What Cherry Valley Club does

Cherry Valley Club is a private membership country club founded in 1916 in Garden City, New York, operating a single ~145-acre campus at 28 Rockaway Avenue in Nassau County, Long Island. The club's core offerings center on a Devereux Emmet-designed 18-hole golf course (6,843 yards, course rating 73.6, slope 136), six red clay tennis courts and four lighted championship platform tennis courts, a 37,624 sq ft Ballard-designed clubhouse, and full food and beverage operations led by Executive Chef Kevin Chun.

The club generates revenue from four primary streams: recurring membership dues (subscription), private event hosting (corporate functions, banquets, celebrations in multiple clubhouse venue spaces), golf outings for businesses and non-profits, and racquets programming (leagues, clinics, private lessons under Head Racquets Professional Andrew Chan). Member acquisition is direct-to-consumer via the club website, phone inquiries, and member referrals, with no third-party distribution channels. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with traditional private club practice.

Operationally, the club is led by General Manager Craig Henne with a staff of 11-50 employees. Its brand is anchored by historical prestige — including hosting the 1927 U.S. Women's Amateur Championship — and by its central Nassau County location serving the Long Island affluent residential market. There is no parent company, no external investor or PE involvement disclosed, and no AI/ML technology component; digital infrastructure consists of a Clubessential-powered website and a basic member login portal.
