Surrounded by rolling hills, Cherokee Valley Golf Club has a beautiful setting and temperate climate that draws visitors from all over the state. It feels peacefully tucked away but the course is only minutes from downtown Greenville's attractions. The challenging layout features eleven lakes and more than 50 strategically placed bunkers. The dramatic elevation changes provide even more challenges. It is seemingly a very intimidating golf course but the wide fairways and clean rough make it much more forgiving than it looks. The fifth hole is the golf course's signature. There is a beautiful cascading waterfall on this hole as well as a stunning view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Cherokee Valley G.C. is known almost as much for its practice facility as it is for the golf course. The popular, state-of-the-art facility includes a triple-tiered driving range, two putting greens, and a chipping green.

Great course for the price!

This was my first time playing this course upon a recommendation from a friend that has played it several times. I have one word to describe it "hilly"!!! It was a fun but rather challenging course with great views of the beautiful blue ridge mountains.

Tough

Shot an 81 but i really had to work at it. There are some odd holes that are pure placement shots that will sneak up and bite you. 3 of the par 5's are impossible to reach in two even as a long hitter from the blue or gold tees. One because if length the others because if awkard lies in the fairway at 290+ off the tee you either have a down hill or extrene sidehill lie. Pin placements are decieving unless you can lazer them there arent different color flags for pin positions. All in all a great test of golf your complete bag of clubs is needed!

Great Course.

Great golf course for the rates. This course is challenging enough to keep your ego in check yet has some opportunities to drive a few greens and play a risk reward round. The best feature is the blue ridge mountains surrounding you cooling the air during hot summer months here in the south. I drive 45min on purpose to play here.

Mountain Courses has its challenges

Very nice course. Have been playing annually while visiting in Greenville. Mountain courses will have holes that sometimes don't make sense, but it's fun. Hole 15, par 3 is a scenic hole, severely down hill, you'll enjoy it.

Cherokee Valley was in excellent shape as usual. The greens were great and consistent. Very good value especially when using golf now to book tee times.

Slick, tricky greens

Great course for the money. Practice facilities were in good shape as well. Greens are slick and undulating which makes for a few tough putts. Overall, very enjoyable.

Beautiful Views postage stamp greens

The course has some short par fives and par fours but they are well protected by small sloping greens. This track is mountain golf so be prepared for some messed up lies. The course was extremely wet even though it had not rained in several days. I recommend this course but only if you are prepared for mountain golf. Driving range, chipping area and putting green were to notch. Staff was courteous and friendly.

This place will never learn

To start with we played as a twosome. In the clubhouse the pro told us there were two groups of five In front of us. They would not let us play through. After two hours we were only seven holes in When we skipped holes 8 and 9 To go to hole ten. After finishing on 18 we went back and played eight and nine. This place is known for slow play and the people that work here don't care. The third time this is happened and I won't go back. It's a shame because it's a beautiful course. But the service and pace of play isn't worth it. I've asked them each time why there's no ranger and they just look at you Like they've never heard of a Ranger. Too many nice courses in this area to waste my money here

Super staff and great greens!

Staff gets a 10! Very nice and easy going. Received a discount card just for playing the course. The greens were great, ball rolled true (even if I didn't putt great!). Fairways were well maintained, rough was forgiving. Nice elevation changes with some really interesting shot making choices. Over the trees or take what is given to you? Go for the green or lay up? Really enjoyed the course even though I didn't play great. My only frustration was slow play by groups in front of us. Let faster players play through! Especially when they catch you at the turn and are not getting any food while you feed your face. Ok, rant done, but it's not necessarily the course here, but a ranger would've helped I think.
