Beautiful course

This golf course is absolutely stunning. Easily one of the most aesthetically pleasing courses I've played so far. It was challenging but never unfair, lots of elevation change that made every hole interesting. The staff is exceptional, especially to first time guests. We will definitely be back in the near future for more golf.

Great track!

The course was really wet, but they have received a ton of rain in the weeks leading up to my round. Course is a unique design with a lot of challenging holes. It was early in the season, but I’m confident this course will be in fantastic shape once the warm weather kicks in. Definitely going back to play again!

Getting Better,.

They greens are getting better,. Bunkers were in good shape, and they were the best I ever seen since I being playing out there.,, The Par 5s out there are all challenging,. And the first hole might be hardest hole on the course.

Windy, Cold and Windy

We enjoyed our round despite tough weather conditions. The course was very wet and CPO. Greens were in very good condition. Other than wet, the fairways were in good shape for winter. Sand traps were unplayable. We noticed good number of maintenance staff working on the course while we were playing. Club house is getting a bit run down and needs some TLC. A fun course that is unexpected from it's out of the way location.

Super fun, players course.

I love this course and play when ever I come to the Huntsville area. Great layout with challenging tee shots and approaches. Knowing where to hit your tee shot is a must. Greens are decent but a little firm. For bent grass greens the ball did not check up as well as some. All the par threes are pretty easy. Some tight 4s.

Great course! But the layout should be switched back to 10th being the 1st hole. Greens and bunkers need more attention.

Great Challenging Course!

This is a great challenging course! The Greens could use more attention. That course deserves better care. It's has a beautiful water fall which is spectacular. The reason I rated the course layout so poor is because the 1st hole should be the 10th hole. Plus it's a par5 and most layouts don't start with a par 5 which demands very different approach shot! But over all,.. This course is a hidden gem!

North Alabama jewel

Cherokee Ridge has a great course layout in a beautiful rural setting. Dedicated maintenance is bringing the greens back from the stressing summer heat damage. I wished I lived in the community so I could play every day.

Improving

First time I had played here this year due to the comments about the greens. Overall, the course was in very good shape, especially the fairways. Of course, the layout is stellar and the scenery great. The greens were not perfect with several bad spots on each, but outside of those, they were fine and putted well. The greens are NOT a reason to stay away.

Go Play! It’s the best public- accessible course in North Alabama!

Looking good

Anyone who has played this course, knows the direction it was heading in the last few years. They are working hard to bring it back and even if you just played a few weeks ago, you would be amazed at the progress they have made. The greens are looking great, the fairways are immaculate.

Needs some rain

The course had a great layout and I aesthetically pleasing. The greens were in rough shape, probably due to the lack of rain in the area. The fairways were in great shape, I wish that I used them more in the round.
