Cherry Hills Country Club, Golf course in Englewood, Colorado, US

Cherry Hills Country Club is a private club in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado, south of Denver. William Flynn designed its par-72 championship course, which measures 7,348 yards from the member back tees and plays shorter because the average elevation exceeds 5,300 feet. The grounds also hold a 9-hole par-three course called the Rip Arnold Course, eight tennis courts and a lap pool. At the entrance, a tan brick wall carries the club's name between pillars topped with white globe lights.

Cherry Hills Country Club was founded in 1922 on a course designed by William Flynn. It hosted the U.S. Open in 1938, 1960 and 1978; in 1960 Arnold Palmer drove the first green in the final round and won his first major, two strokes ahead of amateur Jack Nicklaus. The club also held the PGA Championship in 1941 and 1985, and the U.S. Women's Open in 2005.

The club's colors are cherry red and white. The nine-hole par-three course is named for Rip Arnold, head professional from 1939 to 1962, and a pro-member invitational held each September honors Warren Smith, head pro from 1963 to 1991 and PGA of America Golf Professional of the Year in 1973. A bas-relief of Smith stands near the tenth tee.

The grounds are open only to members and their guests, with facilities including tennis courts and swimming pools alongside the golf course. The club organizes regular social events and dining occasions throughout the year.

The first hole is one of the few opening par-4s that can be driven directly with a long tee shot. Flynn designed the course intentionally so most greens can be approached from the front rather than over obstacles.
