About this course
Riverton Country Club, a cornerstone of the Cinnaminson community since 1921, whispers tales of a bygone era where social gatherings were as crucial as the golf itself. The course offers a classic parkland experience, its tree-lined fairways meandering across the gently rolling terrain of South Jersey. While not a course designed to overpower, Riverton subtly favors those who can shape the ball, rewarding strategic placement over brute force, especially on approach shots that demand navigating deceptively small, undulating greens. Designed by the understated but respected Scottish architect, Donald Ross, Riverton has remained remarkably true to its original design, subtly enhanced over the years. The course presents a fair challenge without being overly punishing, making it enjoyable for golfers of all skill levels. More than just the golf, Riverton’s lore is rooted in the camaraderie of its membership. A fixture in the club's halfway house is the legendary pork roll sandwich, a quintessential taste of New Jersey embraced and refined at Riverton, becoming as much a part of the experience as navigating the subtle breaks on the 18th green. It remains a place where tradition is valued, and a sense of belonging is palpable.

Getting there
Most visitors to Riverton Country Club arrive through Philadelphia International Airport, a straightforward 25-minute drive northwest across the Delaware River into the quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods of Burlington County. The route follows I-95 briefly before peeling off into the low-key charm of southern New Jersey's riverfront towns, where colonial-era streets and modest residential blocks give way to the club's discreet entrance along the Delaware's eastern bank. This is old-guard, understated golf - no grand gates or sweeping driveways, just a turn off Route 130 and the sudden sense of stepping back into a more private, unhurried era of the game.
