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.

Great value - l conditions could be better

We received a great price to play this course. It is a great Arnold Palmer, design and layout. Some of the tea boxes were in rough condition and some disease on the greens but overall good conditions just not great or outstanding.

Course has great bones - will be back

Played in 4 hours mid week

They have treated the greens for poa

So many bare spots that will grow back but they still rolled very well.

First hole reminds me of Friar Heads

Many greens are protected by creeks

Tee boxes are a little bare in places

Many great holes

Starter did a good job

Pro shop is nice

Had a awesome lunch on balcony overlooking the 9th green

Grilled shrimp tacos and grilled chicken wrap

Practice facilities were solid and close to clubhouse

Will be back..

Drove 55 mins to play and will be back

Will try this one again

Interesting course. Than goodness the starter gave us a "cheat-sheet" with a little description of each hole. Also helped immensely to have the GPS on the cart. Some very interesting holes. Some rough spots here and there on the course that need a little attention, but most of them are in spots you don't want to be. Greens rolled true and were in great shape, Want to play again when everything greens up.

Like the course....

I like playing here when I can. The clubhouse is currently being renovated so nothing was happening with the restaurant. No beverages being sold on the course. What was somewhat irritating is that they kept letting twosomes out after our foursome. Obviously two are going to play faster than four so we had to keep letting twosomes play through and thus delaying our round. I follow golf etiquette but I'll only allow two groups to play through from now on. We play pretty fast as a foursome but we don't play faster than a single or twosome. We let way too groups play through that day causing our round to take longer.

Love layout but ..

I love the layout of this course and play it a few times a year always enjoyable. The restaurant was closed for remodel. The golf carts are very comfortable.

In need of repair the bunkers were terrible and have Stones everywhere and have bottomed out. Along the cart path the ground has deep potholes in the dirt and many hard pan areas.

The greens were fast and firm but have a lot of poana clumps of grass which throw your putt off.

Winter

GA has had a lot of rain recently. Cart path only for this course will be likely until spring time. Greens are always great, make sure you keep your approach shots below the hole. Down hill putts are tough here. Course is always fun, definitely recommend!
