Cherokee Run Golf Club

I used to play here a lot. The course is in great shape considering the recent drought this area has been in. The greens were perfect by most standards-deep green color, very few bare spots and rolling nicely. The fairways are still coming out of dormancy (as it is everywhere in Conyers) but they’re receptive and offer great lies to hit from. There are some fairways that have large bare spots but, your ball should be in these areas anyway ;-). I would love to see the bunker sand replaced or refreshed. Otherwise, I highly recommend this course. You won’t be disappointed.

Virtually all greens were nicely cut and rolled at fairly consistent speeds. Many of the traps had very good sand which I can vouch for from first hand experience on multiple holes.

Staff is always friendly, fair price for the course, conditions steadily improving, love the layout.

Staff friendly, greens in good shape, fairways needs lots of work (weed control lacking). Ground crew needs to move off the fairways when player are hitting ( it’s hard to hear four in the middle of the fairways with the mowers running!!!!

Such a great course in every way. Beautiful, flawless greens, amazing staff and challenging golf. For me it is a 45+minute drive- but always worth it!

Fairways are so hard this time around coz of no rains. Greens very fair and undulating as always.

We need some rain.. ball is running forever which makes the course harder

Greens are always amazingly good and fast

It was hard to put a tee in the ground on many holes..

Drove 1 1/2 hours to play here for Masters Week at Masters Week rates. Driving past 18th, I thought we were in for a treat. Maintenance team was fluffing new white sand in bunkers around 18th green. Clubhouse and grill were amazing. Practice area was great.

Teed off and by the second hole, knew we had been duped. Greens were fine. Tee boxes had no grass and were sandy. Bunkers were Georgia clay red with no sand. Didn’t expect fairways to have much grass w/o spring rain, so that was no surprise.

All in all, disappointed.

Last time I played this course was 25 years ago. Back then, it was one of the top public courses in the Greater Atlanta Area. The course layout is absolutely phenomenal. Beautifully designed holes, few if any structures on the course, so extremely natural and pleasing to the eye on an amazing piece of property. Staff is extremely friendly, welcoming and accommodating.

However, the tee boxes were consistently hardpan and many had almost no grass at all. The fairways were severely burned out and nearly impossible to make sound contact if you could hit them from the tee boxes. Runouts on tee shots were insane … 40-60+ yards, which sounds great for distance, but incredibly frustrating playing mostly sharp doglegs and placement shots. I understand from the staff that there’s been quite a dry season here, but it was obvious that they’re not watering the course at all, other than the putting surfaces. Greens were pretty good, true and receptive if you could hit them.

I was visiting with a friend from out of town and I recommended Cherokee Run from my past experience long ago. I was pretty embarrassed when we got there how bad the conditions were. Too bad and hopefully this is just a temporary issue, but from what I could see, it will take a ton of work to make this the course it used to be.

Really nice course, greens were in great shape. Definitely not a beginners course.

My first time playing and exceeded my expectations. It’s a challenging course layout undulating greens. Friendly staff made me feel welcome.
