Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort

Great course, beautifully groomed. Very nice pro shop and practice facilities. But there is no bar or restaurant, For a course this elegant, it is a major flaw.

The zoysia fairways and tee boxes really elevated this wonderful layout. They are in desperate need to update the golf carts. The GPS didn’t work on my cart 3 days in a row. The course is so popular now, the pace of play was poor all 3 days. But I will play again when in the area.

Everything about this course is excellent. If you haven’t played golf on perfect zoysia fairways this course will be something special for you,

other than the pace of play two days in a row, I love the course and layout.

Was raining so hard in downtown area and nobody was answering my phone calls so I figured course was closed. 3 hours from my house but I've been wanting to at least see it for 2 years so i stopped by anyway while I was in the area. So glad I did.

Was hesitant to play but players just coming off assured me it drained very well, and they were correct. Rain stayed off, just slight rain, plenty pleasant enough to continue to play.

The clubhouse is basically an 800 square foot house with nothing to speak off but don't let that fool you. Step behind the clubhouse and look at the range...amazing view that only gets better.

at least 14 of the 18 holes can be signature holes elsewhere. No real water to speak of, would've loved a waterfall feature or fountain somewhere.

Pure mountain golf with major elevation changes and undulating greens.

What makes this course so great is not just the artificial turf like conditions that rival any PGA course I've played (Sawgrass, Pinehurst, Summerlin, Scottsdale to name a few) but the layout is absolutely spot on if you play from your proper tees. The yardage length tee to green was planned perfectly including accounting for the elevation changes. One example of this is hole 15 where you're teeing to a fairway that is at least 300 feet below in elevation drop...and your drive will be well over 300 yards...yet with a normal 250 yard drive swing you'll end up dead center of the dogleg. What a tremendous design.

Trent Jones got it right when designing. Elevated tees to greens below on nearly every hole. Maybe one hole you're hitting to an elevated green.

Get a golfnow rate. Don't pay the rack rate of $150+. when you pay $85 and less. Still pretty pricey for my taste but this is by far the best mountain course I've ever played.

I had read all the recent positive reviews and my expectations were still exceeded. I truly enjoyed the course, played the gold tees. As others have mentioned the fairways are in exceptional condition. The greens were very good although slow and golfers are not fixing their ball marks, unreal have some class. Anyway, don’t hesitate, I drove an hour each way and have no regrets. Decent range included hit off grass or nice mats. Amazing views!!!

With a GN Hot Deal rate of $64 it was a steal but well worth the rack rate. The outstanding conditions of the course coupled with the unparalleled views makes this possibly the best course I have ever played. That’s comparing it to course like sawgrass, bay hill, Torrey pines, pelican hill, yocha de he, etc. Need different carts for the up, down, twisty cart paths. Need to be governed downhill and auto lock brakes. If it had amenities such as a full service restaurant it would be considered luxury. Got to plan a trip for my FL golf buddies. MUST PLAY.

Played 7/24 and 7/25. Course is in great shape. Yes, this course is very expensive, but it really is in great shape and super fun to play. You most likely will lose quite a few balls. But fairways were in great shape and so were the greens. I would/will definitely play there again. FYI if your cart GPS goes out, just turn the cart key off while you're putting on a green, then when you're done turn it back on and it should be fine. Also, if your cart has trouble engaging the parking brake, you really need to push super hard on it to get that 2nd click. Mine had a lot of trouble but after they told me the trick I was able to manage it, not a big deal. I stopped off by one of the grounds workers and told them what a great job they were doing keeping the course in such good condition.

Great mountain course. Greens were nice but very slow and spongy. Golf cart was in rough shape. My gps did not work while my partners cart did. Cart drove erratically and really unsafe. Looks like it was turned over a couple times which is not hard to do on this track. I did not get a chance to talk with staff about carts but I highly recommend they perform better maintenance.

This course was literally a beautiful monster. Extremely well maintained and manicured. The setup was tough as nails. I enjoyed the round yet the monster wiped me. If you get the opportunity, you must give the monster a try. You will love it!

Fine conditioned course with beautiful views. Definitely a course to go back and play again. Great value for money and easy to book online with GN app.

This is my favorite course I've ever played. The grass is pristine and the greens are perfect and challenging. Even driving the cart up and down the mountains was fun. Definitely bring extra balls though, the course does not come back to the club house at the turn, and there are many tough shots and hills covered with knee high grass if you stray from the fairway.

It is a excellent public course. The only thing that they need to improve is the riding cart condition. The brake did not work and they really need to upgrade to electric cart, not the LITE from EZ-Go.

The green speed could be a bit faster.

This course is a beautiful monster. It will flat humble you, if you are not on your A game. I’ve played a lot of courses in my 50+ years and this is near the top. The staff was great and the facilities were very clean. This is golf as it should be!

Plenty of opportunities to score on short par 4s with elevated tee shots. The ball will be above and below your feet all day. Use the greens map provided. Being on the wrong tier will humble you quick. Worst case scenario, you play like garbage and enjoy breathtaking views. Book it.
