Cherry Island Golf Course

Friendly staff, good pace of play for a Sunday afternoon. Marshall's offered water on course during a very warm day. Course in good condition, well maintained.

I have played Cherry Island many times and have enjoyed each round. The course is always in great condition and the staff is very friendly. It offers challenges to the more advanced players if they take the risk.

This was a great course with plenty of fun par 3s. There are a few holes that need to be layed-up so before I play here again I will check yardages to hazards so I'll have a clue. Course was in great condition.

I just love the greens on this golf course they're always fast and roll true. The fairways are always cut nice and even the rough is tended to. Yesterday's staff was great and really nice they had put me together with a group that one individual was a begginer and it took him 8 shots just to reach my one and I even suggested to him to tee it forward to the red tees which he refused so I quit after nine holes. I went back to the pro shop to turn in the handicapped flag and on my way I seen the individual that checked me in and told him what had happened and he said he was sorry and that he didn't know I told of not how could so he told to go inside and ask for Ben and he would give me a rain check on the other nine just great an awesome and decent person. This golf course is less than 10 mins from my home but I don't play it as much as I would like and I really want to join the men's club but they tend to be not minority friendly especially the older gentleman the younger men are cool. My group always get followed on every hole by the Marshall every time we come here. We are all Black men but we're all educated and have great jobs one works for the State Tax Franchise Board another U.S. Supervisor of Nursing in the mental ward at a major hospital another was just giving the State award of best Supervisor in the State he works for the State with a big staff responsible for hiring people for all the major jobs in Sacramento and myself I served in the U.S. Navy for 25 yrs as a SAR DIVER(search and rescue) also I'm a battle worn and battle injured with a Purple Heart among other ribbons and medals. We all shoot from the mid 80's to the high 70's so you could just imagine our feelings for being followed like we done something wrong. It is shame to say but we all drive either a Benz, a Volvo, a BMW and cars like that a year to two old but when the people see us putting our clubs away then the have the nerve o speak. But yesterday those young men restored faith and promise to me that the next generation want hold such prejudices.

Great layout and the fairways and greens are almost always in great shape but the driving range is pretty torn up. Brand new golf carts are really nice but no longer have on-board GPS. Foot golfers are allowed on the course after 12:00 noon and they and their small children have no clue about the etiquette of real golf or the dangers of being hit by a golf ball, and no attempt is made to enlighten them. When asked, the staff said, if you accidentally hit one of them it's not your fault, they are there at their own risk, but it can be a real distraction.

We played here many times until some 3 years ago when some undesirable characters, who obviously should not even hold a golf club, were out of hand on the course. My wife was intimated, reported to the pro shop staff but they didn't do anything. Problem was those guys who were intoxicated shot unto our greens while we were putting. There were other incidents similar to this but the pro shop staff or marshal did not do anything. This time though, the course condition and the services were all good. Obviously they made some staff changes as well since we did not see those people. We are coming back again on a regular basis. Thanks Golf.now for your review system. Your posting the reviews from the players really seem to help the golf course personnel. Thanks.

Good layout. Like most courses a couple of odd holes but a good track, good routing, holds your interest and a beautiful setting. Old school interior style (not built in and around houses) which I love, and very fair. Two par 5s are lay ups where the fairway runs out but even at that still reachable in two for boomers, but pay attention, you can't just bang away. I paid a discounted fee so definitely worth it, at full rate maybe a tad high but I will play it again.

Course was in great shape. Greens nice. Pace of play was fine. Lots of footgolfers.
It's grown up a lot since I started playing it in the early 90's. Trees are mature. Fun target golf. Would recommend it.

Course awareness is mandatory. For a first time player at this course, I totally enjoyed the experience. The course is like a roller coaster with dog legs, ponds, bridges, twist, turns and semi blind holes. Finesse is the name of the game, layup and lay back because the ride at Cherry Island is truly an exciting and calming experience. Welcome to the Island.

First time playing this course. Nice to have a 25yr old son golfing with you. Course was in gtreat shape. We will go back.

Excellent conditions. A great value. Cart was old.

We got I the course about 25 minutes before the round started. We waited about a half hour after our tee time to get a cart. This is the only course I've ever played where this was an issue.

The course and facilities were in good condition. However, I paid to ride and they didn't have enough carts for me and a few other patrons. When I arrived in the pro shop, I over heard a couple of golfers quitting at the turn because it took them over 3 hours to complete the front nine. Our round took us over 5 hours to complete and our group had to wait on almost every hole. Better management of the tee times and the size of groups that they let go is very much needed.

Me and some friends wanted to try this course and overall it was fun. Only complaint was that our tee time was at 12:44 but didn't tee off until around 1:10 due to there not being enough carts available. Probably wouldn't play there again but for 25$ not a bad day at all

The course is nicely maintained. It is however confusing getting around the course. Several holes wrap around one another, it can be easy loosing sense of direction. The course is surrounded by trees which provide shaded areas for cooling down.

Have played this course for years and has been going down hill every year. Place of play slow, greens ok, traps bad, very little course management. Staff give impression that they don't care. Management company should be replaced.

Greens had been punched about 2 wks before. Other than greens slow conditions were good. Played under 41/2 hours.

its been 20 plus years since i played cherry island the course has matured nicely had a great time greens were a little slow but readable 4 hour round

7am tee time worked out perfectly. Our 4 some moved along well; pace was perfect. Only concern for me was the re-placement of the white tees vs. gold tees. 15 to 20 yard difference (from a few months ago). My ego wouldnt let me move up to gold...overall the course, staff and weather we're perfect!

Verfy fun time out, was told ahead of time that greens had been punched so we expected that.

Weather was perfect, pace of play great.
