Riverton is a private club, so not open to general public. I was able to play as a visiting member of a nearby club. It is a Donald Ross design, and is in very good shape. The staff could not be nicer; they made us feel special. Riverton is a remarkable course in that it is playable for the average 90's player, but also a test for scratch players. It does not have a dumb hole on the course, which is saying something as I have played many very good courses which still have one or two ill conceived holes. The worse I can say about Riverton is that the 2nd hole is a little bland.This is the most fun course to play in South Jersey (Camden, Burlington and Gloucester Counties), and my personal favorite that is not called Pine Valley.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
Condition of Course, Difficulty, Layout, Ambiance, Pace of Play, Staff, Pro Shop
