Fairways and greens play great.

The grounds staff at Cherokee may be the only staff who know how to grow and maintain fairway grass in northern Alabama. Fairways are excellent. Lies are generally good, allowing one to properly strike the golf ball.

Beautiful course

An absolutely beautiful course. I will definitely be back. My only issue was there were no silhouettes of the holes at the tee box. Since it was my first time it was difficult to know the layout prior to teeing off.

Great day playing The Ridge. Staff hustled to get carts to us and although we started a little late the pace of play was very good. Love the amenities too including a clinic and Srixon demo

Driving range

We had a tee-time at 2:40. We arrived at 2:10 in order to practice at the driving range before start. We were told that the range balls was on the range. When we got to the range there were no balls. I went back to the pro shop and told the lady there were no balls. She said “sorry” but we have no one that can gather balls. We went to the greens.

First time, but not the last time.

Was our first time playing, from Michigan, on a golf spring break with my HS Senior Son. I would call it a great find! Was charged twilight rate at a 2:10 tee time.

First thing-greeted by staff in pro shop like I was a member and one of the local guys,(my preference) and offered great info/insight. Great “vibe” in clubhouse.

At end of round-we played behind another staff member and caught up with him at cart drop off- we chatted at length about the course, our rounds, other great courses, etc. great impressions at each end our visit.

These 2 things alone would have me coming back again.

Beyond that, this course is magnificent-challenging and rewarding, Course knowledge is helpful and they provided us with a nice course guide to help. We had golf app and range finders, as well. We also had time to drive up to look at blind shots, as there are a few.

Not many surprises. Greens were nice for spring golf Tif Eagle I think. It plays through a nice neighborhood, but houses really don’t encroach on course too much- good for all I would say, and some of the natural features are special . Similar to some of our Northern Michigan Courses….most are presently covered with snow.

Choose appropriate tees to play from and everyone should have fun. Would recommend taking a golf cart.

This course is certainly bookmarked for me!

Abysmal Pace of Play

Set tee time using GolfNow. At course told 2 others were to play with me. Looked they took off ahead of tee time and me. Course had no starter, no marshal as usual and usually not a problem.

I love the course, but on this day after an hour to play 3 holes, I quit and went home. I'm not a fan of 5- 6 hour rounds. If this is the norm here or anywhere, I'll quit the game and take up something else.
