Cherokee Run Golf Club

I hated Cherokee Run and cancelled tee times I had two days later. First of all, two of the cups had significant damage on them. I missed a par putt on #6 because the lip of the cup was sticking up out of the ground. On #16, a buddy missed a putt because of the same issue.

The par 5s on the front, #s 3 and 8 are complete jokes. Forced carries to the green on par 5s make it nearly impossible for the average golfer to go to the green in two. #3 requires one shot for the approach, a high fade, if you want any chance of holding that small, shallow green. Add a forced carry to the mix, you have a very unfair hole.

My friends found #8 to be an insult to the game of golf - you HAVE TO hit a draw off the tee, otherwise you're left with a layup of less than 100 yards OR go for the second landing area with a forced carry of $175+. For an amateur golfer, that's not a fun hole.

I think this would be better off as a private course. I visited Cherokee Run during a golf trip in which none of us had played the course, and we were well off the pace, even as we were playing a 2-man scramble. We constantly felt like we were in the way of the course's regular players, many of whom were not nice to us as we were trying to figure out how to play the course.

That said, it's a beautiful course and the staff was nice. The practice facility was above average. However, I'll never play here again, nor will I recommend it to anyone.

Cherokee Run is worth the drive from Atlanta.

The course offers a diverse mix of holes requiring bombs with wide open fairways and those which necessitate pinpoint precision. I enjoyed the variety and was thankful for the advice sheet which the course handed out before I teed off. Definitely ask for their guidance and be sure to follow their tips, particularly on the greens which were extremely penal if you were above the hole.

All of the staff members were extremely welcoming and friendly. They even let my girlfriend play with only a handful of her clubs, rather than requiring an entire set. Given we’d traveled all the way from Chicago, I appreciated their Southern Hospitality in letting us travel with just one bag of clubs.

My lone recommendation would be to deploy a ranger to improve pace of play. On the day we visited, our front 9 was extremely slow due to a few troublesome groups. Thankfully they stopped after 9. As a result, our experience on the back 9 improved tremendously.

Would certainly return the next time I’m in Atlanta.

Played Cherokee Run for the first time. My friends and I loved it. We were greeted by friendly smiles in the Pro Shop and bar/grill.

We will definitely be back.

Many holes. specially on the front nine, require the golfer to hit targets both for direction and distance. If you spray shots bring extra balls, as the course is tree lined for the most part. Pay attention to the slopes of the fairways as a good shot can quickly find trouble by following the slope.

Green speed with fantastic weather and well-organized fairway constant speed, golf course that I really want to come to.

Finally a day less than 90•. Course in good shape even with the hot And dry conditions.

Pace of play was a little slow.

Probably the fastest greens I’ve played all year and that includes fire Dubai and east lake. Get ready.

One of my top 3 public courses in Atlanta area. Too bad you aren’t in buckhead- atl.

Every aspect of this course is fabulous. It is in the best condition of any course in the metro area. Love playing here

Course is challenging but alway in fantastic shape and Staff members on the course and in the club house are very Professional and friendly

If you haven't played Cherokee yet make it a must. Very challenging.

Fairways, fairways and more glorious fairways. It was like having the ball teed up every time you get that sweet FIR! Greens are undulating with plenty of challenging pin selections. Tee boxes were adequate with many tee length options. A few blind tee shots here and there and a couple of wonky par 5’s, that you most likely won’t be reaching in two very often but lots of fun holes to play.

Andy and the guys do a Great job keeping the place up. Top notch course. Worth the money. Really good lunch there. We go eat on Sunday after church sometimes. Cool seeing where the 1996 Cross Country Olympics were held here. Jumps and obstacles are still there. You will have a Great time.
