HAVE FUN ON THE NORTH FORK, NEW YORK

The North Fork is golfer's paradise with many golf courses all within a short driving distance.
 Island End Golf and Country Club
http://www.islandsendgolf.com
Island’s End Golf & Country Club is a semi-private course located in the heart of Wine Country on the North Fork of Long Island.
The 6,700 yard layout runs from the Main Road, North to where the signature par 3, 16th hole graces the shores of Long Island Sound. From this vista you can see the shores of Connecticut, or up and down the coast of Long Island. The hole itself is a challenging 185 yards. At times you may battle stiff winds coming off the water to a rolling right to left green.

Cherry Creek "The Links and The Woods" are located on the East End of Long Island in Riverhead, not far from the famous North Fork vineyards. We are several miles from the enormous Tanger Mall.
The Links and The Woods courses are located directly across the street from one another. They are two distinctly different types of courses offering the very best in design and condition. The Links - a par 73 layout, had beautiful elevated tees and long generous lush fairways. Our famous 18th hole is a 644-yard par 6... a challenging hole for an exciting finish. The Woods - a par 71, is an alluring track consisting of rolling tree-lined fairways, winding doglegs and manmade ponds. It is a shot-makers delight.
FISHING
The waters surrounding the North Fork abound with a wide variety of fish, historic sites, and breathtaking seascapes. While we are increasingly known for huge fluke and trophy striped bass, many other species offer the enthusiastic angler exciting challenges and lifelong memories.
Our fishing boats sail from Southhold, Greenport, and Orient Point, offer some of the finest fishing on the East Coast. Professionally qualified Coast Guard licensed Captains, with decades of experience, are committed to making your fishing experience exciting, enjoyable and fulfilling. All in all the North Fork is an excellent family vacation value, as well as a Great Place to Fish.
