Nestled against the breathtaking backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains, Cherokee Ridge Country Club showcases a fantastic layout and terrific playing conditions.
Located in Union Grove, AL, Cherokee Ridge is approximately 30 minutes south of Huntsville.
The course design takes full advantage of the rolling hills, whispering woods, lakes, and streams throughout the property. The result is a course that not only challenges players with its strategic layout but also captivates them with its awe-inspiring scenery.
The greens were converted from Bentgrass to TiffEagle in 2022 to better tolerate the extreme Alabama summers, and they have fully matured into pristine condition.
Much of the opening nine plays along a 17-acre lake, and is highlighted by a couple of spectacular par threes – holes five and eight.
The second nine meanders through the hardwoods and pines. You’ll also have an opportunity to take in the majestic 40-foot waterfall behind the 14th green.
Each hole offers a unique blend of natural obstacles and strategic design elements, ensuring that players are challenged throughout the round. But Cherokee Ridge was not designed to punish the golfer. It is a fun and fair test for players of all abilities.
Whether you’re a seasoned golfer seeking to test your skills or a recreational player looking to enjoy a leisurely day on the course, Cherokee Ridge offers something for everyone. The combination of stunning views and exceptional course conditions creates an environment where every hole feels like an occasion.
Experience golf at its finest at Cherokee Ridge Golf Club – where nature’s beauty enhances every aspect of your game.
