Running Deer Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 public course in Pittsgrove, New Jersey, and part of the Ron Jaworski Golf network. It was designed by architect Ed Carman and opened in 2000.
The championship layout winds through the trees of historic Pittsgrove, with rolling fairways, undulating terrain and grassy teeing areas. The wooded setting gives the course a quiet, secluded feel, and each hole presents its own test for players of differing abilities.
Five sets of tees accommodate a wide range of games: Black at 7,024 yards (rating 73.9 / slope 133), Blue at 6,601 (72.0 / 130), White at 6,270 (70.5 / 125), Gold at 5,681 (67.8 / 121) and Red at 4,833 (63.8 / 113).
