considering and had some great holes and views. Being from Vegas area, it was interesting that there was no option for drinks before 930am, and there are no coolers on carts and outside drinks are frowned upon. I ended the round with an employee off of the 18th green screaming profanities to another employee with no regard to the golfers. I would play the course again, but I will ask ahead of time who the staff is and I will make my tee time a little later.
Nice Course! - Would Recommend
Nice course! Unfortunately was only able to play 9, so did not get to play the island green on the 17th which was a bummer. But course conditions were nice. Also, the gentleman at bag drop was very friendly and even cleaned our clubs upon returning from our round! Great place, can’t wait to get there for a full round!
Very nice public course - a little beat up by play
First time playing Riverwinds and it was a good round. I was looking for a local course to play and this almost links-style course didn’t disappoint. The staff are very good, knowledgeable and courteous. With the recent heatwave the course itself was in better shape than I expected. That said the greens were showing the wear and tear of a tough season. For whatever reason it seems like golfers here are lax at repairing their divots. Which is a shame. All in all I had a good experience and hope to return soon.
Great Course Just Needs a Driving Range
One of the nicest courses in the Philly area close to the city. The course would be even better if they built a driving range and short range. There is a ton of land to do so and would really upgrade the facilities at the course.
Golf with a view
The course is challenging but fun! We only played 12 holes as a storm came rolling in.
We enjoyed it very much!

And what a GREAT clubhouse to sit in after the round! It's called get in your car and leave. I can't believe they have the balls to charge basically the same rate as Bethpage Black. Jaworski is delirious if he thinks his courses will survive at those rates.
