I played the previous private golf course, Running Deer Golf Club. An 18-hole championship course, now a semi-private golf course open for public play located in Pittsgrove, New Jersey. While in the car heading to the club on a hot summer afternoon, I was remembering why I have not been back to Running Deer in a few years. Hmmm, the unfinished club house, lack of help around the facility and the less than desirable course maintenance, I was wondering and hoping the past conditions had changed. Within minutes of arriving I could tell there has been a significant change. The club house was complete, helpful employees were all over the property happy to help and the first fairway and tee area was lush and green.
Ed Carmen designed and built Running Deer in 2000 after managing several other golf facilities. Mr. Carmen was the general manager / owner of the golf club since the clubs inception. Over the last few years, rumor has it, the club was having financial issues and started cutting back on the support staff and facility maintenance. As a result, the golf clubs high standards started to decline. In 2009 Ron Jaworski Management purchased the ailing golf club from Ed Carmen and converted the private club to a semi-private golf club open to public play. RJM immediately proceeded with club house upgrades and course maintenance and it shows. I spoke to a few golfers at the Antlers Pub after my round and they are thrilled the course is coming back to life and could not be happier RJM purchased the golf facility.
Ron Jaworski Management also owners and/or managers nearby Valleybrook Country Club and Riverwinds Golf Club.
RDGC offers several discounts, contact the pro shop for details. Here is a current golf special: $29 early bird special. This special runs Monday – Thursday only, from open (7am) to 8:30 am only. $29 includes golf with cart for anybody who walks through the door.
FROM THE WEB SITE: From the moment you walk into our finely-appointed clubhouse, with its elegant wood décor and cathedral ceilings, you'll know that you're some place special - to be treated special. As you make it around our 18, tree-lined holes of quite difficult golf, you'll hear - nature! That's right. Here, amidst a densely-populated area of the Northeast, you'll hear only natural sounds, as Running Deer affords a round buffered from honking horns and life's hubbub. You'll be left with the opportunity to leave the workaday world behind and concentrate on your game.
COURSE CONDITION: I had the opportunity to play this course a few years ago while it was still a private club. When I played that day (4 to 5 years ago), the overall course did not seem to be maintained the way one would expect from a private course. So when I arrived at the course for my first experience since purchased by Ron Jaworski Management, I was a little apprehensive. After playing the first few holes, there is no doubt RJM has made vast improvements in the course conditions. The teeing areas were lush and green without the zillion driver divots common at most public courses. The rolling fairways were green and firm with nasty rough alongside numerous fairways. The subtle undulating greens were firm and rolling quick in the hot summer afternoon. Overall I was very impressed with the course conditions, at present time the course conditions are what you expect for a private country club, not a course open and accessible to all.

FACILITIES: Running Deer Golf Club provides complete practice facilities with a large grass driving range, putting and chipping greens, sand trap practice area and on-site teaching facilities. RDGC maintains a filly stocked pro shop with the top of the line equipment and apparel.
At my last visit, there were a few sections of the club house which sat un-finished. To RJM’s credit, the club house is completely finished and looks great. It houses the pro shop, restaurant / bar, locker facilities, grand ballroom, conference and banquet facilities. I had dinner at the bar after my round, very friendly bartender, lots of TVs, warm and comfortable decor, good food and cold beer.
VALUE vs COURSE CONDITIONS (1 thru 5 – 1: awful how could they charge me to play here to 5 excellent all around facility would definitely be back): I give it a 4 to 4.5, great course conditions.

PRESTIGIOUS AWARD: From GolfStyles Magazine Summer 2010: “Many courses in South Jersey want to be Pine Valley. Running Deer, designed by Ed Carman, comes closest, which is perhaps the highest compliment one can give to the crown jewel in Ron Jaworski’s golf holdings.”

This club sounds too good. I prefer playing in Golf Course like this.
Golf Club is a club that a golfer would be in their golf bag. Yes, they do work, make tough shots that are easier, and has developed into one of the best club ever. Understand what a hybrid is the word "hybrid" by genetics, which means that two different species in order to obtain desirable characteristics of both. Hybrid Golf Club is just a combination of performance available, and the "iron" and "tree". In other words, a golf club is a hybrid cross between a long iron and fairway wood, and consists of some positive characteristics of both clubs.
