Designed by Pete Dye's architect son, P.B. Dye, Cherokee Valley, located north of Greenville, offers top-notch golf with the spectacular Blue Ridge Mountains as a backdrop. The par-72 layout isn't long at 6,728 yards from the black tees, but the dramatic elevation changes - plus Champion Bermuda greens - makes for a fun and challenging round. Especially memorable are the signature 16th hole overlooking a waterfall and the par-3 8th hole offering views of the mountains.
