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.

Flynn was raised outside Boston, where he competed against Francis Ouimet in school golf matches. His golf career started at Merion when he was part of the construction team on today's East course.
