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.

Fun challenge
Traps need help. Layout was fun. Priced right and great 19th hole. Watch your speed on central parkway!
We're glad you enjoyed your 5-star experience with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon at Cherokee Run Golf Club.
Cherokee Run never disappoints
Brought a friend from out of town to Cherokee Run. He was impressed on the first hole. We had to leave after the 13 hole, pace was a little slow and it was a Friday on Labor Day weekend. So pace was to be expected. Enjoyed what we could finish and he wants to play again he comes back to Atlanta.
Friendly Staff that is always eager to help
OH BUT THAT ROUGH IS ROUGH right now!!! Better keep it in the fairway

Good layout but need some sand
First time playing here. The layout is good and it is a beautiful course. But the bunkers had no sand. I mean none at all. It rained the night before. So the bunkers had water instead. All of them. They didn’t even try to pump water out. Also it had too many fruit flies.. The gentleman at the check in wasn’t that friendly. But the marshal was very friendly. I will try one more time and see whether any improvements are made.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the sand traps is important to us. We are working to get everything at the course up to par. The current condition is not the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We are glad to see you rated the course layout to be great during your game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Cherokee Run Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

This course is in excellent shape and the greens roll pure
I have played here many times over the years but I have to say it's been a pretty wet summer and this course along with many others have benefited from it. The fairways are lush and the ball sits perfectly, the greens are in great shape and roll fast even in the morning dew.
I had the first tee time at 7:12. The pro in the shop told me to tee off when I was ready and have fun. I did just that. Walked off the course at about 9:15. I love playing with friends but there is nothing like having a course to yourself and breezing around at your own pace.
We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Cherokee Run Golf Club.

Picky review
Regardless of green fee, CR is the best public "metro" area course. At least east of 85. Then its usually among the least expensive GN hot deals. This course always delivers. Practice Facilities and clubhouse are always on point.
Today's round was not slow but playing as a single, I ended up pairing with another along the way, and then another single before the round ended. I play as a single often so pairing up is not unusual but to happen twice is an indicator that we were waiting a bit too long in between shots.
Course looked great but the greens seemed really slow. Also the sand traps were very inconsistent, and some over eroded but it wouldn't be an issue if I didn't hit in the bunker twice. Still a great day at CR
Hi, sblaketaylor. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Cherokee Run Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!

The pinnacle of value
Worth every penny and then some. Got a hot deal for under $30 midday on a Wednesday, but that’s a common hot deal for this course. And the course easily lived up to the rating.
Pros: dang near everything. Quick, tough, flowing greens. Many holes were spacious between trees, but still rewards accuracy as the rough is PROPERLY tough. Good balance of difficulty among par 4s (1 under 300, a handful over 400, and a variety throughout 300 yards). Well placed hazards. Practice space (and quality) before the round. Cheap pro shop. At least 1 water station around hole 5. Attention to detail (they genuinely care to make everything look nice, down to every sign and tee marker). Staff friendliness. GPS carts. Scenery.
Cons: no bev cart (but again, there was at least 1 water station). The GPS carts didn’t have Bluetooth (I’m just being picky trying to find a con now lol).
Didn’t try: any food. Driving range.
We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Cherokee Run Golf Club.
Best of greens in Atlanta
I play tournament golf all around Ga, private and public courses. Cherokee run is the best I've played all year.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Cherokee Run Golf Club thanks you!

Best public course by far in GA!
This is an awesome course, especially for the price. First time playing, so a few holes were a mystery (i.e some blind tee shots, big doglegs, etc.).
Greens were in great condition -- putts actually roll true here which never happens at public courses around ATL. Front nine isn't super driver friendly, but the back nine has a bunch of holes where you can let it fly. Well worth the hour drive outside the city!
