I don’t understand how a course can be open 4 days. A week and the days they are open they closed at noon it’s a joke

Cherry Hills is TRYING!!

The greens are in much better condition than they’ve been in the almost 6 years I’ve golfed there. The fairways on the first 9 are also better than before but the back 9 still need lots of help. The carts are very beat up and staff insist “you’re not doing it right” when you try to return a cart that won’t set its break unless you step on the pedal “just right”. I only gave 3 on golf pace because some people just aren’t considerate to the fact they are holding everyone else up with their need to stop play to discuss the hole they just finished instead of moving on. Next time we’ll call the Marshall and let them move the golfers along.

Worst course EVER

If i could rate ZERO stars I would. I chose to play here knowing it was a subpar course because I was planning on taking my son who is new to the game. Instead my wife and I ended up going as plans changed. The Marshall was clearly prejudice and extremely condescending and patronizing. We stopped playing at hole six and I respectfully shared my opinion of this “crappy” course and staff. This place should charge no more than $10 a round. Its like playing on a rock garden. I will NEVER in my life ever return to this establishment. It should be closed down and converted to a funeral or something. Also we were given cart 34. Im not sure if it is the only cart that dosent brake properly and just keeps rolling when you get out to hit a shot but i sure hope so(more than likely not). The seats were all torn and ripped , just overrall, a disgusting place. This is just one image of my drive down a fairway on a hot summer day, this was probably the best looking fairway that day. Do not consider this course.

You Get What You Pay For

Random puddles, over watered greens, gopher holes galore! They were weed whacking the traps, then turning over the dirt within them; so they were dirt traps that weren't raked. I had a couple of drives in the middle of the fairway that stuck their landing. Found a few extra golf balls hidden in some gopher holes. My parking break on my golf cart wasn't working. BUT...
the staff was very friendly, the course was mainly just doubles, so pace of play was good. It's a cheap course for a reason.

Gophers

If you can hit from the tee box to the green in one shot every time you might give it a better rating. They had a cart shortage. Came across one cart on the course. Dead battery. Tee boxes are lumpy. Dirt and gopher ville right off the fairway on every hole. Grass was ok on fairways but still a lot of gopher holes. Greens were nice, though a bit soft and slow. Sand was hard and unkempt if sand at all. Couple of water issues as in leaky pipes or drainage causing a few puddles. One bunker, one spot in between the tee box and cart path, and one more puddle on the edge of a green. All that being said they have the cheapest game in town if you can grab a hot deal on the Golf Now app. I paid regular price a while back and would not do that again. For a few bucks more than their regular prices and a few hours later in the day you can play some pretty nice courses. Been playing there off and on for the last twenty years and have seen it in great shape before. Hope they get it back together but right now it’s making me miss the North Course.

Per usual my cart died on the back 9. Every time i give this course a chance it just falls short. Only place where you can hit a ball in the middle of the fairway and lose it due to the numerous golfer holes

Getting Better-Almost There!

We hadn’t played Cherry Hills since before the pandemic because the course was in HORRIBLE condition! Staff deteriorated (friendliness and professionalism).
So we quit going.
We actually missed Cherry Hills and decided to try again. The staff is still unfriendly. The carts are falling apart (our brakes either worked or didn’t). We weren’t allowed to exchange it and were told we were “doing it wrong”.

Good news is: the Greens are fabulous!!!! The fairway greens on the first 9 were so much better than we recall but the back 9 fairways were still a mess with squirrels and gophers. It’s not safe to walk and riding is equally dangerous and rough.

We’ll take another break and check back later. As is, the rates are too high for a course that has such potential. Glad I had a discount!!!!

Good course for the price

Just tried out this course via the daily deals. It’s not Torrey Pines, but the course is good for a $20 round. Greens and fairways were fine for the most part. The rough was….well, rough. If you’re looking to have an easy going round in a low pressure course, this place is just fine.

Ok for money

Most greens in good shape. Some turf disease on several. Fairways ok, but a few are showing very active rodent activity. Bunkers are the worst, if you even want to call them bunkers. Great fir a day out with friends who are not particular. Otherwise I recommend pick another courwse.

Recomminding I checked "No" but would explain why.

It is what it is

The only thing that was nice about this course were the greens. The rest of the course is pretty beat up and not in the best of shape. I heard they have new owners, so hopefully they can turn things around here. If you love your clubs I wouldn’t recommend playing here, especially if you miss a “fairway”. Most likely will not return, but good luck

First Time and Probably Not My Last

I recently had the opportunity to play at Cherry Hills, and I must say, it was quite an enjoyable experience. From the very beginning, the starter/attendant set a positive tone for the round. Their friendly and welcoming demeanor made me feel right at home.

As I made my way to the range, I noticed that the conditions were a bit muddy. However, despite the less than ideal state of the range, it was pleasantly empty, allowing me to practice without feeling crowded. The range balls provided were of excellent quality, and to my delight, I even stumbled upon a few Pro V1s, which was a nice bonus.

Once it was time to tee off, the punctuality of the staff impressed me. We started right on schedule, ensuring a smooth transition from the practice area to the course. The cart assigned to me was a bit old, but it was well-maintained and in great condition. It provided a comfortable and reliable mode of transportation throughout the round.

One aspect that stood out to me about Cherry Hills was the course layout. It offered a great balance of fun and challenge. However, it's worth noting that the fairways were quite narrow, which added an extra level of difficulty to the game. Additionally, the course was bordered by houses, which added a unique dynamic to the overall experience.

Despite the narrow fairways and proximity to residential areas, I had an absolute blast playing at Cherry Hills. Some of the holes were truly unique, offering interesting and strategic shot selections. The combination of the challenging layout and the enjoyable gameplay made for a memorable round.

Overall, my first experience at Cherry Hills left a positive impression. The friendly staff, quality range balls, and timely start contributed to a smooth beginning. Although the narrow fairways and nearby houses presented some challenges, they also added a distinct character to the course. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Cherry Hills and would gladly return for another round of golf.

Much improved course.

I recently played Cherry Hills golf course and it was much better than I expected. The fairways were mowed short and flattened out. The rough was not as long as previously. I only lost 4 balls after 18 holes. The greens were in great shape, except one.
Worth the low price found on Golf Now. :o)
