Winter

GA has had a lot of rain recently. Cart path only for this course will be likely until spring time. Greens are always great, make sure you keep your approach shots below the hole. Down hill putts are tough here. Course is always fun, definitely recommend!

I really like the layout of this course. You have to hit your shots to set up your next shot. The greens have always been quick and will challenge your short game and putting. Overall a great course.

Best value around Atlanta

I think Cherokee Run is the best combination of price and condition in the Atlanta area. I live in the middle of the city and it takes me about 35 minutes to get out to the course.
The course was in great shape for a mid-November tee time. My only complaint on conditions are that there are a ton of dead leaves all over the course. While this is to be expected in the fall, it would be helpful if the course had a member of the grounds crew doing laps with a blower. It was not uncommon for a member of our foursome to see their tee shot down in the fairway, but be unable to find the ball once we drove up to it because of all the leaves.
Pace of play was fine for public golf around Atlanta, but not great. It took us about 5 hours to play our round.
Course layout was fun, but make no mistake, this is a hard and hilly track with a decent amount of blind shots. The blind shots coupled with all the leaves scattered on the course made for a lot of “lost balls” that felt like they should have been in play.
Overall I’d absolutely recommend this course to fellow golfers.

Great course

Everyone was very friendly and helpful at the club and the course was an excellent challenge. Only thing that could improve is there’s a huge balcony overlooking the course but no tables or chairs
Will definitely come back

Fast Greens

Kinda your typical tree lined North GA golf course. Many holes have forced carries on the approach which makes for some tough decisions. Fairways and greens were nice. Plays shorter than the ~6500 from the blue tees due to elevation. A couple of really strange holes like hole 8 and 9 with weird/blind tee shots and long approaches. Bunkers were mud/hard packed even though we haven’t had rain in weeks. Pace of play was brutal. No cart service available . Finally saw a ranger on hole 16. Worth the play if you haven’t before, but other courses in the area offer better amenities and service.

Course needs a lot of work.

5 1/2 hr round, Brutal, No Ranger. Will Never play there again. The course is Tough enough, but the Greens are totally Unfair. The course is a Joke.

Pace of Play

Had a scramble before my tee time that was taking forever, also had a putting contest for each group at the turn that slowed everything down more. The tee boxes were awful
