Cherokee Ridge Country Club

One round here and you can see why it used to host a Korn Ferry Tour event. Extremely hard layout that’s narrow, has forced carries, and maybe the most unfair tee shot I’ve ever seen on Hole 14. That said, it’s a fun round, and might be the prettiest course in Alabama. A round at a course like this in other places would cost twice as much. Friendly staff, good amenities, range balls are included. Would recommend going here at least once, but isn’t a course I would play every week given how tough it is.

Course was in very good condition especially considering the recent heavy rains and time of year (late December). Some confusion about where the first hole was and subsequent holes as they were not clearly marked. Made worse since the garmin watch I was wearing confused the front and back nine (a regular told me they swapped them a few months back). No water coolers and very few ball washers on a wet day. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Only real complaint was a sixsome holding up play for a few holes (they eventually let us play thru)

From the clubhouse to the first tee all the way to the green on 18. Very professional and a very fun challenging course. The grass looks amazing. The greens are great highly recommend playing here.

I do not mind the course letting 5 people play but they should be told that they should let faster groups play through!

Wonderful place to play, may have to play several times to get used to the topography

Beautiful course, and even with the drought we have been under the course was well maintained and the greens were fabulous

Cherokee Ridge has seen numerous improvements in course conditions in the past 18 months or so. The new greens are incredible now. The fairways are thicker even with scarce rain this summer. And thank God or someone on the new management staff flipped the nines back correctly. As I write this a trackhoe was working on number 2 s bunkers. I hope he continues on through the rest of the course as many are gravel laden.

Had to play with 80 degree weather at the end of October. Went as a single and played with 3 locals who were wonderful! Had a great time. Very dry but course was in great shape. Bermuda greens were firm and fast and rolled true. The local guys (Chris, Jason & Rich) helped me play my best round at Cherokee Ridge where I have played 5 or 6 times when in North Alabama visiting family. Course layout is great and fall foliage and mountain views were beautiful!

Always a great time at the Ridge! Unique and challenging golf course that’s always in great shape! Can’t beat the Mountain Views all around the course! Go check it out soon if you’re looking for a great place to play!

All was great except someone allowed a fivesome to play and my partner and I sat behind them from the 11th hole until the end. Never offered us a chance to play through. I don’t mind when five play but they should pull over and allow a faster twosome to go by.

We had a great time, the course was challenging but fair.

Beautiful course, very challenging, and well maintained. My only complaint would be there is no cart service and no yardage markers, but I would still play here any chance I get.
