Cherokee Run Golf Club sits in the rolling hills of Rockdale County, within the Georgia International Horse Park. The course was designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay of the Arnold Palmer Design Group and opened in 1995.
The wooded site was occupied for centuries by Cherokee Indians, and project architect Harrison Minchew reported uncovering dozens of arrowheads in the red Georgia clay during construction.
The 18-hole layout plays to a par of 72 at 7,016 yards, with a rating of 75.1 and a slope of 143. It features MiniVerde dwarf bermuda greens, zoysia fairways and 96 bunkers placed throughout. Tall pines frame most of the fairways, and natural granite outcroppings break the surface on several holes.
