High-tech golf driving range coming to Cherokee County

In the summer of 2027, Cherokee County golfers will be able to refine their skills at a high-tech practice range and golf academy that’s scheduled to open in Woodstock by late July. RangeWorks, located at 1465 Woodstock Parkway, is under construction now on a 3.5-acre lot adjacent to The Outlet Shoppes of Atlanta complex. Founder and owner George Mattingly says RangeWorks will combine the best aspects of outdoor golf ranges where shots are hit into open fields and indoor facilities where golfers hit balls directly into screens that use technology to provide feedback on the distance, direction and quality of shots. “We want to be in between the traditional range and the screen experience where the ball travels only about 10 feet before hitting a screen,” Mattingly said. “I want my patrons to have more ball flight and more of an organic experience than just hitting the screen.” A golfer practicing from one of RangeWorks’ 32 practice bays will see his or her shots travel about 80 yards before making contact with a screen that will send instant feedback on the shot’s performance to a screen at the practice bay. “So you experience the flight of the ball, and then

Woodstock’s Noonday Creek Trail extension to open Saturday

The Noonday Creek Trail Extension linking Woodstock to Cobb County will officially open to the public on Saturday, the city of Woodstock announced. The new trail segment extends Woodstock's existing Noonday Creek Trail south by 1.5 miles, connecting the trailhead near the Woodstock Arts Event Green to Noonday Park in Cobb County. Woodstock and Cherokee County’s trail system is now connected to the one in Cobb County, where officials are planning to eventually connect the Noonday Creek Trail to the Silver Comet Trail, one of the largest paved trails in the United States. "This project has been nearly a decade in the making, and we're thrilled to celebrate its completion," Mayor Michael Caldwell said in a statement. "The Noonday Creek Trail Extension is much more than a recreational amenity. It strengthens regional connectivity, expands transportation options, and creates new opportunities for residents and visitors to experience the natural beauty of our community and beyond." Woodstock officials broke ground on the project in December 2023 with representatives from Cherokee County, Cobb County, the Atlanta Regional Commission, and the Georgia Department of Transportation. Part of the trail connection runs under Highway 92. The project received funding support from the Georgia Department of

Cherokee County celebrates opening of Woodworth Park

CHEROKEE COUNTY — Cherokee County and Cherokee Recreation and Parks leaders celebrated the completion of the first phase of the new Woodworth Park in southwest Cherokee Tuesday with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The first phase of Woodworth Park includes the entrance, parking area, playground, green space and lawn area and walking trails. "To see what this looks like today is nothing short of miraculous. It looks really good and we are excited to open this to the community," Cherokee Recreation and Parks Director Jay Worley said. "I think this will be one of those parks that is a destination place to travel, whether that's for the open space, future athletic fields or future recreation center. This is going to be a park that makes a difference for this community. Outside of Patriots Park, this is the first public park that we have built in this portion of the county." The county broke ground on the 56-acre Woodworth Park in February. Located at 2700 Old Highway 92 near Acworth, it sits adjacent to the Vestavia Estates and Salem Woods subdivisions. The name combines the cities of Acworth and Woodstock together, given the park's close proximity to both communities. Additional amenities are
