Cherokee Country Club

Cherokee Country Club sits in Centre, Alabama — the seat of Cherokee County in the northeastern corner of the state, where the foothills of the Appalachians begin to roll in earnest and the Coosa River carves through the landscape. This is a part of Alabama that most traveling golfers overlook entirely, which tends to suit the people who live here just fine. The surrounding terrain is genuinely hilly, wooded, and scenic in a way that a flat-state country club simply cannot replicate.

As a private country club serving a small, tight-knit community, Cherokee Country Club functions as the social and recreational anchor for the area's golfers. Courses in this corner of the state tend to reflect their geography — routing that works with the natural contours of the land, tree-lined fairways, and a feel that rewards local knowledge over raw power.

Centre sits along Weiss Lake, one of the most popular fishing destinations in the Southeast, which shapes the character of the whole region. Expect a course that feels rooted in its community — unhurried, unpretentious, and genuinely local.
