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.

Aeratiion

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.

Nice layout

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 needs a few improvements

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.

Great Round

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.

Cherokee in decent shape - some advice

I like the layout of the course

Some really excellent holes

Greens were solid and airways lush

They were pumping water into course

Staff were working on course doing some additional work at front of 8th greens

Nice work

Still i think it could be even better with some modest work

Blue tee on 2 is gone - they need to trim trees on left had side to take the wear off the right hand side of tee. Also get more light on tee and sod the tee

Excellent par three 12 - cut trees on right side that are growing in too far for tee shot

Few places have extreme gaps from rough to cart path.. Build some transition ramps and have better signage on where carts should exit..

Great track.

Play this course often and it’s always a great challenge. Tee boxes could use some attention. Course has some bite to it so be prepared to use every club.. If you can play here, you can play anywhere.

Always a good time if pace is reasonable!

I enjoy this course each time I get to play it, about 5-6 times a year. It’s once of the best, affordable public course in the Atlanta area. Course conditions were great, except a little inconsistent greens, but within respectable range. Pace was very decent considering the amount of players. Staff was very nice and courteous. Looking forward to another round soon!
