Valleybrook Country Club - Camden County Public Works Labor – Management Committee
Valleybrook Country Club - Camden County Public Works Labor – Management Committee
5th Annual Crab Party and Golf Outing
Valleybrook Country Club
200 Golfview Drive
Blackwood, New Jersey
Yards: 6008, Par 72 (Middle Tees)
Course Architect: Dave Beakley
Built/Open: 1942
Website: http://www.valleybrookgolf.com/
Golf Outing: Camden County Public Works Labor – Management Committee
Score: Golf Outing (Team -1)
Date: October 2, 2008
I participated in the Camden County Public Works Labor – Management Committee golf outing at Valleybrook Country Club. On a cool, breezy day, our foursome shot a 1 under par. We missed a few birdie putts which would not have made a difference anyway. It was a nice day out of the office and on the links for a good cause.
The course is mostly open with a few tight holes. Most of the fairways are tree lined and the middle holes are very hilly with a few blind shots. Having played this course numerous times and very familiar with the course over the years, we should have performed better.
FROM THE WEB SITE: Ron Jaworski’s Valleybrook Country Club is an 18-hole Semi-Private golf club located in beautiful Blackwood, New Jersey. The championship golf course presents challenges to any level of golfer. The slightly rolling hills with wetlands and mature tree lines offer scenic panoramic views. Golfers will find water coming into play nine times throughout the round, as well as, some great elevation changes.
COURSE CONDITION: Same condition as the previous outing two days before.
FACILITIES: Valleybrook County Club has a driving range, putting green, sand trap area and chipping green. Stop by Riley's Pub after the round, lunch is typical pub food, service is pleasant and friendly, lots of TV’s, cold beer and a good variety on the menu. Keep your eyes open, you may see 'Jaws' in the Pub, nice and friendly guy!
SHOT OF THE DAY: Hole No. 14 (Old Hole #5), 160 yard, Par 3, after four really bad tee shots and a chip onto the green, we were sitting about 40 feet from the hole. In disgust, I swung the putter at the ball with one hand, and directly into the hole, saved par, oops.
SUGGESTIONS AND COMMENTS: Nice open course, some challenging holes, play maybe slow (typical).
GOLFNERDNESS: I always lose more balls during an outing, and ‘shotgun – best ball tournament’ is translated to ‘very long – slow round of golf!’

I participated in the Camden County Hero Scholarship Fund golf outing at Valleybrook Country Club. On a warm, sunny day, our foursome shot a 4 under par. We were at 5 under par but gave one back late in the round. We also missed a hand full of birdie putts. It was a great day out on the links for a good cause.
The course is mostly open with a few tight holes. Most of the fairways are tree lined and the middle holes are very hilly with a few blind shots. Having played this course numerous times and very familiar with the course over the years, we should have performed better.

Golfers will find water coming into play nine times throughout the round, as well as, some great elevation changes.
COURSE CONDITION: The course overall was in the best shape I have ever seen it. The tee boxes were beat up but the fairways and greens were in prefect shape which typically by this time of year the course is pretty beat up due to all the public and golf outing play. Come to find out, Ron Jaworski had his NFL golf outing the next day, so the course was spruced up for the NFL players. As always, the rough was cut a little high, but our foursome had at least one ball in the fairway every hole. Overall it was in great shape, I hope it stays that way.

SHOT OF THE DAY: Hole No. 16 (Old Hole #7), 342 yards, Par 4, the hole is a 90 degree dogleg left with a creek and woods on the left until the fairway makes the turn toward the green. For big hitters, most try to cut the corner over the woods toward the green, I have tried this over 40 times and have never made it. This day, I teed up the ball, and crushed it over the woods and in the fairway about 45 yards short of the green. We still pared the hole, wasted swing, wasted opportunity to score.
SUGGESTIONS AND COMMENTS: Nice open course, some challenging holes, play maybe slow (typical).
GOLFNERDNESS: 13 under par won the tournament, cheaters!

Played Valleybrook Country Club over the extended weekend, a public access, woodland style course. This course is very hilly (for south Jersey), has a few blind tee shots, and super fast greens due to the weather, bunkers guarding the greens on numerous holes, trees line about half of the holes.
Shot a round of 93 in the bitter cold wind, but the long 5 1/2+ hour round was exhausting, play was really slow considering the course was not that busy. For a nice change, I was hitting the ball fairly straight off the tee, chipping and putting was average, not a bad day out for the first time this year without any previous practice. Another odd thing, they re-routed the holes, you now start on the old 10th hole, but they didn't change the score card or hole indicators, very confusing.

Considering the windy conditions, the course was in good playable shape for now, this course gets a lot of play and usually is pretty beat up by the end of the summer. Overall, the tee boxes, fairways and greens were in average condition. Complaints: they need to spend some (ESPN) money on upgrades, the new cups for the greens is just not enough. The two warnings I have to players (anytime of the year), playing conditions will change as the season goes on and the pace of play is slow, always!
We stopped by Riley's Pub after the round, the lunch was good, service was pleasant and friendly, lots of TV’s, cold beer and a good variety on the menu. Also spoke to Ron 'Jaws' Jaworski (Owner) in the Pub in a few minutes, nice and friendly guy!
