Cherokee Ridge Golf Course

About Cherokee Ridge Golf Course

This public track carved into the foothills delivers legitimate mountain golf without the premium pricing you'll find at Colorado Springs' resort courses. The layout takes full advantage of the dramatic elevation changes and natural terrain, with several holes playing significantly uphill or downhill through stands of scrub oak and pine. What sets Cherokee Ridge apart from other municipal options in the area is how the routing feels more like a private club design, each hole has its own character rather than feeling like holes were simply squeezed onto available land. The conditioning punches well above its weight class for a public course, and the pace of play tends to be more reasonable than the tourist-heavy tracks closer to downtown. At 4.4 stars from nearly 450 reviews, it's clearly resonating with locals and visitors alike who appreciate solid golf without the frills. The walking-friendly policy is a nice touch that's becoming increasingly rare, especially on courses with this much elevation change, making it a solid choice if you prefer to hoof it rather than ride.
