Assistant Golf Professional

Founded in 1922 on 272 acres south of Denver, Colorado, Cherry Hills Country Club is one of America’s most historic and distinguished golf clubs. Designed by renowned golf course architect William Flynn, the course has earned a prominent place in the history of the game.

In 1938, Cherry Hills hosted the U.S. Open, marking the first time the championship was played west of the Mississippi River. Since then, the Club has hosted 14 national championships, most recently the 2023 U.S. Amateur. Cherry Hills is also the site of one of the most iconic moments in golf history. In the final round of the 1960 U.S. Open, Arnold Palmer drove the first green and made birdie on his way to a memorable round of 65 and victory. Cherry Hills is also the only golf course outside Augusta National where both Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus won a major championship.
