About
Cherry Hills Golf Course sprawls across gently rolling countryside in Sturgeon Bay. The layout tumbles across a variety of elevation changes that make for some challenging, hard-to-read greens. Some have even compared them to Pinehurst's famous greens. Be prepared to have your short-game skills thoroughly tested. The front nine is slightly more forgiving than the back nine where the fairways are narrower and many are lined with out-of-bounds stakes. Water hazards come into play one four holes and there are a few strategically placed sand traps. The golf course is challenging but fair and not too intimidating for beginners, especially since at just over 6,200 yards, it is a manageable length. In addition to the course, there is also a lighted driving range at Cherry Hills G.C.

You get what you pay for
My wife & I were looking to play a round while on vacation and the price at Cherry Hills was very good. Check in was efficient & friendly as were the other golfers on the course. This course can be challenging at times as there are several holes (such as # 1) where there's a narrow fairway and a high grass rough in which it's very difficult to find your ball. Overall you get what you pay for. The course conditions aren't great and it doesn't appear much investment is happening. Greens were OK but this is more of a course for a family teaching the kids to golf. Nice folks though.
Great course and challenging.
The course is great. The fairways and greens are in pretty good shape. It is challenging due to the layout with changes in elevation throughout the course. I would play it again.
Interesting
The course has a nice design. It is pretty hilly so walking would be a challenge. The greens were average size and slow because of undulation. Fairways small but playable. It was a windy day so it was easy to get in trouble off the tee. Some pretty nice views though and a few memorable holes. Would play again.
a good deal
I paid $15 to ride on this course, so it was a great deal. I think this course needs to win back players after a number of years of it being in terrible condition. I saw improvement, so I will return if they offer a great deal, not just a good deal.
Course is steadily improving
The new ownership is making great efforts to bring the course back to its former prominence. The greens are in nice shape and the fairways are decent. An enjoyable course and is steadily improving!
Interesting course.
This was a nice, somewhat challenging course. You have to know where to place your shots because of the lay of the fairways which I will know the next time I play. The course was dry (lack of rain) but not their fault. I thought the greens were excellent. I will play there again.
Great course for the locals........
The course just wasn't up to my expectations for the Door County area. The signage directing me to the course was poor. No clue as to where to park, other than the hotel parking lot. No signs pointing to the pro shop. The staff was friendly and helpful as to describing the course quirkiness. Tee boxes were small and poor at best. The fairways just weren't distinguishable from the rough. The greens were in decent shape. If this course needs good examples then check out Alaska golf course and Northbrook CC.
good to see open again.
This course was closed for a few years and is now reopened. Is in good shape but still needs some work to get back where it was when it was at it's best. I will play it again soon.
Goodt timeh
Always wanted to play here. My wife and had a good time. Greens were in great shape!
Nice course, great location
This corse was a great find, I can't wait to play it this summer when the course is in regular season condition. Beautiful landscape, nice people, good carts.
fun course to play
I was looking for a reasonably priced course to play on Door County and saw a couple of tee times available for what a cart alone would cost. After reading other reviews that this course was on its way back after some financial problems I decided to give it a try. It was very scenic, the fairways were decent, and the greens were breaky but slow. The rough was long and weedy as were the tees. Would definitely play here again.
like the elevated tee boxes
course was in great condition ,green fairways challenging greens .love this course
Cherry Hills on the Upswing
I've played this course over the past 20 years and the last few were pretty tough as far as conditions and quality. Happily, the course has pulled a 180 under the current management. Too bad reviews from 2011-2013 can't be removed.
The course is set on a hillside, so expect few level shots. Elevations also offer nice views and good drainage. Even after a ton of rain, the course was well-drained and in great shape. Fairways and greens are well maintained and trimmed. The deep rough is just that- keep the ball in sight of forget about it.
The course is good for intermediate to experienced golfers, though there is plenty of room for beginners. Par 4s offer good birdie chances, as none are too long. Overall, this is a fun course that plays fast and is an exceptional bargain. My guess is it won't be long before crowds come back. It's a very nice course
It's almost back to best ever
There is a new general manager of this facility who has done wonders with the total operation. Greens have recovered significantly from the past three years. The Lodge is open and the bar/grill is in full operation on a regular schedule. This is a great resort complex with the most reasonable prices in all of Door County. The front nine is open with rolling terrain while the back nine is partially wooded. This course is worth your exploration, you will enjoy your experience. All greens have a "break" toward Lake Michigan.
Coming back
Cherry Hills golf course has fallen on hard times but new management is starting to bring back the fun resort golf facility. Neglected repairs are being completed and course conditions are improving on a daily basis. All putts still break toward Lake Michigan.
