Cherry Island Golf Course

I’ve only played here one other time in the past, and that time was pretty dang good.

On this day, however, I played the SLOWEST round of my life. First, I show up and am notified my tee time got pushed back by 30 minutes with no notice in advance. Proceed to the tee box.

I’m told that there’s a 25-man/pair tournament going on, and that we’re next after the last group in the tournament. These were all old people who moved at a very slow pace; one guy had oxygen, other had a walker, mulligans after mulligans, etc. I understand that they are just out trying to have fun, but these planned tournaments need to be planned out better and the public should be notified of their intent to hold a tournament.

A course that would typically take me 3:30-4:00 hours to complete took us close to 6:00 hours. Unacceptable. And we still ended up paying full price.

The fairways were decent; a majority of it was grass on top of a hard compacted soil, which added to the difficulty. The grass range could use some TLC and/or grading.

Shop and food/bar is great; breakfast burritos were great.

Overall, would love to give it another shot on a non-tournament day.

I went as a single today, the Marshall at the first tee paired me with another single who was a much better golf then I. Ended up have a great day playing with this young man, his advise work very well for me.

Love playing Cherry Island. Always want my swing pretty solid to play there. Staff is always great. The girls in the snack place fantastic. Always a good vibe. Lots of grass on the range this time, but the balls are "getting tired". Heavy rain near, thunder & lightning. Had me on edge, but it faded off, luckily. Miserable pairing though (won't say any more - it's happened to us all). Made for a miserable day. The course played long. Good challenge. Loved it. Played the blues all the way back. Get out to Cherry Island & enjoy the course. Excellent true greens, usually good fairways & bunkers. Hit one bunker w/ nice sand. Fairways a bit shaggy though Numerous hazards. Can't wait back to get back!

The course was very well watered, and so lush and green. they always have the water to keep it in great conditionwhen it is so hot outside.

So many ball marks that aren’t repaired! Please people repair your ball marks, and one or two others while you’re at it.

This course has changed over the years, for the better. Challenging but fun course to play and the staff has

Always been very helpful and friendly. One drawback is that the course grill closes too early.

The course is nice and there are a few challenging holes. I am an intermediate player and you have to hit straight. It's a good challenge and I would definitely come back. Wish there was water jugs on the course.

I am a beginner/intermediate golfer, so this course was tough for me. I love the challenging layout. We played late morning and it was pretty wide open so the pace of play was awesome I will definitely come back.

I’ve played Cherry Island many times and the course has always been challenging. The weather for my latest round there was very windy with gusts over 20 miles that made club selection that much more challenging. The Greens were all in excellent shapes and they were the best in the area. I wished people would repair their pitch marks more. On one green, I had to repair four pitch marks within my putt line! There are areas of the course do need attention such as teeing boxes that were mostly uneven lines and bare dirts. Several cart pads were full of water that were unacceptable, especially at the 15 tee box. Most of the cart pads needed maintenance or replacements.

Fun course cart paths were flooded in some spots and some really wet spots on fairways other than that fun course and challenging on some holes

The starter Eddie was the "highlight" of the day. He was a USGA trained professional who made it seem you were playing a professional tournament. He had us ready up while waiting to begin our round. He also regaled us with stories of his background while setting out the rules of the course. Amazing upgrade to the beginning of any golf round I have played>

Course layout if good,,range ok.

The cart paths are dangerous.. The pot holes create a situation that requires attention at all times. Repair work is required before some one is injured. Repairing the cart path is required for players wanting to return. Cart path repair is the # one priority. Please!
