Cherokee Valley Course and Club

Course in good shape and loved the elevation changes.

Beautiful day . The course was interesting and had some challenging elevation changes and some blind shots.
Greens were in good shape remainder of course maintenance could be stepped up.
Lunch sandwiches at the half way house were very good.

We were one of the early morning foursomes and it took 2 1/2 hours to play the front nine. A threesome two groups in front of us were slow and wouldn't let others play through. No on course Marshall to push them to pick up the pace. Several twosomes skipped holes because they tired of waiting. Those are players lost forever to Cherokee.

Took a chance by driving down south to Cherokee Valley GC from Hendersonville NC. Course was in great shape, greens were smooth , lot of different types of golf holes, some views were better than spectacular. Pro shop had great deals and the staff couldn't be nicer. Played in under 4 hours and I would make another visit to this place in a heartbeat . Bob in the pro shop help us with any questions we had and will visit there again.

Fairways were pretty good but the tee boxes had uneven grass and the greens had no grip at all. Might as well put some putt putt carpet as the greens it would play just as good and save on the water bill. Horrible greens for what this course should and could be.

Quality has slipped since last year. Several greens on the front 9 are patchy. Tee boxes are not level in many cases and struggling for grass (#13 is a lost cause). Fairway grass is thin, leaving tight lies. Other (less expensive) courses in the area are in better shape this time of year. The fairway bunkers on #14 are littered with rocks (like ... A LOT of rocks ... 1 every 6" I'd say).

For $43, I felt like I was not getting the course value for my money.

Now, the views are phenomenal on the course. So maybe that's what you are paying for. If you want a beautiful day outside you can't beat Cherokee ... but if you just want a round of golf on better than average conditions, look elsewhere.

Great course with helpful staff. Tee boxes need work. Greens where good. Nice speed and contour. Need to go look at landing areason so you do not hit wrong Club off tee. Would play again and again.
Witnessed an ace on their signature hole par 3 15th. Beautiful views.

Really enjoyed my round. The holes are all much shorter than usual, presumably because of the extreme elevation changes. Definitely a mountain course. Some great views. Most of the holes are very straight. The hole with the waterfall was definitely my favorite. Even with the cart you have to do a lot of walking on this course because there are many holes where carts aren't allowed ( due to the steep inclines). The front nine was more interesting and in better shape than the back nine.

This is a fantastic course for a great price. Beautiful views. The course is in good shape. Very little traffic so pace of play is good. Its a little bit of a drive for me but worth the trip.

The course is in very good shape. Lots of elevation changes and the view on 15 is spectacular. Greens were smooth and rolled true. Not very busy when I was there so the pace of play was very good. Nice little practice areas next to the clubhouse and good food at the turn. Can't beat it for the price.

My playing partner and I were extremely disappointed with the pace of play at this course. 18 holes took 5 & 1/2 hours. There was no ranger on the course and the tee times scheduled too close together. Several times there were three foursomes on the tee at the same time. Also, the guy in the clubhouse told me the green were rolling good when I called to make the tee time. He lied. They had punched the greens about 9 or 10 days prior to our arrival and putts bumped all over the place. I think the management of this facility could use some new people or some training for the ones there now. I will have to take a while to decide if I ever go back to Cherokee Valley......

I really like Cherokee Valley. It's a challenging course for myself, but who doesn't like a challenge.

The course was in great condition, except for the greens. Which had been recently aerated and sanded. And I do mean sanded! I understand the reason for this, but a heads up would be great.

We had an early tee time to avoid the extreme heat and the greens had been aerated and were very sandy and damp so putting was a challenge but as the round progressed, they dried out and putted a bit better but not as good as they should have.
One strange thing about this course is that they don't have any holes markers so you have to pay attention to your scorecard and we took a wrong turn going from the 17th green to the 18th hole and actually played the 14th again until we realized our mistake as the next hole was a short par 3. Some of the tee boxes had dead grass and this is probably from the freeze and now the heat.
Course has some quirky holes and without a guide book you wouldn't have any idea of how to play since they blind tee shots so you need to drive up and get a look @ the landing areas. I played from the white tees on the front 9 and then the senior tees on the back - the difference isn't that much but I shot much better as I was hitting short irons into most of the greens on the back. The course on the back plays shorter than on the front with a premium on accuracy off the tee.

Really enjoyed the layout and 6500 yes from back tees was challenging but fair. Greens fun to putt but slopes made them difficult. Only down side were the traps which were hard and washed out a bit but didn't take away from a great golf experience. I went back the next day on a Friday afternoon and played in 3:15 versus 4:45 the first day teeing off at 12

It has everything you could ask for in a golf course,so be ready for a challenge

Only got a few gripes. No ranger to enforce pace of play. They need to combine 2somes. Last is the bar/grill/bathrooms close at 4pm on Sunday. Why so early? Besides that the course is in great condition.

Always a good time at Cherokee Valley. Don't get too distracted on #15!

I had heard a lot of good talk about Cherokee Valley and it exceeded my expectations. Fun to play, some tricked up holes but all in all, a good golf course to play. I'm a walker so it might not fit into my regular schedule. The annual fees sound reasonable and include a cart which obviously takes away my ability to walk the course. I'll be back and let my golf partner drive the cart and walk as much as I can.

Looking for a great challenge with tremendous views? Well Cherokee Valley is the perfect fit for both of your needs.

It's a great course with some beautiful views. But my goodness, those greens are elevated. Better have a good loft to get it up there and to stay.
