Riverhead sits at the fork where Long Island splits into its twin forks — the Hamptons-bound South Fork and the more agricultural, quieter North Fork — and Cherry Creek Golf Links occupies this transitional stretch of Suffolk County where the island begins to feel genuinely rural. The surrounding landscape is flat to gently rolling, marked by potato farms, vineyards, and scrubby pine barrens, and that open, unhurried character tends to carry right onto the course.
The "Links" in the name signals an intention toward open, ground-game-friendly design — fairways exposed to the wind that funnels off the nearby Peconic Bay corridor, where conditions can shift the playing experience considerably from morning to afternoon. A par of 73 is a small but telling detail: somewhere on this layout there's an extra par 5 that adds up to a slightly more generous card than a standard 72, which tends to suit recreational play.
Riverhead itself has become a day-trip destination drawing golfers who combine a round with North Fork wine trails and farm stands — making Cherry Creek a natural anchor for a relaxed Long Island outing rather than a white-knuckle test.
