Rating 75.1

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.

Outstanding “Hidden” Gem

Depends where you’re from but I came down from Atlanta and wow was I surprised. I was trying to meet a friend halfway at a decent golf course and came across this one. I started reading the reviews and got excited. This place is amazing. The greens are fast and the layout is amazing. Missing fairways is punishing as the rough is very tough and plenty of holes to miss big and go OB. Overall, incredible and I recommend you play here.

Excellent course, punishing rough

This course is absolutely gorgeous. The day we played, it was a little wet and cart path only. Tough course to play with cart path only. You are going up or downhill virtually every hole. The rough doesn’t look bad, but you can lose a ball 6 inches into it and we did all day long. Staff was great, pace of play was under 4 hours even cart path only. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m traveling through ATL.

Best around

There's a reason it's always ranked as one of the best public courses in GA. Zoysia fairways are immaculate and greens are championship caliber. My only gripe, albeit petty, is the overgrowth of trees into the 17th off the tee and second shot, but maybe it's just because I hate that hole.
