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.

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!

Great challenging course

Bring lots of balls you'll need them. Challenging course even more so when the ground is frozen. It was 25f when we started and the greens were frozen solid which made it even more fun. The carts are the best I've seen. Built in GPS course info screens and ball cleaners.

I really like the layout of this course. You have to hit your shots to set up your next shot. The greens have always been quick and will challenge your short game and putting. Overall a great course.

Tough course but nice track!

You better be able to hit your ball if you wanna play this course! It is not amenable to a high handicapper. If you shoot over a 100, don’t frustrate yourself. I tend to shoot mid 80s or lower and I struggled significantly with it’s being my first time playing. Your goons get some double bogeys and few pars. But to be clear, it’s a really nice course and the greens are still healthy but not fast, the latter of which I prefer. The course is a very creative and challenging layout with A LOT of doglegsc bunkers, and a reasonable number of water hazards. Many of the fairways are tilted so you have to place your ball strategically for your next shot; and play the “slope.” Carts are in great shape and staff was friendly with a nice clubhouse.
