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.

Really?

Not a good course to play a late tee time. They kick you off at 7:20 when it’s perfectly light out. So glad I got my moneys worth

Awesome Course, Great Value

This is a fun course. Layout is challenging, forgiving at times, and dramatic with granite slabs, big elevations, and fast greens. Pace of play wasn't great, but it was perfect golf weather, so it was busy. The range is a little small, but they have a nice chipping area to wait for a spot to open. There are no houses on this course, which I love. And the holes rarely double back on each other.

Great Value for Metro Golf, tough walker.

This course is almost always well maintained, and the greens are always nice. I prefer to walk courses, and I walked 18 this time, and it is a grind at Cherokee Run. Very, very hilly with some long stretches of cart path. But I survived. Prob ride here next time though.

One of the best

The greens are the best anywhere this time of year! No point in going anywhere else for rolling the ball! Spectacular holes and layout! Grass on fairways growing well for good lies. Worth the trip!

I have been playing this course since it first open up the course doesn"t drain well the last few times we played same condition several holes cart path only and it didn"t rain at all We played The Providence Club in Monroe after two days of rain and it was in way better shape than Cherokee no sand in the traps We used to brag on this course and conditions we all said we wouldn't be coming back soon even though we love the course need to have a company to come in and look at your drainage situation Its too nice of a course to let go down the hill, When I return to the course I hope that I can give a better Review Thanks

Spectacular environment and layout

I could not believe the course held up after torrential rainstorms on Tuesday. I got 27 in on Wednesday. The layout was stunning. The greens were tough but true. The course makes you hit golfshots but its also fair.

Highly recommend it. No wonder its top rated in ATL
