I must say this course is a gem and the value is top notch. Playing the front 9 I didn’t think much of it. I didn’t hit a drive for the first 4 or 5 holes. A few quirky holes and 3 shot par 5s that I wasn’t a huge fan of but after playing the back my opinion changed. I love the back 9. Everything that is quirky and tough about the front is flipped 180 degrees on the back. Both par 5s are reachable in 2 and other holes are very scoreable. I love the balance between the 2 nines. The greens are the best public greens I have played in ATL. They were quick and true. A few bunkers in need of cleanup but that’s to be expected after the 24 hours of rain we have had. I do have to say from tee to green the back 9 seemed to be in a little better shape but I’m really just being picky. Go out at play Cherokee Run! You won’t regret it! I can’t believe I swung a golf now deal for $22. I’d pay the normal rate to play there.

Awesome course, great conditions tee to green. This is the first course I have played that I’d consider 5 stars in the ATL area. I have played River Pines, Cobblestone, Bridgemill, Wolf Creek, and Bears Best. The greens were rolling quick and true compared to other courses in Northern Atlanta. Love the golf course! Only thing keeping me from coming back in the near future is the price tag. It’s worth every penny if you can get a discount/hot deal though. Anything less than $60 is fantastic for this track. Definitely in the best shape out of all the ATL public courses I’ve played.

First off, I played early on a Monday morning so the pace of play was fantastic. I think I finished in just under 4 hours.

The course condition is excellent. They did aerate the greens a few weeks ago but they are healing nicely and did not effect the roll at all. The greens were a touch slow but that was most likely do to the recovery of them. The tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. MX was working on the bunkers after much rain the day before. The ones that had been attended to were in great shape.

The layout is top notch. The first 6 holes are awesome. I’m a huge fan of each of those holes, highlighted by the 6th which is the replica of murfields par 3. Such a stunning and tough hole. The back 9 was very challenging as well but was not quite as memerable as the front. #11 is another tough but awesome par 3.

Overall, I’d highly recommend but find a deal. I don’t think this course is worth the $80 bucks it is prime time. I do think that it’s worth every dollar at the price tag of $50 or less. Enjoy!

I get it, the course is a hard one to walk. The length between tees could be a 5 min walk but when the course is wide open on a Tuesday with 5 cars in the parking lot, players should have the option to walk at a cheaper rate. Unfortunately, the value just wasn't there with the required cart. Extremely overpriced and I wouldn't recommend paying more than $40 to play this track.

The course layout is average overall. I do like the back 9 much more than the front. The back 9 also has a lot more blind tee shots. You need to play more than once to see where your lines are off the tee. Fairways, tee boxes, and the rough is in good shape. The greens are okay, a bit fluffy and slow, but typical for bent greens in the middle of the summer.

I still recommend the course, but don't be foolish and pay full price on the weekend or weekday.

This is the only true links style type golf course in the Chicago area that I know of. The front 9 is brilliant and the back 9, although not as great as the front, it does not disappoint. 18 is a fantastic risk reward finishing hole. The thought that went into the undulations on and around the greens create so many creative options. Snagged a hot deal at $18 walking and the course was in good condition considering it’s early in the year. Greens were a bit rugged but again to be expected in April. Must play golf course for that rate. I know this course’s rate is around $80 during prime time weekends over the summer, I believe that’s a bit high and would like to see it around $50-$60. Prob not worth playing at $80. I’m all about value though. I would highly recommend this golf course. Such a fantastic layout, and is easily a top 10 track in Chicago. If you can get a good rate then go play it! Now!

Played 3 courses on a two day trip down to Ft. Lauderdale, Jacaranda West, Woodmont and Osprey Point. This course by far was the best course for the money and the best quality. Unfortunately, we were told by a staff member that if we teed off by 2:30 we would finish either and he made it seem like we would easily finish. We weren't even close! Only finished 13 holes. The pace of play was extremely slow. Besides that it's a challenging and well designed course. I will be back, just don't expect to play the round under 5 hours.

Had a 11:08 tee time and because they decided to run an outing off the back they tried to get players making the turn and starting tee times off simultaneously it was a mess. For a single, I didn't get off the first tee until 11:40. Ridiculous! Course is rough shape. Greens seemed to be dyed green not sure though but they do roll true. Easy layout. I wouldn't spend more than $20 on this course.

We played this course for 80 bucks on a Sunday morning and couldn't be more disappointed. The staff was friendly and the course layout was challenging along with the undulating greens but the condition of the course was not up to par for $80! Rocks in many of the bunkers, patchy greens that did not roll true and poor yardage markings. I saw other reviews mentioned that the place was possibly being bought out. Not sure if that's true but the condition of the course does raise suspicion. The course needs a bit of work. For half the price the course may be worth it but not for the price we paid.

Old school course layout with small greens and tight fairways. Leave the driver in the car! If you want to score well here you have to keep the ball in the short stuff. Anything outside of that is pretty much dead and you will be scrambling just to make par or bogey. Overall, cool course that doesn't bode well unless you can shape some draws and fades. Greens slightly slow in my opinion but roll true. Will play again!

If you can get a hot deal at this golf course, then do it! One of the most challenging courses in the area with quick greens. If you are on the wrong side of the hole you literally can't get it close. Be sure to miss on the right side! Overall, great course that is rather expensive without a hot deal.
