Ron Jaworski's Valleybrook Country Club
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.

Solid 3
At Valleybrook do not expect wonderful T boxes, greens and fairways. Most fairways are solid, healthy grass with replaced or manicured divots. The greens are hit or miss. Sometimes sandy and fast, other times slow. Hence this unpredictability makes the course difficult. T-boxes could certainly use some work, but I expect there is frequent plat here so I could understand the devastation on the t-boxes. However, the likes on Riverwinds, The Links, and Ramblewood do not experience equal neglegence. Some t-boxes you may find drier than dry, while others are a cesspool. Overall, I think this course will come around to be at the top in time.
The cours is up and down. If you love this style, then Valleybrook is for you. Staff is friendly. helpful, and respect. Generally a bunch of older men that get it, period. The clubhouse is great, well appointed, and accommodating. Overall, Valleybrook has it all, minus some maintenance of the course. Minor adjustments could put it right up with Riverwinds, followed by Ramblewood.
Not very good shape
The greens on the course were in bad condition. A handful of greens had moldy burnt out patches. The tee boxes were horrible. Uneven stances in the tee boxes all day.
Round got delayed by 40+ minutes
The course either overbooked or had extremely poor management in terms of getting everyone out on the course at their correct tee times. I had a tee time at 9:20am and didn’t get out onto the course until 10:10am due to an unexplained “delay”. Other than this the course was in pretty solid shape.
Fun day
Enjoyed a good round at Valleybrook. Thunderstormed after finishing up the front 9 and the staff allowed us to grab some lunch at the bar inside before starting the back 9. Not much of a crowd, partially due to the weather I'm sure. Would love to go back as long as the hot deals keep rolling!
Being a Jaworski course I was skeptical, but Valleybrook was much nicer than I expected. It's not very long but they make up for it with some tight fairways and interesting layout. Typical of his courses the areas outside the fairways can be sketchy, but fairways and greens were in great shape. Tee boxes were just ok and the grass on them was a little long. For what we paid, it was a great value and good day on the course.
Burned at the turn.
Loved the course and its condition. Two of us had a 0630 tee time to get done early. Got to the 10th tee box and two foursomes where put in front of us in a scramble covering the entire back nine. Complained about it and was told we got through the front too fast and would still still get done in 4 hours. Not.
Nice but short
Good value for Money but really short. Back to back par 4’s that you can hit 7iron / wedge and par 5’s all under 500 yards.
Beautiful..just beautiful
Very well kept, not too challenging on the front 9 but the back 9 starts to test your skill. Will definitely be going back!
nice play
Greens a little slower than three weeks ago. Mower up to protect during a heat wave?
really nice people
Enough said, but since its a review its in good shape and you could do a lot worst, enjoy. I'll back soon.
Course and greens
The course is on the short side, and no real wow factors! Greens were just irritated and in bad shape. Way to crowded for me , waiting on every hole. I don’t think I will be playing there any time soon sorry!
Airation alert
I understand it needs to be done, I just wish courses would tell people. The deal was worth it, just frustrated. The course was in ok shape. Also, most of the white tee were moved up, a lot. especially the 18th. 408 from the whites on the card, 340 on the course.
