Roll Call: Eastern PA/ South NJ

My in-laws live down that way and I am there a lot. I have played Riverwinds and Scotland Run - both not strapped persay, but they have dynamic pricing and can find a decent deal around there. They both aren;t the most interesting courses but are fairly well maintained, and yeah worth checking out as they would be quite accessible for you. I am looking to explore more as I will be down there for the next month or so with the family. Good luck!

My in-laws also lives in that area, and I always enjoy Running Deer down in Pittsgrove, I think. Also, Pitman is muni that is more along the lines of a Strapped course.
By the way, Iā€™ve always heard Scotland Run is really good, but have never played it. Why did you not like it?

Running Deer is sneaky good.

I like it, but guess just feel it can be a bit expensive at times, the greens can be pretty slow, and the pace of play is all over the place. Its still in a solid track and should rotation for sure, but just wonā€™t want it to be my regular, that;s all.

Pitman is a fun little loop. Has become a lot more difficult to get a weekend tee time there the last couple years.

Iā€™ve always felt like if they ever let the greens get fast, you couldnā€™t play it! Those greens have some serious undulation to them! I love it, but you have to get used to the speed being slower. Itā€™s also has some really tough holes. I think the 11-13 stretch can be pretty tough.

yeah I can see that guess I am just used to a bit faster - always up for a round out there with a fellow refugee

I donā€™t like to play by myself, so when things get normal enough to visit, maybe we can get together and play somewhere.

sounds good, we are camping out at my in-laws for the month of June, and then we are down there at least once a month - so yeah sounds like a plan

Agree with Running Deer and Scotland Run. Might be worth it to make a trip down the shore (ACCC, Shoregate, Twisted Dunes, Seaview) or out to PA one weekend (Wyncote, Inniscrone, Glenn Mills).

Iā€™m happy to sherpa anyone around Running Deer when things get back to normal(ish). Iā€™ve been a member there for 6 years and I ride hard for it as the best bang for the buck in the area.

Thatā€™d be great, I may give you a ring here in a few months

Iā€™m in for a gathering anywhere. 36 at Seaview is usually my go-to in NJ. But spend a fair amount of time at RD.

In for a round a Running Deer, itā€™s been a few years

Playing Scotland run Tuesday am if anyone is interested

Playing Mountain View in Ewing, NJ tomorrow at 4:36. If anyone is looking for a game, let me know.

Feel free to DM about CV. I was very fortunate to grow up playing there.

I am in south jersey visiting the in-laws next week, if anyone wants to golf, hit me up.

Iā€™m in Woodbury with the in laws, might try to play a twilight round at Scotland run one night if youā€™re interested

Iā€™m down. Iā€™ve been wanting to try Scotland Run. Just let me know which day you choose.
