Cherry Island Golf Course

I play Cherry Island a few times per month. Normally we start our round about eight in the morning. Our time this day was 11:04 and there were very few groups on the course but they were very slow players. It took us longer than it should have to complete our round.

For some reason they are eliminating the sand trap on hole number five and reduced the size of the trap on number eight. This makes no sense to me or the staff I asked. I wish they would return hole number 10 to the old par four. That hole had much more personality.

The course was in good shape and we got done in 4 hrs.

Good conditions,real friendly staff, very good scenery

It has been years since I have played Cherry Island. What a shame as it is in fantastic shape. The greens were all fair and true and the course was beautiful. The second cut was pretty brutal as there were times where I had a heck of a time finding my ball. The course plays 6511 from the tips and is a good course for the intermediate golfer. The back nine is where you can do your scoring as it is shorter and you will have the rhythm of the course by then. The 7th is a tough hole as you have water along the right side, but you have to make sure to stay close to the water as the green is across and it is a 160 yard shot a elevated green with traps covering the right front. Yikes....tough hole. Hopefully, I can make it back soon.

4 hours to play 9 holes

Groups of 4 and 5 people backed up on every tee box.

Greens in good shape but pace of play was horrendous with no help from the marshals.

I will not be coming back....

This is a course that requires a premium on club selection and shot placement. Driving accuracy off the tee is vital to setting up GIR approach shots. The course is full of large mature trees just waiting to catch off line shots. Most greens are heavily guarded by well placed bunkers. The greens are undulating and fall lines were hard for me to determine (Probably just me). Oh, by the way, there are streams running across the fairways forcing a risk/reward option of laying up or going for it. I played in a light wind and it would be hard for me to imagine playing in 15-20 mph gusting winds. I recommend you try your skill and luck on this course.

Played course for first time. Rough was a little tough. Fairways and greens for sure.

Staff is extremely helpful, course is in great shape, greens run true. What else can I say. All three of us had a great round of golf at Cherry Island.

Thanks to the staff.

I played on a nice day and found the course to be in really good shape, especially the greens. My tee time was 12:36 the front 9 was pretty open, however the back 9 was like a parking lot...20--25 mins. per hole. Normally that is unexceptable AND there was no marshall to keep play flowing....but the great $10.00 (GolfNow) price, which included a cart, allowed me to skip ahead a couple holes and I finished right at dark. I will play here again, only earlier in the day, or I'll just play 9 hole.

staff friendliness us over the roof. the guy with the long hair gas an amazing attitude. pls maintain this staff friendliness that other courses dont have...

Went with golf now. My partner and I were not on the starter sheet. Luckily we did get to play. The hold up... we finished in the dark Had a really fun day otherwise

Zero wait. Greens were in great shape. Rolled true.

Course was fine. I play this course a few times a year. Pace of play was pretty backed up this time around, which has become the norm last few times I played. Greens were ok. They usually play fast, these ones needed some care, as there were quite a bit of divits.

Saw that they had availability on a Sunday afternoon so decided to tee off, course is kind of dry because of the drought but greens are in great condition, especially for the cost of a round. The staff here is the best and most friendly in the area.

I played this course over twenty years ago and I didn't like it. They have since switched the two nines and the funky first hole which was a dog legged right par four is now the tenth hole par three. The course is in good shape but there are still several corky holes that you need to know where to go or to lay up. The windy conditions made club selection problematic. The pace of play was good unless you happened to follow a group of walkers. The greens were some of the best I have played in the area and the ball rolled true. However, the bunkers were in need of maintenance, at least they have sand in them and it seemed that on one bother to rake them. By the way, there is no drinking water on the course but a staff member was driving around with a cooler so that one can at least fill up one's water bottle. Overall it was an okay experience for me but I am not sure it is worth a return trip.

I found a very good deal at Cherry Island and the pace of play was solid. Luckily, wasn't stuck behind foot golfers . The Greens are in fantastic shape with the fairways a bit burnt out in spots(obvious reason). I really enjoy playing this course, however, on 3 of the par 5's I have to hit iron or hybrid off the tee because of the layout with hazards all around the landing zone with driver. I'm not used to that being the case at any course, let alone 3 times, little funky, but not the end of the world. Course is great value and will playit again.

This course is cleverly designed, challenging and fun. The staff is friendly and professional. The course and greens are overall in good/very good condition. The driving range is sub par at best, however the short game area is excellent. Highly recommend. I will be returning to play.

Played course in 4 hours. Like the course. Greens were in good shape but soft. Traps had actual sand! Lot of brown grass---no surprise given drought. A lot of forced layups off tees. For $53 a decent deal.

THIS IS THE FIRST ROUND IN RECENT MEMORY WHERE WE NEVER WAITED ON ANY SHOT, NOR WERE PRESSURED FROM BEHIND. WHAT A TREAT! AS I NOTED, THE COURSE WAS WELL GROOMED, BOTH FAIRWAYS AND GREENS. CHERRY ISN'T MY CUP OF TEA: LACKS CONTOURS, AND REALLY HAS NO HOLES WITH "CHARACTER."

First time playing course. I'm a beginner and found it to be very challenging, but fun at the same time. Many hazards. Staff was friendly and came around regularly with water.

I thought going at 3pm in 91 degree weather would be a faster paced time. I was wrong.

The guy in the pro shop was very nice when checking me in.

The only complaint I have is that I only got through 11 holes in 3 hours. I gave up while waiting for the 12th hole.

The guy in the pro shop was very accommodating and apologetic. I will be back!
