About this course

The course is not just a venue; it’s a hub where camaraderie flourishes against a backdrop of demanding, yet accessible, play. Designed in the late 1960s, Cherry Valley is a classic parkland layout that meanders through mature trees and gently undulating terrain. While not exceedingly long by modern standards, the course favors strategic play over brute force. Doglegs and cleverly placed bunkers require careful consideration off the tee, and the subtly contoured greens demand a deft touch.

Getting there

Cherry Valley Country Club lies in the rolling countryside of Skillman, New Jersey, roughly an hour's drive southwest of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) or ninety minutes from the private aviation gateway at Teterboro (TEB). The route traces a gentle arc through central New Jersey's horse country, where the suburban sprawl of the I-95 corridor gradually yields to stone walls, open pasture, and the wooded estates of Somerset County. The final miles along quiet country roads feel deliberately removed from the turnpike hum, delivering you to Cherry Valley's discreet entrance with the unhurried grace befitting one of the region's most private enclaves.
