Cherokee Run Golf Club

Such a great course in every way. Beautiful, flawless greens, amazing staff and challenging golf. For me it is a 45+minute drive- but always worth it!

Fairways are so hard this time around coz of no rains. Greens very fair and undulating as always.

We need some rain.. ball is running forever which makes the course harder

Greens are always amazingly good and fast

It was hard to put a tee in the ground on many holes..

Drove 1 1/2 hours to play here for Masters Week at Masters Week rates. Driving past 18th, I thought we were in for a treat. Maintenance team was fluffing new white sand in bunkers around 18th green. Clubhouse and grill were amazing. Practice area was great.

Teed off and by the second hole, knew we had been duped. Greens were fine. Tee boxes had no grass and were sandy. Bunkers were Georgia clay red with no sand. Didn’t expect fairways to have much grass w/o spring rain, so that was no surprise.

All in all, disappointed.

Last time I played this course was 25 years ago. Back then, it was one of the top public courses in the Greater Atlanta Area. The course layout is absolutely phenomenal. Beautifully designed holes, few if any structures on the course, so extremely natural and pleasing to the eye on an amazing piece of property. Staff is extremely friendly, welcoming and accommodating.

However, the tee boxes were consistently hardpan and many had almost no grass at all. The fairways were severely burned out and nearly impossible to make sound contact if you could hit them from the tee boxes. Runouts on tee shots were insane … 40-60+ yards, which sounds great for distance, but incredibly frustrating playing mostly sharp doglegs and placement shots. I understand from the staff that there’s been quite a dry season here, but it was obvious that they’re not watering the course at all, other than the putting surfaces. Greens were pretty good, true and receptive if you could hit them.

I was visiting with a friend from out of town and I recommended Cherokee Run from my past experience long ago. I was pretty embarrassed when we got there how bad the conditions were. Too bad and hopefully this is just a temporary issue, but from what I could see, it will take a ton of work to make this the course it used to be.

Really nice course, greens were in great shape. Definitely not a beginners course.

My first time playing and exceeded my expectations. It’s a challenging course layout undulating greens. Friendly staff made me feel welcome.

Played The Run just prior to Masters Week. The course is in excellent shape. Greens medium-fast and true. No issues with thin patches or inconsistent rolls. Fresh sand in the bunkers, which is always a challenge here due to underlying granite.

It was a very dry winter here in GA. So the course played firm and the zoysia is still a little thin. The ball was really rolling out. This helped when we hit it straight, which was not always the case lol. Sometimes that got us in trouble.

As always the staff and facilities were fantastic. Cherokee Run is a players course. Great Arnold Palmer design and TOUGH. A true golf experience with no houses on site. You’re out there on your own. Tee times well spaced so pace was excellent. With the current twilight rates it’s one of the best deals in the Atlanta area. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Bring your A game.

It’s been a while since I’ve played here. I don’t remember it having this many elevation changes. The fairways were hard as clay. I’m not sure where all the rain that has fallen is going. They started us on the back-nine for some reason. The pace was SLOW after the first 6 holes.

Very friendly staff, thanks. Bar Maid was really nice too us..

We were a little slow because we had some hi handicappers..

But e will be back

All was good except the teeing areas. They had mats on all par 3’s due to lack of grass. May need to re sod. Otherwise excellent condition.

Fun course awesome greens the course is great for the price . Definitely worth the drive …

The course location is a little out there but definitely worth the drive. Great greens, fun layout and excellent value.
