Golfer Reviews
Great Day
Fairways are too long. if you high ball you get no roll.
The rough is about 4 - 6 inches thick.
You should have one not both. Course plays long.
Excellent value good course friendly staff
Great value on north fork of Long Island. The staff is very friendly, the course was in excellent condition, greens were in very good shape and rolling true. The restaurant was good too, played as a threesome and we played just under 4 hours. Will be back!
the rough was too rough
The rough was so thick I had to move the ball
Otherwise it was .
Course was challenging but needs attention
Enjoyable, play moved quickly. Great value but the course was pretty beat up
Beautiful course BUT......
Because this course has a lot of trees, and some of fairways are not very wide, it is not a great place to play fall golf. Many fairways AND greens had a lot of leaves, which made putting difficult, and in some instances, it was impossible to find the ball, even on the fairway, and near the green. The links course across the street would have been a much better play. But I would come back to this course spring and summer.
nice course to play..good layout of holes
Too many leaves on or near the fairway. Hard to find your golf ball. Course needs to blow the leaves of the fairway and into the deeper rough. Gets frustrating when you can't find you ball .
Nice course. Would play again.
Nice course. Not overly long with nice greens. All in all it was an enjoyable experience. Will be playing again.
Great course
Trees on both sides of the fairway but not to narrow that it makes it to difficult. Raised greens with hazards in just the right places makes you think a little. Can't wait to play there again.
Very Narrow
Although affiliated with Links course across the street, the course is very different in style.
Woods has practice green and a club house, but you need to go to the driving range at the Links course to warm up.
As the name suggests, the course has many trees that seem to overhang already narrow fairways, and places premium on straight shots. Any wind will further complicate the matter.
The course was little bit beat up and greens bit slow, but the layout was interesting enough and a pleasant experience overall.
Still great even at the end of the season !!!
I always enjoy playing here. There's just something about this course that fits me. I can't put my finger on the exact reason. Maybe it's the layout, the course conditions, the mix of water and narrow fairways with beautiful scenery. I think the friendly staff adds alot to the overall experience but there's just a certain "vibe" that this course has that I really like.Even after they aerated the greens it was still one of the most pleasant rounds I played this year !
This course is an excellent golf choice if you are looking for a public course on Eastern Long Island.
The Woods at Cherry Creek is the sister course to the Links at Cherry Creek, across the street. The Woods is aptly named for its tree-lined fairways, but despite the abundant shade the fairways and greens were in superb condition when we played in August. The course is scenic, challenging, but very playable. The course is generous to beginning and intermediate fairways because of the wide fairways, reachable from the intermediate tees without the endless carries that you sometimes see on courses these days. Great place to play and enjoy a round.
Great course to play!
Great course to play! Will be one I play again. Friendly staff.
The Woods over the Links
I played this course early on a Friday morning. We went out as a twosome and played in 3.5 hours. I play this course at least once a year and it never disappoints.
The staff is friendly and attentive. Carts are ready and clean. One downside is driving range is across the road.
The course design/layout is great. A good mix of doglegs, straight, long, short, uphill and downhill holes. Water is in play on some of the holes other holes have tress overhanging near greens or on corner of approach shots BUT it is called the WOODS! If you are not straight, don't break out that new sleeve of balls.
In my opinion, this course has more character than its older sibling across the road. It is a must play at least once a year. I wish it was closer to home.
Narrow
Golf now had $27 on a Monday at 11:30, got done with 1 other person in a little over 3 hours. It was overcast with chance of rain so the course was pretty empty. Played from the tips had some 470+ par 4's with the narrow fairways made it very difficult. If you're not straight bring a couple sleeves of balls. Course was in pretty good shape and with the wetness greens held well. Definitely play this over the course across the street if you can.
