Iron Horse Golf Club
I always enjoy this semi-private course a couple times a year set in Ashland Nebraska. The course was built around a rock quarry that provides a scenic backdrop for many of the holes. Your first impression from the clubhouse view is great. If you haven’t played there, see pictures I took in our mid-October round. […]
Wild Horse
Wild Horse Golf Club This one of Nebraska’s gems. The course just outside Gothenberg is 3 and half hours west of Omaha but worth a trip at least once a year. To give a little history, the design was modeled after Sandhills, it’s exclusive neighbor about 100 miles north. However, Wild Horse is a privately […]
Oakland Country Club
Oakland Country Club I wanted to write and post about this course fresh after the state Senior Match play which Oakland hosted. I was a member here for 4 years and love to play the course. I would still belong if it wasn’t for the 55 minute drive from northwest Omaha. This course 25 miles […]
Fremont Country Club
Fremont Country Club We recently played our Nebraska Senior Golf Association two-day state tournament at Fremont, so a good time to discuss. A few weeks ago they also hosted the state amateur for all the young studs. I play this private club 2-3 times a year and have a love-hate relationship with the course. If […]
Lochland
Lochland Country Club, Hastings, Nebraska This is one of my top 10 in Nebraska and if you haven’t played it you are missing a good golf course. It doesn’t have the glitz of all the newer links and prairie courses in the state, but has plenty of good golf holes, a well- run pro shop, […]
Wayne Country Club
I recently had my first opportunity to play Wayne CC in the State Senior Am. I should have come up for a practice round, but the two hour drive from home kept me away. I will admit this course was never on my target list, but it is a legitimate18 hole challenge for all golfers. The course […]
Des Moines Golf and Country Club
Des Moines Golf and Country Club This club, featuring two great courses is an absolute gem and one of the best in the Midwest. Located in West Des Moines, approximately a 2 hour drive from central Omaha. In 1999 they hosted the U.S. Senior Open and in 2017, the Solheim Cup. For these international events […]
The hardest par 5 in Nebraska?
Yes, that is a picture of me negotiating my tee shot on 11 at Bayside at Lake MacConaughy. This hole easily gets my vote for the most difficult par 5 in the state. This is a long way from eastern Nebraska and you have to pass a lot of good par 5s to get there. […]
Landmand
Fall of 2023 and updated July of 2024 Why choose this course for my first post? I just played it a few weeks ago and it exceeded my expectations. Most of you know this course just opened in August of 2022 and most of us have not had a chance to play it. Tee times […]
River Wilds
I usually play this course about once a year. I remember when I was a kid and it was Blair Country Club and built around a small air strip. I had an uncle that belonged there and I also played a high school meet there in 1974. I am guessing about 25 years ago, they […]
