Getting there
RiverWinds Golf Club lies just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, making Philadelphia International Airport the natural gateway, a straightforward twenty-minute drive southwest into West Deptford. The route follows I-95 south before peeling off into the quieter industrial and residential patchwork of Gloucester County, where the landscape opens slightly and the river's presence becomes felt in the flatness of the terrain. This is accessible, unpretentious golf country - no winding mountain passes or coastal drama, just an easy suburban approach that delivers you to the banks of the Delaware and a layout carved from former farmland with surprising room to breathe.
