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.

Cherokee Run
This course is in great shape. The greens are a little slow today but, I'm sure they will be lightening fast soon. My favorite course.
One of my favorite golf courses in Georgia
The course is in great shape. Always challenging. The staff is working hard to keep you safe in these times. I appreciate the effor.
Your feedback is important to us, VanBreezy. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Cherokee Run Golf Club.
Coming around
Today’s round was very nice. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Under the current state of things due to the coronavirus, the course requires booking tee times/payment, online. One player per cart to conform to the practice of social distancing. I liked this quite frankly. I feel it made for a better pace of play. The course is in great shape considering all of the rain we’ve had lately. Some parts of some fairways were washed out but, recovering. The greens were in great shape and rolling well. I love this course and can’t wait to see it back to its old self in a few more weeks.
We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at Cherokee Run Golf Club!
Awesome
This course is in the best shape since it first opened. The lack of play has allowed it to heel....

Fantastic Shape!
This course was amazing! Greens were fast and true, bunkers dry and raked, fairways and collars in excellent condition. GREAT value for the price and am definitely heading back!

Checking new courses to play
Found this on Golfnow app — even with rain and some soft conditions here and there — course was in great shape. Staff was friendly, helpful. Greens were in f great shape. Will certainly play again !!!
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Cherokee Run Golf Club thanks you!
Could be good if dry!
We looked forward to playing here and we are still doing so! The Georgia weather has been dreadful with heavy rain and snow so the course was soggy, very soggy. Not the course's fault but not the right conditions for golf. A number of challenging holes, but decent greens for the time of year. We enjoyed our round and can see that this is a course we would like to return to. But that would have to be in drier conditions.
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.
Great Golf
Great place to play. Fairways, greens and bunkers always well maintained. Not an easy course but beautiful to see and play. Plan to shoot a few strokes higher than you're used to and enjoy.
Hi, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Cherokee Run Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Very Challenging Course
The course requires you to put your ball in fairway and the correct spot on greens. You definitely want to be below the hole.

Wet
It was rainy the ;last two days and course holds water...Ground was soggy but still decent top play Pace of play was great considering cart path only but finished with in 3:30 hours .....Always a great course to play
Hello, Carlos. Thank you for reviewing the course. With the recent rain we are working to get everything back up to par. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Cherokee Run Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon with better weather.
Patrick, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Cherokee Run Golf Club.
Hi Willie, thanks for leaving us a review! We're glad you enjoyed your time at Cherokee Run Golf Club and hope you'll come see us again soon.
Suprising day!
Played this course before and its definitely needs some TLC. Tee boxes need repair. Course was soaked from a storm 3 days ago which was surprising. Does not drain. Cart path only on this course is pretty brutal. Greens in decent shape but seen them better before. Range was closed upon arrival and then open when we finished our round? That was disappointing. Wont be coming back for awhile. Disappointing round.
Love this course
Played at 1250 on Sunday 1/12 after it rained all day the previous day so the course was very saturated but greens were still great. This is my favorite public course around Atlanta. I was able to play in 2 hrs and 37 min and shot 79 and thats after waiting 15 min because my gf waited until we were in the 9th fairway to order food.
Hi Joshua, thanks so much for the five-star review! We are glad that you had a good time despite the weather. Come back to Cherokee Run Golf Club soon!

The Run
Great course from beginning to end. I was greeted with respect in the pro shop and at the first tee. The course is in excellent condition, it’s challenging and rewarding.
One will have a terrific experience if he plays the course. After the round, visit the 19th hole. Great food and drinks.
Hi, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Cherokee Run Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Challenging track but always fun to play.
Greens were in excellent condition. Cart path only due to recent rain. Course doesn’t take rain well due to granite underneath and low lying areas. We moved up from the blue tees to the greens (white) because there was no rollout off the tees.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Cherokee Run Golf Club.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating, Patrick! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Cherokee Run Golf Club!
