Amazing!

This is mine and my son’s favorite course. The staff are always helpful, pricing is great, and the scenery is great! Don’t miss out on this place. We drive almost an hour, passing several great golf courses, to come play the Ridge. We also host our church’s Men’s Golf Group here. Great job, guys!

Wet course but knew it before arriving.

Course was wet due to torrential rain in the moth of 5/25. Greens were in exceptional shape. Few issues with a couple fairways but the groundskeeper was sodding some of the fairways. First time to play here. Beautiful and challenging layout but quite scenic to say the least. Booked on GN and thought the pricing was decent. Be back to play when it dries out. Nice staff and enjoyed it!!!!!

Hard but fair

This course could be in much better overall shape. The bunkers were not playable may be blamed on the recent weather, but after pairing up with a member on 14 he confirmed that the course has taken a nose dive. I started just after 5 and was just able to finish before dusk so it can be played fast. The layout is real tight so you have to place shots and have prior course knowledge or you’ll end up in a lot of trouble like I did. I’d play it again just for having some more knowledge about the troubles that lies ahead.

Good outing

Cherokee Ridge has always been a favorite of mine, however, the course was in the poorest condition I’ve seen it in over the past 10 years playing here! There are patches in the fairway and around the greens where the grass is nonexistent! They are working on it but at the players expense! Hole #10, the signature Par 5, has been reduced to a par 3!!! What a let down!! Guys, I expected better and you can do better!

Greens were good.

Needs a lot of work to cart paths & bare spots everywhere on fairways.
