Cherry Creek Country Club (previously known as Los Verdes Country Club) is an 18-hole, private golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus along with John Ruble. Opened in 2002, the greens are large and there is a lot of movement on the course. Water hazards also come into play on some holes. The landscape is lush with forestry providing a serene atmosphere. The course is 7,450 yards at its longest tees with a par of 72. Nicklaus intended for Cherry Creek to be quite difficult, therefore the back tees might be too challenging for those who are not low handicappers or advanced golfers.
