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.

The course doesn’t drain well

Played the day after there were rain showers in the area. Very wet conditions on most fairways. Therefore, it was cart path only, and high drives would plug in the middle of the fairway. Also had issues with gnats on several greens. Would not recommend this course if there was any rain recently. The greens were in good shape, but slow.

Awesome greens. Annoying layout.

The greens were in incredible shape for mid winter. Very very fast, made it a fun challenge.

I don’t mind having blind shots, but the runoffs on these fairways were just brutal. You would hit a perfect shot and then not find your ball, or find it in a crap lie at the bottom of a hill. No real reward to hitting fairways off of the tee, you just have to get lucky.

Winter Golf is terrible at Cherokee Run

The Course holds are doesn’t drain well in the winter it’s very wet and soggy on a lot of the holes and when you go to hit the ball most of the time you pull up sod or mud As a group we have played a couple of course that isn’t as such on a level as Cherokee Run and the fairways or better and near the green also and we played yesterday and it hasn’t had a lot of rain for it to be in that condition but we love the course in the spring and summer months

Always a fun course

Third time playing at Cherokee. During the warmer weather, there are lots of gnats so beware of that.

The staff members at Cherokee are always friendly and the course conditions are always great albeit the wet conditions that I played in last time.

This is also the course that I hit my first eagle so maybe I am a little biased :-)

Will definitely be back.

One in Mr. Palmer's signature collection, and a must play!

Truly a GEM. Please search and find. This course has everything. Greenspeed would challenge the tour conditions were superior, to some of the higher dollar courses in the area.

Great shape after the storm!

Played the day after a wave of rain came through the area. Called the course the day before and they assured me the course would hold up after the rain…they were right! Of course it was “cart path only,” but there was barely any standing water on that course! You guys take great care of it and thanks!
