Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Cherokee Rose Country Club a unique course to play?

You'll find Cherokee Rose truly shines on its back nine, where the course tightens up and demands precision. The mature oak trees lining the fairways on holes 13 through 16 create some tight windows, making for a real test of your shot-making. It's a classic parkland layout that rewards smart play over brute force.

We highly recommend visiting in the spring (April-May) or fall (October-November) for ideal conditions. The summer can get quite warm and humid, while winter might see some frost delays, so these shoulder seasons offer comfortable temperatures and the course is typically in peak shape. You'll avoid the biggest crowds too.

Cherokee Rose offers a fair challenge for most golfers, but it's not overly punishing for higher handicappers if you play from the appropriate tees.

We suggest focusing on course management, especially around the water features on the front nine.
