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.

Great Shape (for the most part)

Love the zoysia fairways. They were in great shape, as were the greens. The bunkers don't have a whole lot of sand in them and when they do, it is a course sand with a pea sized rocks. They bunkers are hard pan mostly. The rest of the course is great. Just stay away from the bunkers.

Great course. Rewd staff member.

Staff member basically accused me of lying that I was part of a twosome that booked the same tee time I booked on Golfnow I guess because we all were of the same complexion. He would not initially give me the cart key even though I told him I didn't know them.

Great course, poor service.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!

The course was in spectacular condition considering the course is built on a mountain!!! The grass was spongy and allowed you to really compress the ball! The greens were very slippery, but the increased the challenge! Our cart almost ran out of juice climbing all those hills, but I will definitely be coming back!!!!

Fun Course

It was hot and dry. Played from the tips because it was so dry. The greens were perfect It was fun even on the double bogie holes. The 9th, 10, and the 18th hole are my favorite. Tee boxes could have used some water it was hard to get tee in the ground. The driving range was a little bumpy and dry but that is my only negatives. I will play here many more times. The staff here is the best I have ever encountered. Keep on being great.

Great Time

Started off with a beer and a hotdog in the clubhouse. Course was in great shape for this time of the season. Layout is fun, but there's so many blind shots. They have a gps system in the carts that helps let you know if there's golfers ahead. I can't imagine how the place ran before then!

Isolated, tough course. Makes you use your noggin! Course was in pretty good shape, a few bare spots here and there but for the most part it was well maintained. Definitely would play again.

I came from Korea. It was my first round.

Course condition and people were very nice.

If I revisit Atlanta, I will play a golf at this golf course.

Absolutely stunning course and in great shape

This course is in incredible shape at the moment. The greens are some of the fastest tournament style greens I've ever played. Course layout is challenging and fun. There is not a single house on the course, its peaceful, feels very isolated in a good way and is set back into the woods beautifully. Absolutely worth the money, I will be coming back to this course many times over after playing here for the first time.

Great test of golf

The course is in the best condition of any of the other courses we have played recently. The greens are fast but incredibly smooth. Fairways are firm but very green. Playing the ball down is not a problem at all. Well worth the trip.

Fantastic all around course

No beer cart on a sunny Saturday, but the 19th hole has snacks, sandwiches and hot dogs ready to go. Decent prices but recently increased. Dogs used to be less than $3… solid chipping area with a bunker. Grass range was in good shape. Very fast greens when the sun gets on them, tons of fun. 17 and 18 are very reachable par 4 and par 5 perfect for a 9th inning comeback
