Cherokee Run Golf Club
About
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.

Amazing!!
This course is absolutely beautiful and the best part is the greens
fun and challenging
overall course is in really nice shape. Greens are fast but consistent. Stay below the hole as much as possible. Played in just over 4 hours which is great for a weekend day. Will be back soon.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Cherokee Run Golf Club.
Great weather day
Love playing Cherokee Run. Course is challenging but for me lots of fun. It’s fall and course was in very good shape. Pace of play was ok due to lots of folks on course. Can’t wait to come back.
We're glad you enjoyed your experience with us. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another great experience!
Greens fast and true
Staff was hugely helpful. My friend misplaced his wallet and despite it being after the carts were due in, we were allowed to take a cart and back track to try and find it. Super nice staff all the way around. Bar keep Lindsey was super and everyone could not have been nicer. In case you get these my friend found his wallet deep in his golf bag Thru a torn pocket. May need a new bag. Ha We will definitely be back
We're glad you enjoyed your 5-star experience with us. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another great experience!
Tough hole locations
Very challenging locations but very good condition overall

November golf
Conditions couldn't be better around the course for the time of year. Even leaves were well blown and clear from greens and such. Great round.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. We look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Cherokee Run Golf Club thanks you!
Nice Course
Beware of holes eight and nine. They can do a number on your score card, especially the tricky eighth. And if your putting stroke needs some work, this is not the course for you. Greens are fast and many undulating. Three putts lurk on at least half of the holes unless you are stiffing the pins.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5 star review! Your feedback is valuable, and we are glad to see you had a great time with the challenges the course provides! We look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Cherokee Run Golf Club thanks you!
A Great Layout
1) Tees: good conditions
2) Fairways: good conditions
3) Bunkers: good conditions
4) Greens: great conditions. Well rolled so not so many ball marks, roll ok, can be faster (my personal preference)
5) pace of play: ok on the front, terrible in the back because a couple of groups too slow. This is a golf disease I suffer everywhere I go these days. People learn golf but they don’t get taught the etiquette of golf. It make a round less enjoyable. You don’t need to be a good golfer to learn to move around a golf course the most efficiently: keeping score at the next tee box, when a player hit before u, move to your ball and ready to hit. Put your clubs back at the next tee box, pick up at double pars, don’t rush during play but move off the greens faster to your cart after you putt. Play ready golf. It’s getting terrible!!! and bring a ball mark fixer, fix your balk mark, rake the trap for next person. Supposed to be a gentleman game, think about others . What happens????
Thank you for your review. We will pass along your experience to our team at Cherokee Run Golf Club and aim for a 5 star visit next time. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Fantastic Course
This was our first time playing Cherokee Run, and we were all very impressed. The condition of the course is outstanding, with Zoysia fairways and Champion Bermuda greens (which can be very quick btw). The course layout is very engaging and good views. On a regular basis we play St. Marlo, Bears Best, and Chestatee, but Cherokee Run is a better course than any of the regulars I just listed. This is a high-end golf course hidden in the middle of nowhere.
Thanks so much for the great 5 star review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Cherokee Run Golf Club.
Nice place
For some reason. My GPS didn't take me to the front of the building. It left me out in the woods somewhere. They were very understanding and got me on the course a little later than my specified tee time. Some of the locals were brutally slow players who never offered to let us play through. That was the only drawback. Goof course with fast greens. Would play again.
Your feedback is important to us! Thank you for sharing your experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon for a 5-star visit! Thanks for choosing Cherokee Run Golf Club.

Gnats gnats and more gnats
The amount of gnats buzzing in your face was unbearable. EVERY single shot, swarms were in your face or buzzing in your ear. The course was nice and great layout, but couldn't enjoy any of it due to the amount of gnats and mosquitoes. Also, course does not drain well judging by how slushy everything was and it being cart path only, and the previous 2 days we had no rain whatsoever. Maybe deserves another chance, in winter, when there are no gnats and mosquitoes.

Good course but the back was unplayable due to pace
Got a Friday 11:30 tee time figuring the course would be empty. The course is beautiful and challenging -- great greens and the rough is incredibly tall and absolutely unforgiving, although some spots on the fairway are muddy due to rain.
However, pace was beyond dreadful. My twosome got paired up with 2 other guys who played from the tips even though one of them said "I have only been out on a course four times before." There was nobody in front of us, so we split up after the 5th hole and finished the front in less than 2 hours. When we made the turn, there were SIX people putting on the 10th green. Figured it was a men's league or something so we tried to skip 11 to get in front of them... Turns out they were playing as 6 because there were foursomes on EVERY SINGLE HOLE in the back. We played 9 holes without anybody in front of us, so where did everyone come from?! I think people go into the clubhouse for lunch and the starters don't control who makes the turn when. In 3 hours and 30 minutes we only played 12 holes. Had to abandon because we had other commitments. Will probably not be back
Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We would have to look at our sheet to see what exactly happened on that day. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve, and we are glad to see you rated the course conditions to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Cherokee Run Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Very nice course
For an extra few dollars I’ll happily drive 30 minutes. The course is very nice (a cpl greens need repair but otherwise in very nice shape) and its shorter holes offer challenging approaches. Greens were hot - any power at all and the ball tolls for days. Overall great value for the money - I’ll definitely play here again.
