ABOUT GLENMOOR COUNTRY CLUB
CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, CO | Glenmoor Country Club is a private country club in Cherry Hills Village, a southern suburb of Denver. Founded in 1984, Glenmoor members enjoy a championship 18-hole Pete Dye golf course, fine dining in a 43,000 square foot clubhouse, tennis, fitness, swimming , and event facilities.

The golf course is a classic Pete Dye design situated on 112 acres of land. It incorporates his philosophy of “target golf” based on the Scottish golf courses which are the home of golf. The course features strategically positioned golf tees, undulating fairways and greens that contain different and challenging elevations alongside his hallmark railroad ties.

The CAGGY signifies unparalleled excellence in the Colorado golf scene. Glenmoor received awards for: #1 "Best Food" - in Private Clubs in Colorado, #1 "Best for Families in Private Clubs in Colorado, and PGA Golf Instructor, Steve Beach was awarded #1 Overall (private and public courses) Best Instructor for Juniors. To further solidify its status as a Club with superior services, the Club achieved Distinguished Emerald Club Status by Board Room Magazine in 2015 which it continues to maintain to this present day.
