Unforgettable Golf in a Stunning Setting

Cherokee Ridge boasts an 18-hole masterpiece – a par-72 course meticulously crafted by renowned architect Sammy Dean. Stretching over 6,700 yards, it’s a testament to the harmonious marriage between golfer and nature. The course seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape, weaving its way through towering trees, over rolling hills,  and along sparkling water features.

The front nine presents a strategic challenge, where several holes are set along a 17-acre lake, requiring precise shot placement. The back nine takes a different turn, winding through a majestic forest of pines and hardwoods. Players are treated to a view of the cascading waterfall on Lynn’s Creek from three holes, that providing a picture-perfect moment to pause, reflect, and soak in the serenity. Each hole is a signature experience, a testament to the artistry of design and the power of nature’s beauty.
