Detailed description of Woodcrest Country Club

Woodcrest Country Club is an 18-hole golf course located in the Woodcrest section of Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Previously private, the course resumed operations in 2013 as a public course.

The course opened in 1929 and was originally a 9-hole course in 1930. An additional 9 holes were added in 1931. The course was designed by William S. Flynn & Howard C. Toomey

Originally a public course when it first opened, Woodcrest turned private in 1948 and became a haven for Jewish golfers in the area who were snubbed by other clubs.

The course has narrow fairways lined with pine trees, and the undulating greens are small and fast.

Woodcrest filed for bankruptcy on May 9, 2012 to stave off Sun Bank's move to put the club up for a sheriff's sale. Sun Bank claims they are owed $10.67 million, which the club disputes, in Woodcrest's bankruptcy filing, Sun Bank financed an $8 million clubhouse project that is at the heart of the club's financial troubles.

Woodcrest Country Club closed in 2012 put resumed operations in 2013 as a public course.
