Cherokee Run Golf Club

You better be able to hit your ball if you wanna play this course! It is not amenable to a high handicapper. If you shoot over a 100, don’t frustrate yourself. I tend to shoot mid 80s or lower and I struggled significantly with it’s being my first time playing. Your goons get some double bogeys and few pars. But to be clear, it’s a really nice course and the greens are still healthy but not fast, the latter of which I prefer. The course is a very creative and challenging layout with A LOT of doglegsc bunkers, and a reasonable number of water hazards. Many of the fairways are tilted so you have to place your ball strategically for your next shot; and play the “slope.” Carts are in great shape and staff was friendly with a nice clubhouse.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful at the club and the course was an excellent challenge. Only thing that could improve is there’s a huge balcony overlooking the course but no tables or chairs

Will definitely come back

This is a great course - very challenging and in good condition. The greens were particularly tricky

I think Cherokee Run is the best combination of price and condition in the Atlanta area. I live in the middle of the city and it takes me about 35 minutes to get out to the course.

The course was in great shape for a mid-November tee time. My only complaint on conditions are that there are a ton of dead leaves all over the course. While this is to be expected in the fall, it would be helpful if the course had a member of the grounds crew doing laps with a blower. It was not uncommon for a member of our foursome to see their tee shot down in the fairway, but be unable to find the ball once we drove up to it because of all the leaves.

Pace of play was fine for public golf around Atlanta, but not great. It took us about 5 hours to play our round.

Course layout was fun, but make no mistake, this is a hard and hilly track with a decent amount of blind shots. The blind shots coupled with all the leaves scattered on the course made for a lot of “lost balls” that felt like they should have been in play.

Overall I’d absolutely recommend this course to fellow golfers.

Kinda your typical tree lined North GA golf course. Many holes have forced carries on the approach which makes for some tough decisions. Fairways and greens were nice. Plays shorter than the ~6500 from the blue tees due to elevation. A couple of really strange holes like hole 8 and 9 with weird/blind tee shots and long approaches. Bunkers were mud/hard packed even though we haven’t had rain in weeks. Pace of play was brutal. No cart service available . Finally saw a ranger on hole 16. Worth the play if you haven’t before, but other courses in the area offer better amenities and service.

5 1/2 hr round, Brutal, No Ranger. Will Never play there again. The course is Tough enough, but the Greens are totally Unfair. The course is a Joke.

I’ve only played the course twice because it’s not on here most of the time. A good amount of narrow fairways so your tee off had better be accurate! Greens were perfect and rolled a little fast but that’s ok. I was paired up with two other guys who were more experienced than I was which I didn’t care too much for, but I understand that’s the nature of playing on a weekend. Great course though.

I’m a high handicapper and this course absolutely wrecked me. It was so fun! There was only one course issue with a flooded bunker, but otherwise everything was in good to great shape. The greens were pure and the fairways - when I found them - were awesome. Wouldn’t recommend high handicappers play here unless you have a lot of patience and are willing to buy two full cases of balls. Worth it for the autumn views and great conditions! Food was just ok, but beer was readily available. Great carts, too!

Like this course. It's one of the harder courses we play so who ever scores best here is champ til next time here.

Had a scramble before my tee time that was taking forever, also had a putting contest for each group at the turn that slowed everything down more. The tee boxes were awful

Fantastic variety in the layout. Greens an bunkers are always excellent. One of the best value for rate in Atlanta metro

The course is in great shape, overall, though the traps were a bit inconsistent (some had almost too much sand and others not enough). Greens were fast. All that said, the layout is ridiculously difficult on many holes, with trouble all around. If you are not laser accurate, you are likely to find it. It was a fairly frustrating round.
