Riverhead, NY

The Woods at Cherry Creek is an 18-hole public course on the East End of Long Island in Riverhead, New York, near North Fork vineyards and area shopping. The course was designed by the firm of Young & Young and plays as a par-71 track through rolling, tree-lined terrain. Fairways wind through wooded corridors with winding doglegs, and seven holes play alongside sculpted ponds, putting a premium on accuracy over raw length. The course is generally considered a shot-maker's layout, with tighter driving areas than its sister course, Cherry Creek, located nearby. The facility is open to public play and offers a pro shop, practice areas for putting and short game, membership packages, and a restaurant and bar. It caters to golfers of varying skill levels while placing more demand on ball-striking than some neighboring East End courses.

Riverhead, NY

Indian Island Golf Course is an 18-hole public course in Riverhead, New York, on Long Island's North Fork, set along the Peconic River. The par-3 5th hole overlooks the river, with bunkers and Saw Mill Brook framing a large, undulating green, and several holes run along the water. The course was designed by William F. Mitchell and opened in 1972. It plays to 6,506 yards from the longest tees with a par of 72, and the two nines offer noticeably different character, one more open and one tighter along the river corridor. Owned by Suffolk County, the course is public and operated with a pro shop and driving range open until dusk. Lessons, club fitting, and a restaurant on site support regular play, and a green key or county registration is generally required to book tee times.
