Cedars Golf Club

Cedars Golf Club sits in Cutchogue on the North Fork of Long Island, a region known more for its vineyards and farm stands than for golf. Designed by Russel Case and opened in the early 1990s, the course occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of this eastern Long Island landscape, where the land transitions between agricultural fields and the coastal plain approaching Peconic Bay. The routing takes advantage of modest elevation changes and incorporates natural vegetation that gives the course its name. The layout presents a straightforward test of golf without dramatic features, reflecting both the site's topography and the practical design approach common to daily-fee courses of its era. Fairways are generally open, though mature trees and strategic bunkering require accurate shot placement. The greens vary in size and contour, providing the primary defense alongside length from the back tees. Cedars operates as a public facility serving both local residents and visitors to the North Fork, a destination increasingly popular for weekend getaways from New York City. The course fits into the region's quieter, rural character, offering a contrast to the more heavily trafficked courses closer to the metropolitan area. It remains a functional option for golfers exploring the eastern end of Long Island, where course options are fewer than in the Hamptons to the south or the more densely developed western portions of the island.
