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.

Wonderful round
First time to this course. What a magnificent course. Great practice facility as well as restaurant/bar area. The course was in great shape. They have zoysia fairways which were in perfect condition. The greens were the fastest I have putted on in a long time. If you are on the wrong side of the hole its an adventure. The par 5's were almost all reachable in two with a good drive. I missed several greens and was able to putt due to the grass around the greens cut so low. That helped due to the speed of the greens. Really nice par 3's also. Some long some average length. I will definitely come back to this place. About an hour from the Marietta area.
Good Fairways and Greens
Fairways and Greens were excellent for this time of the year.
Hi, thank you for the four-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you found our fairways and greens in excellent shape. Your feedback is important to us, and we hope to see you again soon.
The Run
The perfect spring day at Cherokee Run! Sunny and 70 degrees with a slight breeze. A great round with three buddies in perfect conditions. You won’t find another course in the area this time of year better conditioned than this track. A challenging but fair test awaits you at all times. Greens are slick, fairways are greening up nice, and the bunkers are improved over past visits. Shot placement off the tee is advised and the gps carts are certainly helpful for accuracy. You must leave approach shots below the hole out here or a difficult two putt remains. The driving range is sufficient with a short game area and a practice putting green. The pro shop and grill are staffed with courteous and helpful employees. A must play!
Hi, thank you so much for your five-star review! We are so happy that you had an awesome time at Cherokee Run Golf Club. We appreciate your detailed feedback, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Great course layout
Played the course for the first time ever today and it did not disappoint!! Great course layout and conditions considering the shape of many of the other courses in Alabama/Georgia from the winter. The greens rolled fast and true, and the pace of play was great. I played 18 as a single in under 3 hrs. The only complaint I have is the rude woman working in the grill who acted like I was intruding by trying to order food. Her actions alone ruined what would have been an overall 5 star experience.
Regarding your second comment, please reach out to tommy.moon@conyersga.gov so we can get to the bottom of this. We are sorry that you had this kind of experience.

Hi Frank, thank you for the five stars! Glad to hear that you enjoyed everything from excellent course conditions to the GPS on our carts. We look forward to you playing Cherokee Run Golf Club again soon.
Great layout and green conditions
Drainage is very poor and most fairways/tee boxes were at least a 1/2 inch of standing water. On a drier day this course would've been amazing. The layout is interesting and challenging.

Great, Hilly and Challenging
. Great course and challenging. Did a lot of walking due the weather, about six holes were cart path only.
Hi John, thank you for the five-star review! We are so glad that you had a good experience with us the other day. We'll see you again soon!
After a long time, I experienced a golf course with a high degree of intolerance. I am 1 hour away from home, but I will visit often.
Best winter golf
Coming down from Boston for the holidays, this was the best option for a great day of golf.
Wet conditions
But there is zoysia fairways for good lies and slick Bermuda for good rolls on the greens. Good conditions for a public course
Difficult Nice Course
Been playing this course since opening during 96 Olympics. Not for the beginner by any means ,difficult course for average golfer from any tees. Zoysia fairways with extremely nice fast greens. Very friendly staff always and great amenities. Bring your BEST game, you will need it.
I love the challenge.
Bad weather great course
Weather was cold windy and wet, but the course held up great and increased my appreciation for the job they do.
