Great layout but...

I love the layout of the course but it needs a lot of work. They put in new greens and are working on the tee boxes, but there is very little living grass in the fairways. Also drive your cart very slow, the cart paths are in rough shape. I hope they keep working on it. I would play there a lot if it was in great shape.

True test for putting

We got behind a “sixsome”. After 5 holes we played thru.

Very hilly fairways. Greens were in great shape, tricky to putt if you don’t play them a lot.

Some fairways had dead areas. Will go back in a month to see if the fairways come back. Hole 10 is a monster!!!

Very friendly staff.

9 in before the flood

Undortunately we only got 9 holes in before the deluge of rain. The front 9 was nice with a good layout. Tee boxes were under maintenance but plenty of room to tee off. Green’s were in very good condition. Range balls with the purchase of the round was nice.

Maintenance Already On It

Like many courses in North Alabama, Cherokee Ridge was hit with Winter Kill due to the freeze in January. The tee boxes effected has already began the process of re-sodding. Greens are perfect and layout in unmatched. Definitely worth the trip.

Get the course up to at least last year's standards!

Diseased tee boxes, weedy rough, spotchy fairway grass at $75? A round?

The monthly membership fee is fair... barely ...but last year it was under $40 to play with a member and now it's $55 and the course is in worse shape.

Like many courses in the area Cherokee Ridge was hit with winter kill due to the freeze in January. 40 pallets of sod being brought in to replace winter killed tee boxes and surrounding areas.

Worth the drive and the price

You place this club in any metro area and it’s easily $200. I play RTJ regularly and definitely prefer Cherokee Ridge every time.

Lack of Maintenance last Winter / Rising Prices

I really have nothing but good things to say about the staff and the facilities. The course however has really taken a turn over the last year. I played here multiple times last year and loved it. We had a very wet winter here and it seems that the course has just not recovered. Other courses have dealt with the same weather so it’s hard to give Cherokee a break. The tee boxes and fairways have seen better days but you can make up for it with the greens. Should be $40 all day and used to be $60 for mornings, now it’s an easy $80 with worse playing conditions.

drove down from Nashville for a practice round for an upcoming event. payed full price in the morning and the lady running the pro shop was great. got done and inquired about possibly running another 18. 2 kids running the pro shop at that time said it would be another hour and 10 before we could tee off again. putted for 30 minutes and watched exactly 1 golfer go off one tee. with course conditions like they are I would stay away for now.

Amazing Track

It's off the beaten path just outside Huntsville, but definitely worth the trip. Greens were as good as I've seen in this area. Stephanie in the pro shop was a peach.
