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 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.

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.

First Time Playing

Great challenging course.

Played this for the first time earlier this week. It was better than expected. Staff is very friendly and nice which is kind of rare these days. Course is definitely a bit hard but is beautiful. Fairways are near perfect conditions and the greens are very good. Also saw tons of wildlife which was great. 9/10 for sure for me. I’ll be back.
