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.

Appropriately named by the river and definitely windy
Playing surface well maintained Greens reasonably quick for public course A few blind shots and water that makes it better to play with someone who knows the course.
Generous fairways
Traps in good shape
10 handicap and played to same
Would definitely play again when in the area
I really like the course and will play again. Staff seemed indifferent when I dropped my clubs at the bag drop. They were better at the end of the round.
My go-to course
I live in Philadelphia, and I absolutely love this course. As someone that isn’t going to be on the Tour at any point in time, this course is perfect. It’s both challenging and forgiving. It’s very wide and has limited trees or tall grass - meaning you get to find your ball if you aren’t consistently hitting the fairway. It can be a bit pricy, but it’s worth the expense.
Added bonus, the staff and managers, Vince and Andrew, are fantastic!
Great experience minus the ranger.
Great course. Greens were nice, fairways were beautiful, rough was good. Everyone was nice except the ranger. Ranger comes up to our group and was very rude. Tell us on the 14th hole to speed up our play and catch up to the group in front of us. Even though we were right with the group in front of us the whole round. Then tell us to keep our balls in the fairway to someone in my group. I guess we caught him on a bad day lol. But besides that everyone else was very friendly and nice and course was very good for winter golf.
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.
Nice course, ranger not so much
Course is mint for November, however, the ranger was pretty rude. My buddy was driving and we were scolded for driver over the mounds, but there was no cart path that led to the fairway…he could’ve been a lot nicer about it but he was a grumpy old man.
Solid Course
Course conditions were awesome. Got a hot deal and tried it out. Didn’t get all 18 in because I started at 3:10 and the course got backed up by the 9th hole but I’ll def try it again.
