A Bevy of Fabulous Courses in the
Ron Jaworski Golf Portfolio By, JOHN TORSIELLO
T
he golf, service and ambiance at Ron Jaworski Golf properties keeps getting better and better. Jaworski’s impressive portfolio of daily fee courses includes Blue Heron Pines Golf Club in Galloway, N.J., Valleybrook Country Club in Blackwood, N.J., Ramblewood Country Club in Mount Laurel, N.J., RiverWinds Golf and Tennis Club in West Deptford, N.J., Downington Country Club in Downington, Pa., and Running Deer Golf Club in Pittsgrove, N.J. Jaworski, a former National Football League star quarterback, football analyst par-excellence, and avid golfer and fan of the game, has built a superior stable of courses. His solid and well-known name, reputation and likeability factor has no doubt helped his golf company maintain a high level of success over the last three decades. He plays as much as he can and is a single digit handicap. Said Jamie Riley, Director of Marketing and Promotions, “Ron Jaworski Golf offers a wide variety of course styles to play at an amazing value for the everyday golfer in our area. Whether you are new to the game of golf or find yourself to be an established golfer we have a course for you. All of our properties are open to the public, we offer memberships at each property, and our

Eagle Pass Membership is one of the best deals in the country. The membership gives you playing privileges to six courses for the price of one. Talk about a great value and variety of golf.” Let’s take a look at what’s going on at each of the six courses and clubs. New for this year at Valleybrook, the club is hosting Nike Junior Camps this summer, and Blaise Carabello, a former Division I golfer from Mississippi State University, has joined the golf staff. Valleybrook Country Club is a player friendly course with one of the best practice facilities in South Jersey. Most of its customers and members come from the surrounding area of South Jersey and Philadelphia. The club runs weekly specials on its website, along with holiday specials. The signature hole at Valleybrook is the 13th. It is a picturesque uphill par four. You need to favor the left side of the fairway because it slopes to the right, and you need to make sure to put the ball on the correct level of the two tiered green. Downington Country Club has senior and ladies day on Tuesday and Wednesday. It’s only $39 for 18 holes with a cart. The course also offers a number of different options for membership. With the addition of Andrew Braun, the club’s member services director, Downingtown continues to

see growth in its membership family. “It’s all about having fun and great course conditions at Ron Jaworski Golf,” said Braun. “Whether you are playing 18 holes with friends or having a cold one and some food in 7 Tap Tavern it’s always a great time. Most of our customers are from Chester County, but since DCC has been part of the RJG family we are seeing more and more of a draw from Philly and South Jersey. Word spreads fast when course conditions are great.” The club offers live entertainment and games every Thursday night. A patio and beer garden overlooking the 18th hole is a perfect place to enjoy the evening. The club also offers new discounted rates on weekend mornings. Be sure to book on www. golfdowningtown.com up to two weeks in advance to get the best rates available. Starting Sept. 1 the club will be running a “Buy Now Play Now” membership special. Join now for next year and get the remainder of this year free. Contact Andrew Braun for details at 610-269-2000, extension 636, or email abraun@golfdowningtown.com. The 12th hole at DCC is a beautiful 170-yard par-three over water. The green is narrow and guarded by bunkers. Club selection is a key here. A member tip is to look at the flag pole by the bag drop.
