Cherry Hills Golf Club
About this course
Cherry Hills Golf Club's Queen Course occupies rolling terrain in Miki, a city in Hyogo Prefecture northeast of Kobe. Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed the layout during Japan's golf development boom, bringing his characteristic strategic design philosophy to the site. The course takes advantage of natural elevation changes in the region, which lies in the transition zone between the coastal plains and the interior highlands of Honshu. Jones's design approach typically emphasizes multiple tee positions, generous landing areas with strategic bunkering, and greens that reward accurate approach play. The Queen Course likely reflects these principles, with routing that works with the property's topography rather than imposing dramatic earthmoving. The Hyogo region's climate allows for year-round play, though the course experiences distinct seasonal changes that affect playing conditions and the surrounding landscape. The club operates in the Japanese golf tradition, where attention to course conditioning and service standards tends to be exceptionally high. Cherry Hills Golf Club features multiple courses, with the Queen Course serving as one of the primary layouts. The facility caters to members and guests in a region with substantial golf infrastructure, as Hyogo Prefecture contains numerous courses serving the greater Kansai metropolitan area. The setting provides views of the surrounding hills and valleys characteristic of this part of Japan's interior.

For those arriving by private aviation, Itami Airport (ITM) in nearby Osaka offers a more intimate gateway, positioning you just 45 minutes from the club's gates.
