Great shape but very tough

The course is in great shape, overall, though the traps were a bit inconsistent (some had almost too much sand and others not enough). Greens were fast. All that said, the layout is ridiculously difficult on many holes, with trouble all around. If you are not laser accurate, you are likely to find it. It was a fairly frustrating round.

Very fun course. The speed of the greens are deceptive but a lot of fun to figure out. The course was just fertilized and the greens were in good shape.

Too bad the weather played a factor

What a great course we played in Cherokee Run. Unbeknown to us, the course received an inch of rain the previous evening. We found out the front nine (really our back nine as we started on 10) was cart path only at the time of check-in. A big soggy and at times a long trudge to get to our balls. But it is easy to see that this is a great course when not too wet. Price was right and we’ll certainly be back to play when drier.

BTW, food and drink in the 19th hole were great!

Not bad for the cost

Greens were great, fairways and tees much less so, evil greens, ball will roll right off on a bad put. There needed to be a ranger, finally got fed up on back nine, passed two parties holes and no one in front of them for the last four holes. There was a threesome that was playing incredibly slow.

Just as I remember it

I played this course back in the late 90’s when it first opened. It still has fast greens and the course requires shot placement for you to have a manageable score.
Greens= Very good shape, fast and receive the ball well, be below the hole.
Tee Boxes = most are good shape, but are tough to put a tee in.
Fairways = Good shape, heat has taken a toll and need some water.
Pace = Excellent for a holiday
Sand Bunker = didn’t end up in them but they seem pretty good
Clubhouse personnel = Excellent, friendly and the very helpful. The beer selection is good and the food was spot on.

A must to play

If you haven’t played this course due to the fact it’s a long drive for you and golf friends, believe me the course is awesome! Challenging layout!
The greens are perfect not a single green is burnt up! The driving range and practice putting green is top noch! The clubhouse has a real good food I like the club sandwich!!!! Great value to play a course in perfect condition.

Beautiful and Challenging

Been playing about a year now and this is the worst I have ever played. The course is beautiful but it is hard. It was originally designed by Arnold Palmer and man was he unkind. Elevation changes through the rolling hills of the course, the greens for lack of a better word, run. They are hard to read and I left no putt short; they just flew past. Definitely recommend, but definitely for moderate to advanced players and definitely expect your first round to be rough.

Challenging But Worth It

As a gift, I played the more forward Augusta tees.Glad I did. Several holes require both precision and length off the tee. There were a few holes that gave some relief and were shorter, but still required an accurate long iron to take advantage of the shortened hole. The course was in great shape.
