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.

Great shape
The course is in fantastic shape. The greens are the best i've seen in metro area and i play twice a week all around the city. Fairways are lush, rough is thick but just shy of being unfair .
Beautiful
Very nice track, greens were still recovering from punching, but rolled nice. The course was challenging enough but not extremely difficult. The scenery was amazing, every direction I looked was a picture.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating.
I rented some clubs, so I was able to play with some brand new Pings. Definitely, would play it again!
We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Cherokee Run Golf Club.
Great time
I always enjoy playing this course. The front nine is normally my best side, however this time I play the back pretty well. Looking forward to the next time. The course is always in great shape.
We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Cherokee Run Golf Club.

Hidden Gem!
I’ve wanted to play Cherokee Run for a long time, and it didn’t disappoint. The course is in great shape overall, and despite recent aeration, the greens rolled pretty well. Amazing layout with picturesque views from the tee boxes and greens.
Will definitely be back.

A Very Challenging Golf Course & in Great Condition
My wife & I have played more than 70 different courses in GA and this course is amongst the top 10.
Beside the challenging layout in lieu to its elevational change, slope play and plenty of hazards & sand bunkers, the conditions of the fairways & green are in great condition. I would give an “excellent” rating if the sand bunkers are properly filled with sufficient sand & raked. As single handicappers, we found the “green” very challenging due to its tight slope and fast roll.
Overall, we loved that there are no houses around, it’s very serene, very well maintained and the staff there are very friendly especially Mr Digno the starter.

Great Course
One of the areas best kept secrets. This course is always in good shape from the fairways to the greens but still very challenging.

gerry
very pretty golf course in quite good shape except for the sand traps ( they were horrible to put it mildly) you need to pay very good attention to the cart GPS and check the distances for each particular shot, there are several blind shots and the fall off of the fairways is pretty severe at times. I would recommend this course with the above advice

Amazing
This isn’t a perfect course as there are a few washout areas here and there as you get to the edges of the fairways. And I recommend that you consider playing after June 1 when the course has more fully greened up. But either way, the greens are perfect and absolutely amazing - fast and smooth. On almost every green we found ourselves admiring the beauty and architecture that Mr. Palmer encompassed in his design. We include this course on our yearly trip to the Atlanta area and in fact we played it twice this year. Highly recommended.
