[edit] Geography

Cherry Creek Golf Links is a scenic links-style course with rolling fairways and elevated tees and greens situated in Riverhead out on the eastern end of Long Island. The course is only 1 mile south from the Long Island Sound and 10 miles north of the Atlantic Ocean which puts wind into a factor including the flat open fields and wineries that are around the course. The course designed by Charles Jurgens can stretch to 7187 yards with a par of 73. The fairways are generous and long with water coming into play on four of the 18 holes.

The Signature Hole is the 12th, a 389-yard par 4 that plays from an elevated tee to a narrow, sloping fairway with a pond on the right. The Par 6 18th Hole, which is the only par 6 in the New York Metropolitan Area stretches 644 yards when played from the tips and ties for the longest hole in the Metropolitan Area.
