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 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.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Cherokee Run Golf Club.
Palmer challenge
Very enjoyable Palmer course
Challenging greens
Always fast
Favourite course east of Atlanta
Thank you for visiting us at Cherokee Run Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
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,
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round and had a 5 star experience! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

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.

Must play
My second time paying here. Played it in March and wanted to make it back in the summer when the course would be green. Just getting back but the course is still in great shape here in December even with the fairway grasses drying out. Greens in excellent condition and a bit fast. The staff are very pleasant and welcoming too.

the Golfnow rate was the same as the regular course plus Golfnow charged $10 for making the reservation, thus making the golfnow rate more expensive.
I thought golfnow offered reduced rates. I was very disappointed.
why should I use golfnow in the future?

Not worth the trip
For 4.7 stars I expected it to be in great shape with awesome views and fun holes. It was in decent shape. The tee boxes are an afterthought. The greens were lightning fast which was great but they were so undulating it was hard to get anything near the whole or even keep the ball on the green. It’s a tough track because I never had a flat lie. Might be better the second time through because you’ll know the landing areas. But for 4.7 stars, I expected more.

Arnold Palmer designed course
Outstanding design/layout. Green complexes are among the most challenging you'll find anywhere.
