Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get a tee time at Cherry Hills Country Club, given its private nature?

Cherry Hills is a truly exclusive experience, so you'll need a member invitation to play. We recommend leveraging your network; it's the only realistic way to get on this historic track. Once you're in, savor every moment - it's a rare privilege.

When is the best time of year to play Cherry Hills Country Club for optimal conditions?

For the best playing conditions, we strongly recommend visiting Cherry Hills from late spring through early fall, typically May to September. The Colorado weather is usually fantastic then, offering warm days and firm, fast greens that truly test your game. Avoid early spring or late fall when unexpected snow or colder temperatures can impact your round.

What makes Cherry Hills' course design particularly challenging or memorable?

William Flynn's design at Cherry Hills is a masterclass in strategic golf, demanding precision over brute force. You'll find the par-5 18th, where Arnold Palmer famously drove the green in the 1960 U.S. Open, to be an exhilarating finish, but don't overlook the tricky par-3s and the demanding approaches over water. The course truly rewards smart play and thoughtful shot-making.

It's a place steeped in tradition, so expect a refined atmosphere where golf is revered.

As a guest, what kind of costs should I anticipate for a round at Cherry Hills Country Club?

While green fees are typically covered by your host, you should budget for caddie fees and a generous tip - it's a walking course and a caddie is essential for navigating its nuances. Expect to pay for any post-round drinks or meals, which, while excellent, reflect the club's high standards. It's an investment in a truly memorable golf experience.
