Cherokee Run Golf Club

I really enjoyed the course. It was very well maintained and the level of challenge was about a 4 out of 5. I booked thru Golf Now and made a partial payment for the booking. My receipt said that I would owe $66.50 upon arrival, but was charged $70. It's just $3.50, but I expect honest practices and either Golf Now or Cherokee Run are pinching off a little more than they should. This made my overall experience at the course not as satisfying as it should have been.

Comfy Carts w/gps. Traps need attention. Course was dry and grass struggling to stay gree due to no rain.

Greens were really good.

Cherokee Run is one of the most challenging layouts in Northeast Georgia. The course was known for its beautiful fast greens and premium on shot making. In its past glory, conditioning was typically good to very good. Cherokee Run is now a shell of its former self. The Greens, while well maintained, are slow. Overall coarse condition is at best poor and boarding on unplayable. This layout is too difficult for a golfer to contend with bare fairways, ungroomed bunkers some filled with weeds, and rough that has been grown too long between mowing. Overall, the course is simply shabby akin to pasture turned golf course. Recent years have been some of the financially best times for golf courses since the early 2000s. It is unclear why Cherokee Run has been allowed to rot.

The course is in great condition! Some of the Tee Boxes need a little TLC, but greens/fairways are wonderful. A couple of traps are just hard packed dirt so you have to treat them as such and not really sand bunkers.

Greens are fast but true.

I have played here about 5-6 times. This is one of the best public layouts in GA and is a great test of golf.

Conditions however, have declined the last few times I have played. Bunkers were in the worst condition I have ever seen with more rocks than sand in most hazards. You could also seen the lining in a few of them. Fairways were very dry with brown patches throughout the course. Some of the blue tee boxes were really poor, especially hole 2. Greens were in great shape which was surprising given everything else.

Amenities are always good with nice carts, a good clubhouse but didn’t come across a beverage cart during my 18 holes in peak August heat.

Would not pay the normal $70 for 18 holes as it is not worth that but will play for $32 again whenever there is a hot deal.

Greens were in amazing condition

Vastly better than some private clubs that i have played in recent months

It is a tricky layout with many forced carries

Little inconsistent bounce around greens

Some like concrete others spin back

Greens are narrow and long

Or short and wide - 10

It takes many rounds to learn the course

Rough is brutally hard

Easy to lose balls

Fairways were in excellent condition

My criticisms remain

Blue tee on 2nd hole is horrible

Overhanging trees on 2 and 12 need to be trimmed back

Some tees were very hard - needed water

Staff were wonderful

Really beautiful course, well maintained. The staff is really nice and friendly. My husband and I played twice while on vacation we loved it so much.

Great course, greens and fairways in awesome shape. Course is challenging but a ton of fun and has some really nice variation throughout. Would make the drive from Atlanta any time for this place. Play it!

Gave 4 stars instead of 5 due to all the greens were aerated and sanded making putting very difficult. I understand the need to perform aeration of greens, however, it would be nice if GolfNow could have the courses alert GolfNow and its customers on the GolfNow website when customers are booking tee tmes.

Decent layout, great staff, course conditions were decent. No complaints at all. Will def put this on frequent play list.

Decent layout, some bunkers have seen better days but luckily. I didn’t experience them. Overall decent. Pace was sluggish for a Thursday. Ranger made typical BS attempt to move things along. Instead of having them pick up pace they should make them allow groups through them. But what do I know.

Course would be perfect with a few upgrades, bunkers were underwater on most holes and all needed rehab, base improvements and new sand. Move tractors off tee boxes, it’s hard teeing off when a tractor is 15 feet in front of the tee box. Educate courses maintenance staff of course etiquette, mowing/blowing fairways while your guests are playing nearby, within 20ft, not cool.

Played here several times over the years. Always in reliable shape. Difficult course but fun. Buddy and I got lucky on Saturday morning tee time at 740a as other twosome cancelled. Played in just over 3 hours and enjoyed ourselves. Couple of the tee boxes were dirt, but other than that, course was in good shape.
