About The Venue

at Cherokee Valley

Open to the public, Cherokee Valley offers much more than our 18-hole par 72 golf course designed by P.B. Dye. Our event space, The Venue, is an enchanting, versatile space that offers a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces to suit your vision. The standalone full-service restaurant Core 450 is an unique innovative gathering place like no other in the Upstate. It provides catering, culinary services, and much more!

What our Guests have to say...

The Venue is a Beautiful place! Adjacent to the golf course with stunning views. You definitely want their catering, which is done by Chef Gene, from their Core 450 dining restaurant and is just fantastic! Everyone should consider this place for their wedding, Christmas parties or reunions. Corporate meetings can be combined with golf afterwards! Very comparably priced too. Will definitely use again & again.

Nothing but the highest praise for this venue! Katie Sphon and the staff at Cherokee Valley made our daughter's Wedding reception so beautiful! Katie planned and executed the perfect night! She quickly responded to all of our questions and requests and was involved with each detail from start to finish. Core 450 (on site restaurant) did an excellent job with the food and service for 135 guests and were so gracious with our guests. The setting is beautiful. We used both the indoor and outdoor space. Our guests especially enjoyed the wrap around porch with rockers to sit and watch the dancing and cornhole games that were played. There are even beautiful cottages that guests can rent right on property. Go take a tour if you are looking for a venue in this area! You won't be sorry! 5 Stars are not enough!

The venue was gorgeous!!

The staff, chef, and owners of The Venue at Cherokee Valley made our daughter's wedding amazing. The views, food and memories will be talked about for years to come. I highly recommend others to consider the The Venue for their wedding day.

I cannot say enough good things about Katie and the team at Cherokee Valley. Due to circumstances behind our control, we were looking for a rehearsal dinner venue one week before the event. Cherokee Valley was recommended to us and my only regret is that I did not find them sooner. When we arrived, everything was set up and Katie was there to help decorate the tables. The venue is beautiful. I highly recommend Cherokee Valley!

My husband and I got married in October 2024, and truly it was a beautiful intimate wedding. The food was amazing - we received so many compliments. We also experienced the best service with Katherine who led the event services. As a bride you work with many vendors and some don’t give you great service, others are money hungry and take advantage of you, but truly truly Katherine was one of the few people who we felt comfortable and she had the best interest for us. Our wedding was near the hurricane and although her and her team and community were impacted, she never forgot about also reassuring us about our special day. Again, the location is beautiful, the service was by far the best I received, and the food was something that everyone including myself never forgot. It was a magical day.

Where do I begin? This was an absolutely wonderful experience from the venue tour all the way to the clean up. Katie, the venue director, was the most helpful and collaborative person you could ask to work with. Always there for suggestions and guidance and to answer questions. A true professional and a delightful person. About the venue, it was the perfect size for our event of about 80 people, but had space for plenty more. The space is designed to be flexible so you could host any event here. Both indoors and outdoors are spacious and well manicured, and can be set up to accommodate any needs for your event. Great features like a bridal suite (if needed), a small prep space for catering, a bar area (that is also discreet enough to not be crowded wasted space if unused), spacious restrooms, and a gorgeous wrap around porch perfect for cocktail tables and mingling. I can’t sing high enough praises for this venue and its director. I have planned dozens and dozens of large scale events in my day, and this is by far the best experience I’ve had with any venue. I will definitely be using this venue again for any events I have coming up in the future.
