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 Looking Course!

Nice layout with a couple of holes that were gimmicky forcing you to make some accurate shots. The greens were slick which I couldn’t get use too leading to a high number, no fault of the course. The fairways and greens were manicured nicely. I believe you would have to play this track several times to enjoy it. I only interacted with a couple of the staff and they were friendly. Overall the course was in great shape and I will play here again.

Awesome!

I play a lot of golf...excellent experience. I am the member of a private club and have played over 50 courses in GA....this is one of the best! The greens I just couldn’t figure out...don’t think that is the courses fault but I just couldn’t get the speed and break (lack thereof on most holes) dialed in. Definitely worth the drive and price! If it wasn’t an hour and a half away, I could play this track a lot more!! It is a must play! You will have a blast!

Very nice course

Played only nine holes due to Very hot weather. But the course was in excellent shape and truly enjoyed myself. Greens excellent and staff excellent. I will put this course in my rotation. I usually play at StoneMtnGolf so I’m very picky.

Well worth my drive and money spent. Will play 18 nextime. Arnold Palmer design a great course.. very challenging and the layout very nice.

Course was in great shape!

Other than a few wet spots, the course was in great shape. Beverage cart came around three (3) times and on a hot-hot day that was great. Clubhouse was friendly and efficient. Carts were cleaned and sanitized before they went out. Greens were lightning fast. Overall, it was a fun and challenging day!
