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.

Tough greens

Greens were very fast even a day after flooding rains. Was winter so all collar grass dead or gone so with very slick greens you could breath on the ball and it would roll 20 yards off some greens. Still had a great time.

Greens Fast - Pin Placements Were Insane!

Rains a day earlier forced cart-only the entire round. Carts disable forward movement when you attempt it!

Course layout is truly fun, local knowledge will help 1st timers score better. This is a LONG course from the tips, and there are some incredible holes along the round. Several sweet, elevation changes challenge Your Club selection too, so make sure you’re confident with your distances.

Cherokee Run does not disappoint, so bring your “A” game!

Overall great track

The practice facility’s are better than 9/10 public courses anywhere you go. You can tell they take pride in that.

Greens- always roll great but with public play they tend to get beat up from ball marks and the infamous dragging of feet.

I don’t think anyone could ever say anything bad about their zoysia fairways. Tee to green the place is great and always free of debris. Other than the tree on the back 9 par 3 that’s been down for 6 months+.

Bunkers need better drainage in my opinion. It has caused the washout of sand in a few bunkers. Hard to gauge how much sand you have underneath the ball.

Clubhouse is very nice and staff is very friendly. I always enjoy coming here to play.

Challenging uneven lies and great greens

Well maintained. Worth the drive from Atlanta. Great greens but slopes can be tough. Fairways have some tough sloped lies but mostly it's fair. You need a draw if you want to score. Tee boxes suffering a bit from winter but most are level. Can get busy at peak times. Great zoysia fairways were dormant but they're still better than most other courses (bermuda) during winter.

Always enjoy playing here

Played on a very cold day with the course basically to ourselves. Had a blast. The greens were in excellent shape for this time of year. This course is a fair drive from home and we play here specifically for the greens - they did not disappoint. Quick and the ball rolls true which makes for a fun and challenging experience. Course has holes for every handicap - some tough, some easier and some with risk/reward. Really enjoy playing here. Staff was great - we lost a personal item somewhere on the course and they called us straight away when it was turned in by a single player a short while later. Thank you!

Great track, poor starter spacing

Very nice layout, challenging.

A small amount of players, sent out singles and twosomes.

Spacing and people on top of each other all day.

Enjoy this course every time. Front nine is a test with the back a little more forgiving. In the winter season played well. Greens good shape not as fast as a few months ago. But be aware you get in a wrong spot of the green you will three putt. A warm cup of coffee was great on a cold day!

Last great day to play golf 2017

Perfect weather for what may be my last golf outing for year. Great course conditions. Had a great round till #13, how soft can you make a putt on that green? Tripled, dang it. They do need to open new tee on par3 6 as it plays too hard from old tee. Very challenging course, you will get your money's worth for sure.

Cherokee Run Golf Course

The golf course was in excellent condition. And the greens were lightening Fast! You only had to take the putter back an inch and putt the ball and it would roll as if you were putting on your kitchen floor. I really enjoy playing the course.

Bring your A game

Been playing here since it opened in 96. If you want an easy course do not come here you will not be happy. Golf the way it is suppose to be....challenging , great greens and fairways, no noise, no houses, great clubhouse and staff. Bring a few extra balls as you may need them.
