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

Loved this course, challenging! Greens were tough, rollled true, some bad spots on them but only on edges. Def helps to have their cheat sheet if you’ve never played here before like myself! Overall liked course and will def play again when I’m in town.

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.

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.
