Getting there
Cherokee Run Golf Club is most easily accessed via Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), one of the world's busiest hubs, situated roughly 30 miles northwest of the club; the drive southeast into Conyers typically takes 45 minutes to an hour, threading through the suburban sprawl before the landscape opens into the rolling terrain of Henry County. For those arriving by private aircraft, Peachtree DeKalb Airport (PDK) offers a closer alternative just north of Atlanta, cutting travel time considerably. The final miles unfold along quieter roads that wind past Georgia's characteristic red clay and mature hardwoods, with the approach to Cherokee Run marked by the transition from commuter corridors into the more serene, manicured grounds where the club's championship layout emerges amid native pines and water features.
