Philadelphia’s eastern suburbs actually lie in New Jersey, and thus the region enjoys all the benefits of the Philadelphia School that bloomed during the Golden Age of golf course architecture. Woodcrest Country Club was blessed with such a design from William Flynn and constructed by his associate Howard Toomey.

Flynn was not afraid to confront water features as part of his designs, and that certainly rings true at Woodcrest. Both the opening hole and the fourth hole involve multiple creek crossings, and the stream that crosses the entire property will return later during the back nine. Maxing out at 6,500 yards, accuracy is the main defense at Woodcrest, with trees guarding the fairways and small greens requiring pinpoint targeting upon approach.

Woodcrest Country Club sits in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, but the name Cherry Hill Country Club never would have done, due to the inevitable confusion that would come with comparisons to Flynn's more famous Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver.

Description: Set out within a 178-acre property, the course at Woodcrest Country Club is a William Flynn design which was constructed by his associate Howard Toomey in 1929. Narrow fairways and an imaginative routing combine to keep golfers alert around here. Rating: 5 out of 10 Reviews: 1

I just played Woodcrest in mid October 2020. I had played here previously as my son was a member here some time ago. The course had some difficulty for much of the past decade or so. I didn't know what to expect upon my revisit. I was amazed. The course was in fabulous shape. It has a good mix of holes and has a fabulous finisher in a par 5. The day we were there was it's last day as a public course. It was changing back to private. When my son was there about 2008, it was private then. But as a fairly expensive remodeling of the clubhouse was undertaken without full membership consent...Many got up and walked away. And then the troubles ensued. But right now, the club seems in good shape both physically and politically. It's a nice day out.
