Cherokee Valley Golf Club

Cherokee Valley Golf Club sits in Olive Branch, a growing suburb in the northwest corner of Mississippi, roughly fifteen miles south of Memphis, Tennessee. Designed by Don Cottle Jr. and opened in the mid-1990s, the course occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of the northern Mississippi hill country, where modest elevation changes and wooded corridors shape the playing experience. The layout reflects the regional style of accessible daily-fee golf that emerged across the Mid-South during that era, balancing challenge for regular players with playability for a broad membership base. The routing moves through stands of mature hardwoods and pines, with fairways that typically require accuracy off the tee rather than overwhelming length. Water features appear on several holes, and greenside bunkering provides the primary short-game test. The course serves a local membership and welcomes outside play, functioning as a neighborhood facility in a region where golf remains a year-round activity outside the occasional winter weather interruption. Cherokee Valley operates within the competitive landscape of greater Memphis golf, where numerous public and semi-private options serve the area's golfers. The club offers traditional amenities including a practice range and clubhouse dining, maintaining its role as a community gathering point in Olive Branch's suburban setting. The course provides a straightforward test suited to regular weekend play and local league competition.
