About
Nestled amongst the gently rolling hills of Rockdale County, Cherokee Run Golf Club lies within the Georgia International Horse Park. Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay designed the course. Occupied for centuries by the Cherokee Indians, dozens of arrowheads were found in the Georgian red clay as the golf course was being built. The beautiful landscape is covered in granite outcroppings, native wetlands, and dense hardwood forests. The towering trees line the fairways and the steep inclines throughout the course provide fast, undulating greens. Water hazards come into play on six holes at Cherokee Run Golf Club and there are nearly 100 strategically placed bunkers. The course's signature hole is the par-3 third. This challenging hole demands an accurate tee shot in order to safely make it past the sand bunkers that border both sides of the fairway.

Great Course for Mid/Low Handicappers
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!
Hi, u8945922. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Cherokee Run Golf Club!
Hard but Fair
Like this course. It's one of the harder courses we play so who ever scores best here is champ til next time here.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Cherokee Run Golf Club.
Pace of Play
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
Excellent variety in layout
Fantastic variety in the layout. Greens an bunkers are always excellent. One of the best value for rate in Atlanta metro
Thanks so much for the great review, anthonynn. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Cherokee Run Golf Club.

Great shape but very tough
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.

Good Times
Very fun course. The speed of the greens are deceptive but a lot of fun to figure out. The course was just fertilized and the greens were in good shape.

The course is good. After reading many reviews, I decided to drive over an hour to play here. It's not a course that I would drive that distance to play again.
The course is in great condition except for the bunkers; they stink. The fairways and greens are great.
Several holes are "quirky." I know that's subjective, but there were a number of holes that I would play differently a second time through. Many of the approach shots feature uphill shots or forced carries over water.
It's a very nice course; it's just too much of a drive to play again.
Hello, ajpsav. Thank you for visiting us at Cherokee Run Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Too bad the weather played a factor
What a great course we played in Cherokee Run. Unbeknown to us, the course received an inch of rain the previous evening. We found out the front nine (really our back nine as we started on 10) was cart path only at the time of check-in. A big soggy and at times a long trudge to get to our balls. But it is easy to see that this is a great course when not too wet. Price was right and we’ll certainly be back to play when drier.
BTW, food and drink in the 19th hole were great!
Hello, Jerman00. Thank you for visiting us at Cherokee Run Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.

Hi, Joker36Bat. We would love to hear more about your positive experience on our course. Please contact us to share with us your favorite part of your experience. Thanks for golfing at Cherokee Run Golf Club!
Not bad for the cost
Greens were great, fairways and tees much less so, evil greens, ball will roll right off on a bad put. There needed to be a ranger, finally got fed up on back nine, passed two parties holes and no one in front of them for the last four holes. There was a threesome that was playing incredibly slow.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, u314159968395. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Cherokee Run Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
A must to play
If you haven’t played this course due to the fact it’s a long drive for you and golf friends, believe me the course is awesome! Challenging layout!
The greens are perfect not a single green is burnt up! The driving range and practice putting green is top noch! The clubhouse has a real good food I like the club sandwich!!!! Great value to play a course in perfect condition.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Cherokee Run Golf Club.
Just as I remember it
I played this course back in the late 90’s when it first opened. It still has fast greens and the course requires shot placement for you to have a manageable score.
Greens= Very good shape, fast and receive the ball well, be below the hole.
Tee Boxes = most are good shape, but are tough to put a tee in.
Fairways = Good shape, heat has taken a toll and need some water.
Pace = Excellent for a holiday
Sand Bunker = didn’t end up in them but they seem pretty good
Clubhouse personnel = Excellent, friendly and the very helpful. The beer selection is good and the food was spot on.
mwbrown69, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Cherokee Run Golf Club.
Hi, gewalterb. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Cherokee Run Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Perfect golf
We played on Labor Day at 10AM - knew it would be crowded, so already set my mind on a slow round.
Having said that, this course is simply fantastic - an Arnie Signature course. If you’re willing to make the short drive from Atlanta you will not be disappointed. From carts to course to clubhouse it’s all good here. Fairways were like carpets and the greens were in excellent condition for the end of summer. Carts have GPS and nicest seats around - even have ball washers and coolers attached.
Take some time - and play this course.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, jgreiver. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Cherokee Run Golf Club thanks you!
