Fort Cherry Golf Club

I have been playing fort cherry since I was in high school. Its typically always in good shape. I have to say, the greens are some of the best in the area. They are in perfect shape especially for this time of year. Some of the tee boxes are a little close together but it doesn't bother me at all. Would recommend especially if you can get a hot deal rate. 6 pack of beer for $8 as well, can't beat that!

I play here at least once a week. The course offers challenging holes for the advanced golfer but nice lay up spots for beginners. With par being 70 it makes the course a fun play for all players. The greens are medium speed and hardness but very true for putting, usually in good condition. The pro shop guys are normally very friendly minus the select few who don't want to help anyone. On the other hand the pro (Karen) is AWESOME. The girls that tend the bar are super friendly and the gps carts are a major plus. All in all a super good deal.

If you're a beginner or a little above talent this is a very nice course to play. Not overly crowded. Not many hazards and if you're a beginner like me why would anyone want more hazards than this course has. Course condition was very good for this time of year. Staff was very friendly (not arrogant like I've experienced at other courses where they make you feel like they are doing you a favor by allowing you to play their course). I will definitely play again.

Nice simple layout and picturesque setting. Quite a forgiving course off the tee box, but difficulty increases a little bit as you get closer to fairly large greens. Pace of play generally not too bad. Conditions very good for most of this year. Back nine better challenge than the front. A few too many driver plus wedge holes and I wish the course had more deciduous trees, but overall golf here is a consistently good experience.

Anybody looking for a hidden gem? This is the course for you. Beautiful layout well kept.

This course predates Quicksilver down the road by a bit and it shows. Course was designed for permission woods and wound Maxfli golf balls. With today's equipment you can bring this place to its knees if you are straight off of the tees.

Tee boxes were really chewed up, but admittedly its been a dry summer around here.

Something is wrong with the GPS on the carts. Mine disagreed with the Golf Logix program on my phone by 50-60 yards at times and twice stopped on the cart path and said that I must exit the area. Weird.

A tolerable course if you can get a Hot Price on Golf Now but other than that I'd think twice.

A few tees and greens were rather close. The GPS on our cart wasn't even close to accurate. Easily 50 yards off. While on the cart path, the cart would shut down and tell us to go in reverse until we we're in a appropriate area. I was impressed with the conditions of the fairways and greens. The tees were rather off though. I'd go back for the golfnow price.

My only problem with the course is the fact you can't take a cart out to the car. It might have been just that day but didn't see a lot of older people . My wife was one of 2 women I saw. This is just me but this is too nice of a course for muscle shirts.

Course was in great shape. Easy course, but staff were fantastic and prices were so good. Played an extra 18 holes for 8 each and 6 packs only$8. Great value

First off, the course was in exceptional condition. Perfect greens and well kept fairways. Great course for scoring if you are somewhat accurate off the tee. The problem lies with the GPS system. There were ads popping up on the screen every 30 seconds it seemed. And when there weren't ads, there was a screen asking if you'd like to place an ad there. Also, the distances and tee placements were way off. Sadly, this ruined what was a great outing for us. Moral of the story: bring your own GPS or rangefinder and don't even bother with theirs.

Great course for a Sunday morning round. The GPS in the cart is nice just annoying to deal with for all the advertisements. We played fast for a Sunday morning so I would come back here for sure.

Played last weekend and I cannot say enough about the course and staff. The greens were fast and overall a great place to play. The room which we stayed at did not have curtains and lights outside made me think I was in Alaska. We had to block the window with our coats. I know we were the first to stay there this year but I believe they were not ready for overnight guest. There is one hot water tank for 30 rooms and it takes 10 minutes of running water to get it . However the price was great.

Danger standing in every tee box. Way too tight.good greens though

I played this course about 5 times this year. The staff are like most other golf courses in the area. Not sure why most golf course workers have such big chips on their shoulders? It's like they were cops in another life dealing with criminals every day. The rough sounding lady in the pro shop is very snippy but maybe I just caught her on a bad 5 days . I am the one paying so think she should be a little more patient. But with that said, seems to be the norm for pro shop workers.

Carts: I think they have nicer carts but I always get the old ones that take 10-15 seconds to get moving.
Tee boxes: were in good condition but are placed a little too close to greens on a few holes but that didn't bother us at all.
Fairways: were in good condition and were par for this type of course. There were many trees lining the fairways but nothing that affected your shots if you stayed on the fairway. the par 5 on the back 9 gets really swampy if they had rain a few days before but that was the only bad fairway that I have experienced there.
Greens: the greens have always been in great condition when I was there. Not much sand but enough to keep it fun.
Rate of play: I play with my kids (10 and 15) and we are always waiting on the group in front of us. I don't mind that at all because they are waiting just the same for the group in front of them and so on... The thing I dislike is that the group behind us does not alway think the same way. Right away, they see kids and think we are holding everything up. I get it! But look ahead of us and use some common sense... Kids take more shots but so do some older people and some women... But we all have to wait a little to tee off so what's the hurry? To get on the next Tee box so you can wait with us??? We play according to time of wait in front of us, try doing the same! Sorry, just a pet peeve.
Facilities: hotdog and beer stand on the 10 hole is awesome! One time there was nobody in there but I could see the hotdogs spinning! That was a bad day but probably just bad timing catching her on a bathroom break.
The bar: looks nice but I never ate or drank there. My kids said the food is awesome!
I gave this course a 3 out of 5 only because I played on some very nice country club courses that would be 5's. If I was rating against other public courses I would give it a solid 4.

The fairways were not in very good condition. There were significant areas of hard dirt within the fairways on several holes.

In general, the holes are very close together. A moderately bad approach shot can easily land on the tee box for the next hole in many occasions. You were often quite close to golfers on other holes as things were very close together.

Though the course wasn't in good condition and the course seemed to be jammed into a space that was too small for it, the worst factor was pace of play. I was playing a round with my wife and my aging father. He does not hit the ball well any more and I was worried that we might be a nuisance to other golfers because he is slow. We were not a problem. We found ourselves waiting painfully to start each hole. We decided to leave before playing our last 2 holes because it was too frustrating.

It seems like the round could have been acceptably enjoyable if there was a ranger attempting to police the pace of play of offending groups.

I would say that the course was in very bad condition. The fairways was the worst fairways I've seen this year. They were very burned out.

Nothing great. Fairways were dried out, but greens were great, but hard. Nothing seemed to bite.

This course was in horrible condition. The fairways were gone for the most part, as I had to move my ball most of the time, to find grass to hit from.

I signed up for a Tee time on Golf now for one price but got there and was told they were running a better special and gave our group a better rate then I would have had to pay. The ladies in the pro shop were awesome and very sweet. Great course. Golf carts kind of sucked but that was about it.

Solid course for all skill levels. Open course with nice size fairways and greens but have to make accurate shots to score well. Only problem is getting behind some slower groups with high handicapp players.
