Ahhhhhh ok. Yes I know that hole. If you hit a nice draw there however the approach can be a fun shot.
How do I know if someone has never played cherokee run without them saying they’ve never played cherokee run.
I played Trophy Club Atlanta today, and man the course was in absolute shit condition (not talking about wet/rainy conditions). Guy I was playing with mentioned that apparently the course was sold and getting redeveloped into a new housing master planned community - hard to tell if the golf course is getting scrapped or if the homes are being built throughout. I got the impression from him that the course was getting scrapped.
Did some digging since I am in the CRE / RE Development industry, and found this OM for the sale: https://www.cbre.us/resources/fileassets/US-SMPL-46763/49aa6d77/3c1f96fc-c7b8-4da7-a80c-2a1d09458e7f.pdf
Sad to see another sub $75 public option going away.
Agreed. Find the fairway at the top of the hill and you can kinda fire away without worry on the second. It’s just the tee shot that is a nightmare.

That shot is the stuff of nightmares. I’ve played Chastain dozens of times, and I think I’ve hit this fairway once. If they send you off the back and this is your first swing of the day, forget about it. The only way to really play this hole is to hit up 18 fairway.
New to The Nest and wanted to check in on the ATL roll call. Live in Grant Park and have been playing up at Rivermont for the past couple of years.
@PurpATL , saw you mention that you’re on the wait list at Rivermont. Let me know if you want to get out and play. Same goes for anybody else on this thread.

Welcome @ChillyWilster. Good group of folks around Atlanta a few other Rivermont members as well. Rivermont is definitely the darling private club of the refuge that everyone would love to go play and seriously consider joining!
Hope we can play soon, private or public. Also, what is your least favorite hole in Atlanta metro golf?

#9 at Cobblestone, for personal reasons. Nothing against the actual hole, per se, but I dislocated my knee cap many years ago on #9 tee box and haven’t been back since.
Also, anything at Steel Canyon. Haven’t been there in a very long time, but absolutely despise that place.

If we’re talking least favorite / worst hole in Atlanta, #8 at Cherokee Run is the undefeated champ. Absolutely the worst I’ve ever played…

The chokepoint on that hole at 280 yards off the tee is infuriating. Congrats on hitting a great drive down the middle, we’ve rewarded you with a downhill lie in thick rough.

I have a huge problem with that tee shot. Most recently played out there on MLK Day and thought I hit the perfect tee shot to set up a shot to get over the waste land and have a wedge in. Wrong. Ran up the hill on the back of the fairway for a spicy sidehill lie. Punch one out into the middle, get over, and try again next time. Playing behind par the whole way in.
Welcome @ChillyWilster ! I was a lurker for a while and finally joined the nest a couple months ago. This has turned into my primary golf forum (sorry MGS, WRX, and thesandtrap) and is competing for reddit screentime.
Be sure you to check out this thread for the upcoming event in June!
ps - 7 people ahead of me on Rivermont waiting list (young 30s bracket) - in order for one to join, 2 have to leave… could be a few months before I am in! I may take you up on your offer to get out and play. Let me know if you ever need a fill
I dunno, i might be turning around on this hole. This is the eagle putt i had the last time I played it talking.
Nevermind, ya boi was misinformed.
Love it. Checking the calendar now to see what the availability looks like for that weekend.
I just saw the Rivermont newsletter saying that it’s 2 out, 1 in. I think there’s some turnover in the early 30s bracket, so it might speed along. It’s definitely been a tough spot to get an early tee time over the last year due to COVID demand. Maybe that will slow up a bit with the vaccine rollout and people starting to venture out into the world a bit more. One can only hope… Will for sure let you know if we ever need a fill in out there.
Anyone in this thread played Cuscowilla before/recently? I’m playing there soon, aside from being a Coore/Crenshaw what’s the Refuge’s take

I get to play it a couple of times a year and most recently played out there at the beginning of March. Of the courses I’ve played in GA, it’s probably my favorite. Fun layout with some classic Coore/Crenshaw feel to it. It was still a bit brown a few weeks ago, but given the warmer temperatures over the last couple weeks, I’ll bet it’s looking very pure now.
Great merch in the pro shop, as well.
