Matthew exemplifies the hands-on approach and wants to make Cherokee Valley the most fun, inviting, talked about club in the region. His talents and perspective are broad.

Golf Superintendent

Chad has a simple perspective to a very demanding job: “if it’s green, it’s mine.” Truer words were never spoken. Essentially, anything in and around the golf course—greens, fairways, rough, landscaping, even irrigation—is Chad’s responsibility. Chad knows this course well, he’s been at Cherokee Valley for 20 years. Prior to that, he was at Glen Cannon in Brevard and Connastee Falls in Brevard. “I’m used to mountain courses,” he says, “and even though we are in the foothills, this course looks and plays like a true mountain course—with the elevation shifts and great views.”
