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.

Slipping a little
I play this course because it is typically in very good condition. This time I knew in advance that the greens had been recently aerated so I'm not going to complain about that. What I did find disappointing was the condition of the bunkers, quite a few of them gullywashed and as a result unplayable. That's something that can be fixed quite easily so I wondered why nothing had been done. Bottom line: a golf course that earns my repeated business doesn't take days off or leave patrons to fend for themselves.
Great value at $70, nice layout, fun but challenging
Me and 2 friends played here over 4th of July weekend. We played 18 holes in 4hrs 24mins, so right on pace. Spacing was fair, we kept up with the group ahead of us. Some pretty fun hole layouts, nice driving range area with a chipping green/sand bunker, and a putting green. Course was in good shape, clubhouse was very nice, staff was nice as well. They do keep a beverage cart coming around for all your alcohol needs.
Terrible looking fairways
I’ve always thoroughly enjoyed playing this course. But today, it looked 3rd rate. The fairways looked awful- yellow, dingy and the sprinklers were turned on on every hole right about the landing spot for most drives. I had to dodge sprinkler water to run and grab my ball and move it just so I could hit my second shot. Aggravating as crap.
Great course
The course needed some rain and had some dry spots but it was in good shape and is a great and challenging layout.
Nice and demanding
Fantastic course, if you are a beginner the course can be demanding. The fairways in good shape and the greens are fast.
Hot Round
Played in afternoon - hot round but fun - course in great shape. Worth the trip.
Great Golf Course.
I have recently played this course twice with an early morning Tee Time and I think I’ve been missing out on playing early pace of play is great almost like you have the course to yourself. Greens are smooth and fast. Fairways are very very well kept. This has become one of my favorite courses in my area.
Nice Course - excellent greens.
1st time, great time, course was great- greens phenomenal, couple tee boxes were iffy, but overall impressed!
Private like public course.
This is a great course that has everything like a private course. I like their shower room. It feels great taking shower right after a round especially hot day over 90 degree.
Solid test
This is a legit golf course, Palmer design, the fairways tend to be more forgiving than they appear from the tee box. This course will also test your approach shots, putting greens are very fair. There are a lot of fun holes. In Georgia, there are many courses that have several bad holes due to the landscape. One thing I very much like about Cherokee Run is that there aren't any bad or goofy holes. This course will be a firm test for beginners and a fair challenge for experienced golfers. Course conditions were outstanding, bravo.
