Broad Run Golfer's Club
Played On 06/21/2023Vineyard National Golf Course
Played On 05/17/2023A little below standard
12 of 14 Fairways are very patchey and not grown in. Course has not recovered from last year’s irrigation problems.
Greens roll true and smooth - but not lighting fast.
Hopefully all will improve in coming months.
Priced a little high for the current conditions.
Vineyard National Golf Course

Played On 08/16/2023AERATION ALERT
The course won’t tell you but I will.
Greens were punched on Aug 14
Wait a couple of weeks and enjoy the round. Or give your green fees to the course now and have a sub par experience.
It’s maddening how very few courses will alert their customers in advance of aerated greens. I enjoy Broad Run immensely but this deceptive practice ruined my day. I won’t play here again this year because of this. Probably 4-5 rounds of green fees lost by Broad Run. I’ll play next year but will call the pro shop every time and ask about conditions.
Heron Glen Golf Course
Played On 07/22/2020Gambler Ridge Golf Club
Played On 06/30/2020In a pinch....
....is the only time I’d recommend playing Gambler Ridge.
Layout is very friendly for casual golfers. Not very long, not very penal. Greens very slow and horrible ball marks on all. Rough is too high and many fairways and other areas are beat up. If your jonesing for a round of golf - any golf - I guess gambler will do. But only in a pinch.

Macoby Run Golf Course
Played On 06/23/2020Modest local course
Rolling hills with a farmland feel.
Front 9 has an interesting layout while the back 9 is more back n forth.
Fairways in good shape. Greens need a cut and roll to be good. Currently quite slow.
Open course, forgiving, very few bunkers.
Driving range is nice amenity.
Good local course but not really worth a drive or special trip to play.
Reading Country Club
Played On 06/17/2020Worth the Drive
All good at Reading CC. Friendly staff, ground crew and golfers. A welcomed Grass driving range.
Historic Course with a layout that keeps you interested and on your toes. Rewarding for accurate drivers or 3-wood.
While Not long by today’s standards it’s a challenging course no doubt.
Greens and fairways are in top shape.
Tees boxes a bit hard with the summer season. But flat and mowed.
Worth the drive
Mercer Oaks Golf Course - East Course
Played On 05/26/2020Great course - sub par conditions
Mercer Oaks East is typically in great shape however right now the fairways and greens are below their standard.
It feels like they’re protecting the course. Fairways need to be cut, rough needs to be evened out and greens need to be mowed and rolled. Possibly related to staffing issues during Covid?
Fire up the mowers and rollers and it’ll be back to the top notch track it typically is.
Pinelands Golf Club
Played On 07/29/2020They’re “trying”
reviews repeatedly say that the new owners are trying and that the course is better than years past. I gave pinelands a try to find out.
My mistake. $29 spent and lesson learned.
They’re going to be trying for another 1-2 years before it’s worth playing - at any discounted rate.
All tee boxes are mud.
All fairways are patching at best.
Greens are terribly slow.
Cart paths are a wreck.
Colllars and rough are embarrassing.
I okayed with players who knew the course over the years and they swear its improved - but it has a long long way to go.

Ron Jaworski's Valleybrook Country Club
Played On 08/13/2019Aerified Greens
Heads Up: greens aerified week of 8/20
Good idea to check all Jaworski courses for aerify dates instead of showing up to the unpleasant surprise
Middletown Country Club
Played On 04/09/2019Golf As It’s Not Meant To Be
Severely slanted/sloped fairways and greens. Not unusual to land a ball in middle or left center of fairway only to have it come to rest on right side of right cart path.
Sloped Greens in general can be fun, however Middletown takes it too far (and the fun out of it).
Currently greens are sub par speed and condition.
Collars and areas surrounding greens are beat up and cared for well below average.
18th hole has been closed so there’s option to play 17 twice (fun drivable par 4) or play 1 again.
Many better golf options in the area.
Worth a $20 Hot Deal but nothing more in one golfers opinion
You obviously haven't played too many old school golf courses of that era. A lot of the private clubs in the area are similar in design with hard sloping greens and fairways where you have to play the hole for the roll the fairway will give you. I used to caddy at Torresdale, a Donald Ross course, and there were holes if you were in the wrong spot you could not keep it on the green. These kind of greens were not designed for the speed of how they are kept today. I played in an outing ta Philmont last week and same thing. It isn't a detractor of the course, it's the design. You learn how to play it.
Hi, we are sorry that you didn't enjoy your round of golf with us the other day. We are currently renovating the 18th and we are doing some other maintenance work that will be completed soon. Your feedback is important to us. We hope you'll consider coming back in the future.
Ron Jaworski's RiverWinds Golf & Tennis Club
Played On 10/03/2018AERATING GREENS 1st WEEK OCTOBER
Course in great shape. Cart path only due to rain on Tuesday. Greens conditions some of the best of the season. Beware: greens being punched this week. Shared with us by Maintenance staff.
Unlikely that pro shop will share this info in advance. GolfNow used to use Advisory symbols for courses that recently aerified, but no longer do. Advice: Call ahead - ask questions before booking.
Greens were aerified at the end of August. This is not accurate information.
Rancocas Golf Club
Played On 09/19/2018CANNOT RECOMMEND
I am only sharing this experience because it was so bad that I would hate for anyone to elect to pay for a round at Roncocas without reading this first.
To keep it short:
- Majority of tee boxes were significantly crowned. Ball above or below your feet - you pick.
- Carelessly long, straggling rough everywhere except fairways. Miss the fairway by 1 yard anywhere, including around the greens, and you have a 50/50 chance of finding your ball. 1 yard - really. This isn't thick, manicured, cared-for rough. Rather, just a lack of course maintenance & mowing. Rainy weather aside, the rough has been neglected all season.
- Greens never swept of morning dew. I completed my round at 11am on a sunny day. No greens maintenance. Every green was essentially an automated 2 putt. Like playing temp greens. A shame.
I cancelled my afternoon round booked with a Hot Deal for under $30 because the condition of the course doesn't justify any dollar amount or time. There are plenty of quality, affordable courses in the area. Rancocas currently isn't one of them.
Inniscrone Golf Club
Played On 08/29/2018Tale of Two Nines
Front nine is a challenging and fair layout of holes.
Back nine is has many hokey holes.
Fairways and greens in great shape. Rough is unacceptably high. If you miss the fairway even slightly on many holes, there is a slim chance you will find your ball.
Would recommend playing, though with the above understanding of course. $45 or less.
Ron Jaworski's RiverWinds Golf & Tennis Club
Played On 08/22/2018Aerated Greens
NOTE: Greens aerified and sanded on Aug. 21. Recommended 2nd week of September for fully recovering. ALSO, started informed me that they top dress the greens every Tuesday,. I have played the course twice and each time the greens were basically automatic 2 putt. Aerifying is necessary maintenance, but weekly top dressing is too bad. The green could be spectacular.
When this course is in ideal condition it could be a real gem. The layout and holes are solid. Wide open course, but penalty for missing fairways with long rough. They could reduce the rough throughout the course. Very difficult to find balls.
Good value with Golf Now Hot Deal. Otherwise, too pricey.
Ron Jaworski's RiverWinds Golf & Tennis Club
Played On 08/07/2018Solid Course with Golf Now deal. Sanded Greens
Greens had been sanded in the morning. Necessary maintenance but disappointing to not fully appreciate them.
Wide open course, though rewarded for fairways hit. Rough is rough.
Solid course close to philly with GN deal.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our recent aeration of the greens on August 14th. We appreciate your feedback and will strive to provide clearer communication to our customers about the maintenance schedule in the future. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we hope to see you again next year.
