On my 2014 bucket list is to play a Ron Jaworski course; was thinking specifically at RiverWinds. Does anyone have any feedback on this course; or is there another Jaw's course that is better in comparison?
Another Jersey course that I'd like to get back to this year is The Bay at Stockton Seaview. We played there last August and unfortunately, being a true newbie at golf that included one too many cocktails before our 3PM tee time... I had a very terrible experience! So now I'm on a mission to kick the Bay's butt (or at least do better this time). LOL. I'd also like to golf the Pines.

I haven't played Riverwinds yet PAGG, but it has an excellent reputation. I have heard that it can indeed be windy, so try to play if in good weather.
I have played Eagle's Nest and liked it very much.
Harrisburg is a long way from NJ. What brings you this Far East for golf?

THP held an event at his Blue Heron course last year. It was early in the season but it was in pretty good shape and a fun course.

I have quite a few colleagues in NJ, which brings me opportunities to play. I'd have to say that I was heartbroken last October when I was at the Jumping Brook Country Club in Neptune for work and couldn't golf. That course was beautiful!
But other than for work, we travel to NJ for the beach and fishing - - easy 2.5 hour drive down the AC Expressway. We also have family in south Jersey. And, most likely the reason why I'm SO interested in golfing a Jaw's course... is, well... we bleed green. LOL.
I love trying out new courses; especially since I'm new at the sport. And thanks in part to GolfNow, we've been able to do that.
Best,
K

I'm in South Jersey. Plenty of places to play. As Xarraan suggested, Blue Heron is a nice one when down the shore. Indian Springs in Evesham is beginner friendly as is Kresson, a very short course. Neither will win a beauty contest though.

Can't make tomorrow. Friday still on if it doesn't rain

Question for the northerers. Groupon has a deal at Meadows in Lincoln Park for $25 with cart M-F. Is it worth it?

I haven't played there in years. The course is constantly under water and the holes are much, much shorter than the card says. It's a cow pasture for sure.

It's not as bad as Jeff said. Its decent. It gets really crowded. If it rains you need a day or 2 for the water to clear out. I actually picked up 2 of the weekend groupons for $33. Plan on going early on a Saturday or Sunday. If you go any later than 8 you will be waiting forever. Not a challenging course at all but its 2 minutes from my house. I would never pay their full rate to play there.
