About
Nestled amongst the gently rolling hills of Rockdale County, Cherokee Run Golf Club lies within the Georgia International Horse Park. Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay designed the course. Occupied for centuries by the Cherokee Indians, dozens of arrowheads were found in the Georgian red clay as the golf course was being built. The beautiful landscape is covered in granite outcroppings, native wetlands, and dense hardwood forests. The towering trees line the fairways and the steep inclines throughout the course provide fast, undulating greens. Water hazards come into play on six holes at Cherokee Run Golf Club and there are nearly 100 strategically placed bunkers. The course's signature hole is the par-3 third. This challenging hole demands an accurate tee shot in order to safely make it past the sand bunkers that border both sides of the fairway.

Golfer Reviews
Nice course....soooo slow
I landed in ATL for a military trip with my kiddo, I wanted to get a quick round in before we headed to our destination and we were only able to play 11 holes and it was almost 3hrs in, we didn't finish and it wasn't getting any faster. We had to leave. This was on a Tuesday @ 2pm also so that's insane
Course has been in better shape.
Condition has been much better in the past but still a good course. Pace was awful, people in front were terrible, no clue and no ethics. First 9 holes took 3 hours and no Marshall anywhere.
Take the day off
The course was in decent shape, it took 2.5hrs for my son and I to play 10 holes. We ended up leaving the course after 11 holes because the pace brutal
Greens are fiery
Played The Run on 9/27. The greens were running quite fast. This is always a tough course where you have to bring your A Game, especially when the greens are this quick.
I did notice a few recent changes arguably made to eliminate bunker issues and maybe soften up the course a bit. The bunkers behind 12 were converted to grass bunkers. This makes sense because it was extremely difficult to keep adequate sand in those due to the sloped terrain. I have actually putted out of those bunkers previously vs trying to hit a soft shot from hard pan sand.
Same situation with the bunkers on the left of the fairway in the approach area on 3. Those were removed entirely. They often suffered the same issue and would get washed out due to the steep slope.
Trim the trees and you’re golden
Great course overall. Fast greens in good shape, fluffy bunkers and reasonable condition tee boxes (most are great, a few are poor conditions/hard as rock)
Only feedback is that there are several tee boxes where poorly maintained trees are obstructing common paths for a tee shot. I realize this can be part of the challenge but in at least a few cases it seemed unreasonable.
Challenging, Fun Course
Very challenging course with lots of elevation changes. Fast, undulating greens. Excellent zoysia fairways. A couple quirky holes, but I plan to play it again.
Mr Dee
Course is too much for seniors. Too hilly. Price is too high. Course kart paths need repair. Some vegetation needs to be removed from kart paths. Didn’t see many golfers on the course.
Hidden gem
Tell ya folks if ya end the area within a hour of Atlanta ya need to visit this place. Rolling hills elevation changes great practice facility and dinning. Wonderful employees from the pro shop to the dinning staff to the Marshalls. Ya will not find a better course especially for the price.
Cherokee Run
Played Cherokee Run yesterday and had a great experience. The course was in excellent condition overall. A couple of the tee boxes could use a little attention, but that was the only minor issue I noticed.
The greens had just been aerated, so I can’t hold that against them. Even so, they were in good shape and should be rolling great once they fully recover. The course is challenging without being overly difficult, making it a fun and rewarding round from start to finish. Hot deal prices are well worth it!
The clubhouse also has a nice bar and restaurant, which was a great place to relax after the round. Overall, this is a well-maintained course with a great layout, and I’ll definitely be back.
Course needs water
A little disappointed after reading previous reviews. A lot of brown areas due to lack of water. Some tee boxes hard & fairways not like in past w/ good lies on the zoysia grass. Greens best part but keep it below hole or you’ll be having a fast putt. Got a GN deal, would not pay regular rate. The course has been in better shape in the past. Also pace of play slow, waiting on a lot of shots. They had a starter but no marshaling during play
Cherokee Run
Have to admit that I love the course layout here. The overall conditions were average at beat with some spot a little rough in the fairways and on certain tee boxes. The green were firm but a little shaggy the day I played. Definitely be below the hole but expect some slow putts. Lot of grain to the greens don’t made reading and putting a bit difficult having not played here in a good while. Staff is great!
Solid Course
Greens - pure with good pace and rollout
Fairways - good shape minus near cart paths
Tees - decent shape for July in Georgia
Staff - very helpful and friendly
It’s worth the drive to Conyers. Hope to play again later in the summer!!
Great course
3rd time playing here. Always enjoy this course. Will be back.
