About this course

Cherokee Country Club sits in Centre, a small town in the northeastern corner of Alabama near the Georgia border, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region, where elevation changes and natural contours shape the routing and playing experience. Established as a community club serving the local area, Cherokee reflects the traditions of modest Southern golf facilities built to provide recreational golf rather than championship competition. The layout moves across terrain that offers both elevated tee shots and approach plays to greens set at varying levels, typical of courses built on foothill topography. Tree-lined fairways frame holes, and the natural landscape provides definition without extensive manufactured features. The course design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating enough strategic interest to reward thoughtful course management. Cherokee Country Club functions as a social and recreational hub for Centre and surrounding communities in Cherokee County. The club maintains traditions common to small-town Southern golf facilities, where membership extends across generations and the clubhouse serves as a gathering place beyond the golf course itself. The setting offers a quiet, unhurried atmosphere removed from urban centers, with views extending across the surrounding hills and valleys that define this part of Alabama's landscape.

Getting there

The journey to Cherokee Country Club begins at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, roughly ninety minutes to the southwest, or from Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International, about an hour to the northeast. The drive from either hub traces the ridgelines and valleys of northeast Alabama, where Interstate 59 gives way to quieter state routes that wind through wooded hills and past small-town storefronts. As the road narrows and the landscape softens into the foothills of Lookout Mountain, the arrival at Cherokee feels less like a destination reached and more like a discovery made - a classic American club tucked into the folds of Alabama's most unassuming countryside.
