Overall its a nice course

It was my first time playing an Arnold Palmer course and I have to say I enjoyed it. It's a fun and challenging course, but the pace of play issues really needs to be addressed. The fairways were in good shape, but the tee boxes were rough and the greens were dormant making it very difficult to hold the green with any shot or stick it close to the pin.

I rated it average due to the pace of play, the first 3-4 holes went smoothly and my buddy and I didn't have to wait for the group ahead of us once. Around hole 5 through hole 18 we waited 5-10 mins every shot. The group ahead of us was playing slowly and taking it a little too seriously just to slice the ball into the woods, and then put another ball down and hit again.

But they also were held up by the foursome in front of them, and they were playing horrendously slow. The course got so backed up from them that the group behind us pulled up to us at every tee box and had to wait for us to tee off, and then hit our approach shots and or chips/puts for getable holes or par 3's. The course does not have a ranger policing the course what so ever, causing us (a twosome) to play a 6 hour round..... There was also no cart girl which was a bummer.

I would recommend it to a friend or play again, would love to play the course and see what its like during the summer and prime conditions.

Great way to spend a beautiful day

Today was the best "weather day" in a 10 day stretch for our area. I could not think of a better way to spend the day. The course was in excellent shape for this time of year. The fairways were outstanding as were the greens. Not sure why we never saw a snack-person on the course, so we had to wait until the turn for food and drinks. Aside from that, it was a perfect day all the way around.

Best Value Public Course Near Atlanta

Played the course in early March, when conditions tend to be sketchy at most public/semi-private courses, pending the Spring “green-up”. The layout is challenging and interesting. Some tee boxes were a bit sparse, but the fairways were better than most courses I have played lately and the greens were great. The bunkers actually had sand and were well-maintained (something many courses have neglected as of late).
Overall, I would say that Cherokee Run may be the best value public course in close proximity to Atlanta. Well done.

Tough course but nice track!

You better be able to hit your ball if you wanna play this course! It is not amenable to a high handicapper. If you shoot over a 100, don’t frustrate yourself. I tend to shoot mid 80s or lower and I struggled significantly with it’s being my first time playing. Your goons get some double bogeys and few pars. But to be clear, it’s a really nice course and the greens are still healthy but not fast, the latter of which I prefer. The course is a very creative and challenging layout with A LOT of doglegsc bunkers, and a reasonable number of water hazards. Many of the fairways are tilted so you have to place your ball strategically for your next shot; and play the “slope.” Carts are in great shape and staff was friendly with a nice clubhouse.
