About
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.

Never again
I have played this course 3 times, and it is seems to get slower every time. The staff was doing nothing to try and increase the rate of play, and our group saw 1 ambassador the entire round that started at 1:36 and didn't end until 6:51. We waited behind 2 groups on the tee box on just about every hole. Overall a terrible experience multiple times. Despite the decent shape the course is in, ease of layout, and 10 minute drive from my home, I have no plan to return.
Not Worth It
Have played this course a few times already and overall the course is in solid condition - which is where the good part ends. Bring your hard hats and your sudokus because you'll be dodging opposing balls all day due to the layout, and sitting around due to the inexplicably horrid pace of play. The staff (rangers, pro shop, bartenders) have a sense of arrogance to them and seem to only care about the regulars and friends of Jaworski. I gave the course a few tries because it generally is in good condition but the inherent dangers, slow pace, and terrible staff just have not made it worth while. Can find courses of the same quality (with much friendlier staff) for similar prices in the area. Look elsewhere.
Greens were in excellent shape. Pacing was good after a slow start - staff was friendly and inviting.
Don't play on Sunday
Good deal on golf now , and I had never played the course. Three of my buddies took the ride from Bucks County, we hear about the course constantly on 97.5, and I will never take the trip again.
Course looks great tucked away in a residential area. If you have 7-8 hours to waste on a Sunday feel free to play. It took 4 hours to play the front 9. I had to be somewhere later in day so I literally had to leave my friends on hole 11 and walk to my car carry my bag.
Weekdays may play quicker will not attempt to play this course on weekend or ever again
Friendly, fairly open course
This is a nice course, especially for the money. My only complaint was I was not aware that the greens had been aerated and sanded. It did not affect play, but would have been nice to know. A three hour round for my wife and I was great.
Good Place to play
Have played here several times in the past 5 years.
The course is difficult with all the hills and water running through it, however it is keep in good condition throughout.
Better tee time spacing
The course was in great shape tee to greens. Tee times too close together. Waited on every hole, almost 5 hour round. Spoke with manager and appreciated the feed back, even offered to comp next round. Would definitely recommend playing course.
It was Uninspiring
This course was alright. The pace of play was nice, I played at 4 and got through 18 in 4 hours. The greens were in good shape, but the cups were in terrible shape. The lip of nearly every cup was destroyed. I dont know if they need a new machine to make the holes, but it was very frustrating. The people there were very nice, the cart guy drove me out to the hole and refused to accept a tip. The tee boxes were in bad shape, but they had the tees moved up so hopefully they will move them back soon. The fairways were in decent shape, but the rough was disgusting and filled with mud. It had rained the day before I went, but there was still so much mud and water on the course they must have a drainage problem. A couple of the cups were filled with water. The first cut of rough is like hitting out of a swamp sometimes. I understand wanting the rough to be thick and difficult, but this was just like they had neglected it for a while. The course is very boring, it's mostly just up and back up and back over and over again. More like a $20 course than a $29 course. Would only go again if you can get a deal for less than $25
Jersey Golf
I understand this was a public course, but they really needed a starter and a course Marshall to get groups off the first tee and keep up with the pace of play.
Great Day for Golf Equals Crowded Fairways
It was a beautiful spring day, so the course was pretty slammed. I played with a member who mentioned that the tee times have been pushed to be closer together (every 8 minutes) so there's always a backlog of people at each tee box.
Apart from the pace of play, Valleybrook is a consistently good value for a well-maintained course. I'd put up with the pace of play for the value without hesitation.
Fun day
Lots of interesting and challenging holes. Not long but fair. Some tough greens
Overall really enjoyable round at a very reasonable fee

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.
Greens were fast
Course was in great condition and greens were fast
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.
