Cherokee Run Golf Club

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.

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.

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.

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

Good people good track. Just a drive but worth it

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.

Brought my father in law while he was in town and he really enjoyed the course. For me, the second time was just as great as the first. Will definitely be going back again.

If you are in the area this is a must play in my opinion. The property is absolutely stunning and seems to be just an ideal location for a golf course. It is an unbelievably creative, challenging, and extremely fun Arnold Palmer design. Scenic views all around and many holes bring various interesting and challenging hazards and obstacles. Many holes feature beautiful exposed granite areas along with various bodies of water. This course is an ideal venue for anybody from a single golfer on sunday or a highly competitive foursome. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Only complaint is that some of the black teeboxes were in need of some TLC but nothing too bad that it affected play. I would recommend this course to any golfer looking for a great value for a course that has potential to be a high end private club if they desired.

Cherokee Run was the toughest course I’ve ever played. Most holes had significant elevation changes, multiple obstacles, bunkers surrounding more than half of the green. Fairways were tight, rough was in good condition but deep enough to swallow a ball. Very few areas under repair. Greens were excellent, fast, and most required excellent touch on your approach in order to keep your putt on the green. A good mixture of holes that rewarded long drives, that required small target iron play, and that required a controlled drive. A storm cut my round short so I didn’t get to finish 17 or play 18, but I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and excellent condition of the course.
