5-some at Cherokee Ridge

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

Excellent Golf Layout

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.

October and 82 degrees

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!

Cherokee Ridge-excellent as always.

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.

Great Course

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.

First Time Playing

Pleasant Surpise!

This course shocked me. I’ve played courses around the United States. This course was one of the best bang for your buck courses I’ve ever played. Maybe it was the perfect weather or the changing leaves…either way, it was just an amazing day of golf. Pace of play slowed up a little due to 5-some playing. Other than that, it was a great time.

Great course

Greens are in great shape. Pace of play is horrible. There were 6 people with 4 carts in front of us and it held up play. Almost did get to finish
Needs a Marshall to speed up.
Aside from that it’s very nice

Great experience

First time at the course and thoroughly enjoyed it. Considering how dry northern Alabama has been the course is in good shape. Good variety of holes and fun to play. Staff was great. Upon learning it was our first time there the Assistant Pro (John?) gave me a brief overview of the course and explained the layout. Great service. Will be back.
