What is Cherokee Village?

Cherokee Village is a quaint town of beauty that offers lake and golf resort style living, nestled in the mountains of the eastern Ozarks of North Central Arkansas.

People from all over the world are drawn to this area to enjoy the stunning scenery and breathtaking views of the Ozarks, and Cherokee Village has been a focal point right in the middle of it all. The community is in the middle of wooded, rolling hills and has numerous clear, clean lakes, and meandering spring-fed rivers and streams all throughout the village.

Founded back in 1954, yet to this day, at approximately only 4600 full time residents, Cherokee Village is still considered a hidden gem to residents and visitors alike. When you come here, you will fall in love with the area's slower lifestyle, low crime, non-existent traffic jams, and room to roam in a natural paradise.

In Cherokee Village, you can have your piece of heaven as you envision, and it is still affordable. Some are looking for a lakefront home so that when they walk out to the backyard, they can take a few steps to their dock and jump in their boat. Some are looking to sit on the deck of their home directly on the golf course and watch the sunset over a fairway after another good day on the course. Still others are looking for a home in the rolling hills with plenty of woods and privacy to enjoy the natural beauty of the Ozarks. If this sounds like what you are looking for, then you have found your destination.

This area is known for its fishing, boating, water-skiing, rafting, canoeing, golfing, hunting, hiking, and even antiquing. Those who are looking to escape the hectic city life, find your retirement spot, a second home, or just find a new vacation spot, then Cherokee Village is certainly the place to consider.

Golf

Golf in Cherokee Village, Arkansas is, in one word…uncrowded.

No tee times.

Yes, you read it correct. Most golfers would think that a scenic course with no tee times and rarely very busy would not exist. Most would say if there are no tee times, then it must be very exclusive and expensive. If it’s not busy, then it must be a poorly groomed course and not very much fun to play.

Wrong on all counts.

Cherokee Village is golf paradise with its two championship eighteen hole golf courses. Both courses are beautiful and uncrowded. Arkansas' mild climate gives you the chance most years to play golf year round.

Cherokee Village South Course is an 18 hole regulation length golf course. The South Course is the longer of the two courses. It is hilly and offers wide open fairways. This championship layout plays fairly long from the back tees at 7058 yards. Modestly difficult, this golf course definitely rewards good shots and can be forgiving of bad ones. You'll enjoy many nice views on the South course. The view from the first tee is incredible as is the view from the clubhouse overlooking the course.

Cherokee Village North Course is also an 18 hole regulation length golf course. This medium-length 6687 yard course offers a more challenging layout than the South Course where strategy and finesse will help. Water is in play on 6 holes. This course has the South Fork River meandering through it and is very picturesque.

Both courses are private and available only to property owners and their registered guests. Both courses have a pro shop and a driving range.

The fees for each course for property owners currently are $13 for 9 holes, $18 for 18 holes, and an all day pass is $29.
