Working hard to improve
This is one of my favorite courses in North Alabama but it has taken some hits over the years and the current management Barclay and his crew are working hard to get it back. The sandtraps need sand (not all) there is some erosion on the course and some of the greens have suffered from the heat. All of that said, the course still plays well and the greens are not really bad. Every time I have gone out there in the past year I have seen improvements.
Thank you for the great feedback! We love hearing from you and are glad you had a good experience. We would love the opportunity to bump those 4 stars to 5. We hope you will come back soon so we can WOW you on your next visit. Until then, take care!

Greta course.
Great course. In great shape. A couple of greens had some bad spots, but the shaft made sure it was playable. Ball rolled very good. I will be back.

Beautiful and challenging course. Condition of the course was very good. The greens were in fair shape. People need to fix ball marks. A couple of bunkers were under repair but overall an excellent layout, friendly and helpful staff. I would highly recommend this course.

Slow play
We quit after 9 holes because of the groups ahead of
us were very very slow. They look like beginners . We
went around them but ran into more slow beginners .
The groups spend a lot of time looking for balls in
woods , water and rough .
It took us 3 hours to play 9 holes .

After the Rain
Course was wet, but didn't require cart path only. Greens and fairways were in good condition overall, but had a few bad spots. Sand traps were in poor condition and really need some serious attention. Very few players, felt like we had the course to ourselves. Probably due to forecast for thunderstorms that didn't show up! Friendly staff and really fun layout. Worth the extra driving to play this course. I will play again.

Challenging yet fair
I have played this course several times since it has become open to the public. Beautiful course. Greens roll great. A wonderful sight for your next golf outing.

Beautiful scenery and really nice layout
This course has some really great challenging holes. It seemed to have a lot of holes that you had to hit your drives with a hook or fade. It has a lot of water running beside the holes, but it didn’t seem to come in play too much. It has a lot of sand traps, but they were not well kept and we decided to just pull our balls out of them . Overall I would definitely go back.

Another round, similar experience.
This course has a great layout, providing challenging golf to every level of player. The drawback is that it shows signs of distress: greens are spotty, cart paths are uneven and in need of repair, there is water seeping throughout many of the fairways, the ball washers were empty of water and so are the water cooler stations. If you want to work on your game, give it a try. If you want a great experience with friends, this may not be the best choice. But at the Hot Deal price, it's worth it!

Simply beautiful
This beautiful course was already mostly green and most of the greens have already healed from spring punching. With minor imperfections they rolled fast and true. As this is a true test of golf skill bring your best game or forget about your card and just enjoy the unique country setting. How many golf courses have a waterfall visible from three different holes. When anywhere near north alabama you must play this one.

Course has improved since last Fall, but it needs to improve a lot more. Greens are better but not great. Sand traps are totally unplayable.

We would love the opportunity to bump those 4 stars to 5. We hope you will come back soon so we can really WOW you on your next visit. Until then, take care!
Beautiful day for Golf
Course has improved since last Fall, but it has s long way to go, Greens are much better, but they are much too hard. Sand traps are unplayable.

Beautiful day for a round of golf!
One of the courses I'm willing to make the drive for. Interesting layout, good condition, makes you think on every shot. I just wish it wasn't soggy everytime I play there! I look forward to playing it when it's dry. It'll be fun!

Beautiful Course with Challegens
Cherokee Ridge is one of my favorite courses; always in good shape, great layout, and friendly, helpful, and courteous staff. The greens had not fully recovered from the annual aeroation at the time we played the course, but were still playable. Cherokee Ridge is among the best golf courses in the area.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Cherokee Ridge Country Club thanks you!
