Cherokee National Golf & Recreation Club

Cherokee National Golf & Recreation Club plays 7,004 yards at par 72 in Gaffney, along the I-85 corridor in Cherokee County. The course occupies rolling Piedmont terrain with hardwood forests and creek bottoms creating natural hazards. The 7,000-yard length from the tips gives it a legitimate championship feel, and the elevation changes add strategic complexity to approach shots. A driving range is on site.

Premium pricing places Cherokee National in the upper tier of Upstate public courses. Gaffney sits about halfway between Spartanburg and the North Carolina border, making the course accessible to golfers from both states. The surrounding area is more rural than the nearby Greenville-Spartanburg metro, giving the course a quieter setting than suburban alternatives.
