Ron Jaworski's Valleybrook Golf Club is one of South Jersey's most popular public courses. It's a local favorite not only because of the affordable rates but also for the challenging design. The diverse terrain provides the classic layout with a mix of flat and hilly holes. On some holes you can expect elevation changes from tee to green. It's a golf course that will keep you on your toes. It will test your accuracy with its narrow, tree-lined fairways and the elevation changes throughout the course make proper club selection essential. Water hazards also appear on nine occasions. The course has appeal for players of all skill levels. It's player-friendly enough for beginners while advanced players will enjoy the many risk-reward opportunities. There is also a driving range available at Valleybrook Golf Club.

A decent local municipal

Valleybrook is a decent municipal course. The conditions have been pretty good lately. The bunkers tend to be hard packed and would really benefit from some fresh sand. The fairways and greens have been in good condition compared to other local courses lately. The course gets a little boring in the middle. There is a stretch of near identical par 4s that just go up and down the same hill and play nearly identical. This place has a decent driving range and practice areas. Its a course I regularly play when I'm going for a solo day and wanna knock out a quick 18. Club house is nice, they host a lot of events.

If I could say one thing about VB and the Jaworski courses its that I hate calling them and listening the Ron Jaworskis automated recording that makes it take 5 minutes for me to speak to an actual person. Pipe down Ron, no one does marketing by phone, its all done on the website now.

Enjoyable due to variety of holes/elevation changes

Nice practice area, which was useful to shake off rust. Very fun course to play, lot of variety in the layout, elevation change. The day we played you could only play from the very front tees, which made the course short. But this was offset by very high winds, so it was still challenging. Would like to play again under more 'normal' conditions. Greens were smooth and fast, fun to putt on. Considering the time of year, very good, glad we came here (first time). Some bare patches here and there, expected due to being winter.

Great yardage markers

I haven't played this course in at least 6 years. What a pleasant surprise with the conditions at this time of year. The best part of the course was the center of fairways yardage marker sticks. I haven't seen this in any other course that I've played in South Jersey. It really sped up my club selection and playing time. Absolutely fantastic !! I've been complaining about yardage markers at other courses for years, considering the markers are cheap and a one time expense. Enjoyed the wide open layout and the conditions were very good for this time of year, including the greens. Great value. Very impressed with the painted marker lines on the asphalt cart path also. Kudos to the " yardage marker " person !

Great shape

Despite it being February, course was in very good shape. Pace of play was very, very slow, in part because foursomes were taking two and three mulligans and were inconsiderate of players around them. Not the course's fault, except maybe they could have had a marshal drive around. Can't blame the course for rude players.

Pleasantly surprised with Valleybrook

We played on January 18, 2017. We were very pleasantly surprised with the course conditions. Overall, conditions were good and most surprisingly the greens were quick and true. Very good shape for the middle of January in the Northeast. We were just a twosome with a cart and played 18 in about 2.5 hours.

6 hour rounds

This course consistently over books teetimes making for six hour rounds for any golfer looking to play. Every time I have come out they blame it on a computer system or some other flaw and have no rangers to enforce pace of play. The layout of the course is nice however it's not worth the 6 to 7 hour round. I will absolutely not be returning it will not recommend this course anyone.

Value for the Price

I've played Valleybrook several times in the past and been very dissatisfied. I went back for the first time in a few years because I got a $15 Hot Deal through GolfNow and I was pleasantly surprised. The course layout is nothing spectacular, but it's generally solid. Not overly challenging, but not incredibly easy either. For November golf in Jersey the course was very green - no burn outs on any of the greens that I noticed, but they were extremely firm & fast. Most greens could not hold an approach shot, so best to Club down a bit and run your shots up instead of trying to stick it. I will definitely be back again.

Typical Public Course

There's nothing flashy about Valleybrook but it's a good, affordable option for weekend golf. Paid $40 for 18 with a cart on Saturday morning. Play was very slow (5 hours) but they had an outing that morning so I guess it's to be expected. Conditions were ok but there were some bare spots around the greens that made short game play tough.

very poor condition

poorly organized facility. there was no starter, and no carts available. we had to wait 20 minutes for a cart. course was in horrible condition, if not for the crab grass we would have been playing on dirt and mud. the greens were slow but at least they were bumpy. could not pay me to play here again. expected much more from a Jaworski course.

Course in very poor shape

I received a gift card to play Valleybrook so I called and booked a time to play this AM. Well not a good decision for a few reasons. I poured rain for 2 hours so the course was very wet. I was not warned of the condition of the course when I booked the time. The course was aerated and sand covered the greens. What a mess. I play a lot of great golf courses and I realized that not every public course is equal but this course is a terrible design! Ron Jaworski has some nice courses that I have played but I will never return to Valleybrook even if I get to play for free. The beer and lunch afterward that we paid for was good and the staff very nice.

Tougher than I remember

Course is challenging with tight drives, uneven lies and tricky greens. Par 3s average over 200 yds, two requiring 3w from tee.

Of all Ron's courses, I've played this the most. It's a great challenge for the average golfer, with a couple of forgiving holes.

always a fun course to play.

good condition, great day..this course is not extremely challenging due to wider fairways...greens are in excellent condition and true to the eye...staff are very friendly and the bar has good food and spirits..we got a "hot deal" and paid less than the std rate..we think the going rate for this course is high...they do offer discounts to seniors...good driving range, and putting area..chipping area and sand is small...always heavy play at this course..it is hard to squeeze in 9 holes...ruff is high..but always a fun course to play...

Extremely Poorly Managed

We arrive for our 10:00am tee time and there are at least ten groups lined up on the first tee box waiting to tee off. No explanations. No apologies. "We have your money and now we don't really care if you enjoy your golfing experience with us."

Well, we figure, no problem - once everyone tees off provided the pace of play is decent, you're waiting on the first but not the rest. WRONG! We waited on EVERY hole until we finally quit on 11 after four-plus hours. EVERY hole. Not a ranger in sight.

Also, the next nickel that Ron Jaworski puts into one of "his" courses will be his first. They do the bare minimum in terms of maintenance.

Since this time, we've never gone back to a Jaworski-managed course. (The date of this round was actually July 4, 2015, but the website won't let me post that date.)

Guarantted 5.5+ hr round on the weekends

I've played this course countless times over the years. However, over the last two years I have only played it twice, with the most recent being yesterday. If you can only play on the weekends then you need to tee off on this course before 9am. Anything after that and you're locking yourself in for a 5.5+ hr round as the pace of play is super slow. It's a decent course with some challenging holes and the price is just right which is why the course is always crowded.

The conditions of the course and the staff are always on point, but as an avid golfer I just can't bring myself to play a round that takes that long. The worst part is that there's rarely any golf etiquette by the players - sunflower seeds on the greens, no one ever offers to let you play through.

There's much better courses in the area.

Good Day on the Course

Fun course with a few tight fairways and some up and down holes. The rough was brown in spots due to lack of rain. Surprisingly not crowded for a Sunday midday. Bridges, which there are many, in need of repairs, Will be back
