When we got to the course to check in, the guy in the pro shop informed us that the course was closed all weekend for some kind of tournament. He said he wasn’t even sure how we got a tee time. He went ahead and let us play since we had already paid. We had to start in the middle of the back 9 to get behind the tournament. I don’t know how GolfNow decides what tee times and courses to put on the app but, it seems like a good idea to make sure that the course is open. Especially before you make it the featured hot deal! I wish there was a star rating on here for GolfNow somewhere, it would definitely be a 1 for this experience.

This is the first time I’ve played at The Rock and I had high hopes since it was recently renovated. The fairways were in horrible shape, the greens were average and you couldn’t tell where the fairways ended and the rough began. This course has the potential to be very nice if they would hire a grounds crew that knew what they were doing. I will say that the views on this course were very nice.

This a fun course to play but, don't go the day after a very long hard rain; it can be quite sloppy.

The course was pretty nice and well maintained. The only problems I had was the fairways were pretty narrow for my skill level and apparently they play something there called "foot golf" so, they have extra flags all over the front nine with giant holes in the middle of the fairways. The clubhouse also seemed a little sketchy if you wanted something to eat. You just walk right into the kitchen and tell the guy in the apron what you want and also pay the cook for your food. I felt like I was in the middle of some kind of shady drug deal.

This is a very nice course. My only complaint about this course is they do not allow outside coolers on the course.

Cherokee Valley is an awesome course! I'm not a great golfer by any means so, it is a pretty difficult course for my skill level(about a 20 handicap). It is very hilly, which isn't a surprise since its in the mountains. However, that also makes for some awesome views!
