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.

Challenging, but exciting

The golf course if probably the most challenging course since it has so much slope in the course. I believe that they recently redid their greens so the green speed is incredible which makes hitting iron shots, wedges, and putters extra challenging to add fun to the incredible game of golf.

Great Course!

Cherokee run checks all the boxes. The course is always in greats shape, and the greens are always fast and true. On top of that, the layout of the course is awesome. Plenty of risk reward shots and forced layups. If you’re within an hour or so, it is worth the drive.

Very Good

Course conditions as always were in great shape layout is challenging but fair. Bunkers would be the only downfall on this course but if you play the way you're supposed to and stay out of bunkers you'll have a really good time.

Great course at a great price

This course beats the price of many public courses in Atlanta area and also beats throwaway same courses in condition as well. Always worth the drive out to Conyers from the city.

Always enjoyable

It’s a long drive for me to play this course but it is one of the most enjoyable courses to play. Pro Shop is always friendly and welcoming and the Starter got me off earlier as a single player which was really appreciated. Even though it was cart-path only the pace of play was acceptable with no long waits. Greens were very quick and in great condition. This course gives gives your game a good workout which is why it is it is one of my favorites. This is a must play course in my opinion.

I miss Cherokee Run

I use to play Cherokee a lot but unfortunately I moved about an hour and a half away. Loved the course and made it my go to course. I am about a 13 handicap and I can tell ya it can be a challenge, bring your best game. It is a risk/reward type of course and at times very fast greens. Many times it was difficult to keep the ball on various greens. I miss Cherokee Run, everything about it. I will return one day, hopefully soon.

Public Course, Private Worthy Greens

Offers a mix of shot maker challenges and plenty of length in one package. Scoring low requires a real strong day putting but even without a low score, CR is a fun course and one of the best in Atlanta area,

Cherokee Run

Great 18 holes at a great price. New carts were a nice touch as well. They didn't accept my offer to trade them my hatchback... sad. They were really nice carts. Fast greens all day but the temp dropped whilst golfing. I would go back and recommend this course to others. See you soon.
