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.

There is no better value in the area. Only issue was that we had one of the first tee times so the front was smooth. Once we made the turn a shotgun start was started on the 10th hole so it was too slow to continue, we left after 9.

The course is in great Springtime conditions. The layout is picturesque and rather challenging with changes in tee box, fairway and green elevations.

excellent course but not easy

Great course and can be challenging for the novice golfer

but learn to play from the forward tees and work your way backwards as you get better. It will enhance your enjoyment and you lose less balls and don't hold others while you look for balls that you lost playing the back tees.

leave your ego in the parking lot and enjoy the challenge.

One of the best public courses in the Atlanta area.

The course is in solid condition. The greens and fairways are pretty pure and the bunkers are decent. The only negative was that some of the tee boxes weren't in great shape (lots of sand) but I use a tee every time so it wasn't a big deal for me. If you haven't played there before, I'd recommend going. I like how there aren't any houses to hit outside of the one building on 16 :)

Great Palmer course

I played here on a Friday afternoon with rain in the forecast so it was not crowded at all, but the layout upkeep and difficulty of the putting surfaces made this place awesome. hard to beat playing at your exact pace, feeling like you are the only one out there on a well manicured course.
