Cherry Creek - The Woods Course

Success at the Woods requires keeping your shots on course and out of the trees. An enjoyable challenge.

Worth taking the opportunity to play a round at The Woods.

Course is great shape, rough is very thick and healthy. The fairways could be cut wider. The tree lines on both sides are the real hazard on the Woods. Not playing a U S OPEN course here some fairways only 20 yards wide. Many times just had to hit 9 iron back to fairway.. Over all THE WOODS at Cherry Creek outstanding public course on Long Island.

As a first time player at The Woods I was unfamiliar with the lay of the land. I'll be better prepared next time. First, hit it straight. The first cut off the fairway is deep. A lush 4 inches deep. You'll need an extra club. The greens and fairways were in good shape. Finished round in just over 3 hours. I'll be back.

Great course. Maintenance crew have zero golf etiquette. Teeing off on 13th hole, the knucklehead cutting the tee box never stopped mowing and the guy on tractor crossed fairway 150 yards out while I teed off on 9th hole..... the dope doesn't even look or wear a helmet.

I hate to say it because I will probably never have this experience angain but I am a fair person so,..... played Sat. Morning @ 9:08am ( this was the morning after the sky opened On NY ) and the course drained exceptionally well allowing for a 3 hr round finishing at 10;30am. Mind you we were two, but I dare to ask if this could ever happen at Bethpage. You all know what I mean. See you all st Cherry Creek my friends.

The course is nice tough but fun to play.The weather caused the cart path only, and that caused a lot of walking.

the course was better than this suvey which keeps telling my tex is too short hope this is enought very nice course

Very kind staff, well maintained course, beautiful scenery. I am so happy to play here.

Staff is great, pace of play excellent.

The greens here and at the links are usually in excellent shape. This is why my rating is so low. If they would have made amends with the price because of the aeration, my rating might have been different. The greens were in horrible condition, cost me regular price and about 5 strokes.

The course is heavily tree lined. If you don't have good control over the driver this course may not be for you. The bunkers could be better maintained. The greens contain too many unfixed ball marks but they are still ok to play on. The fairways are very good. Tee boxes are good. Challenging course for middle handicappers (15 to 20). I' have a 15 index and I like the course.

Was a weekend round and caught behind an outing so pace was slow today. The staff is not only super friendly, course conditions are usually kept up well at this track. With an outing playing in front, it seems not many of them replace divots and fix ball marks. Just about on every tee box I found a lit cigarette burning the grass so it's obviously the group that was playing ahead. Despite the golf outing, it was still enjoyable. Driving from NYC from I usually look to play 36 holes on both the Woods and Links course but brutal pace and hot humid weather prevented us playing another 18. Nevertheless playing both courses is worth the drive out the eastern part of the island.

Played this course at least 7 times every year since 2010. I love this course and I hope everybody would love it too.

The greens are beautiful and the layout is challenging.

A 4 hour and 40 minute round seems even longer when you are playing a threesome behind a slow foursome. To their credit the course staff warned us before playing that there were four or five groups out there that might not have played before. The Woods is appropriately named in that almost every hole is lined with trees. They could take out half the trees and no one would notice. The fairways were pretty good considering all the trees. The greens good running at 7 to 8 on the stimp meter.

All said it will never be my first (or fourth) choice to play again.

Challenging tree lines, this course is a mental grind. Have to play smart off the tee with narrow wooded fairways.

Use this course once a month as a test on how good my game really is, Linx courses allow you to shoot well even if not hitting the ball clean off the tee, NOt the woods!

Best public course on Long Island

Narrow fairways, just relax and drive the ball straight as you can.

Played this course yesterday. Beautiful course, in excellent condition. Humbling - you must be straight. The name doesn't lie. Woods surround every hole. Staff friendly, good value.

Always love playing this course .....greens in great shape for a public course. Very nice chipping and pitching area.
