Hotels in Cherry Hills Country Club
Cherry Hills Country Club is a private William Flynn design in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado, three-time host of the U.S. Open, just south of Denver's Tech Center hotel corridor.
Golfers heading to the Denver area gravitate toward Cherry Hills Country Club for good reason: this William Flynn design has hosted the U.S. Open three times, including Arnold Palmer's famous final-round 65 in 1960, and remains one of the most storied private courses in American golf. Visiting groups, tournament spectators, and members' guests base themselves in the Denver Tech Center corridor a few miles north, where a dense run of hotels sits along I-25 near Cherry Creek State Park. At roughly 5,300 feet of elevation, tee shots carry farther here than at sea level, a detail every visiting player notices on the first tee. The lodging below covers that corridor's practical range, from full-service hotels to budget-minded stays.

Local tips
- ✓Book Denver Tech Center hotels well ahead during any USGA or PGA event week at Cherry Hills, when the corridor fills with spectators.
- ✓Expect tee shots to fly noticeably farther than sea level; club down on approach shots until you've played a practice round at altitude.
- ✓Cherry Hills Country Club is private; a visit requires a member invitation or tournament credential, not a public tee time.
- ✓Rent a car for the trip; the Tech Center hotel corridor sits along I-25 with limited walkable transit to the club itself.
- ✓Pack layers for spring and fall visits, since Front Range mornings run cold even when afternoons warm into the 70s.
- ✓Denver International Airport runs 35-50 minutes from most Tech Center hotels depending on traffic; budget accordingly for early tee times.
Where to stay
FAQ
Can the public book a tee time at Cherry Hills Country Club?
No. Cherry Hills is a private club, and rounds are limited to members and their invited guests, or to credentialed players and staff during a hosted championship such as a U.S. Open or U.S. Amateur.
Where do visitors stay when traveling to Cherry Hills Country Club?
Most visitors base themselves in the Denver Tech Center hotel corridor a few miles north along I-25, which offers a dense cluster of hotels near Cherry Creek State Park within a short drive of the club.
How many U.S. Opens has Cherry Hills Country Club hosted?
Three: 1938, 1960, and 1978. The 1960 edition is by far the most famous, remembered for Arnold Palmer's closing round of 65 that turned a seven-shot final-round deficit into a championship on the club's William Flynn-designed layout.
Does Denver's altitude really affect golf shots near Cherry Hills?
Yes. At roughly 5,300 feet, the thinner air lets a ball carry noticeably farther than at sea level, a factor golfers visiting the region should account for on approach shots and club selection during their first round or two.
Is a rental car necessary for a Cherry Hills-area golf trip?
Yes for most visitors. The Tech Center hotel corridor sits along I-25 with limited walkable transit to the club and to Denver International Airport, so a car covers both legs of the trip comfortably across a multi-day stay.
What else is near the Cherry Hills Country Club area for golfers?
Cherry Creek State Park sits a short drive from most Tech Center hotels for a non-golf morning, and the broader Denver metro area offers additional public and resort courses beyond the private Cherry Hills grounds.
