Nebraska Golf

Eastern Nebraska is home to many fine, green golf courses, both private and public. Many private clubs will open their doors to visitors for a reasonable fee. Although Nebraska may not be widely known as a spot for premier golfing, many courses here are challenging and fun, and many are located in lovely settings. Along the Missouri River, in particular, the views can stretch out for miles.

Golfing in Nebraska is worthwhile for one particular reason, however. There are eighteen courses with sand greens. Young golfers may not know what these are, but more seasoned golfers may remember a time when irrigation was not widespread, and sand greens were the norm, especially along the windswept plains. Hone your skills by playing courses such as Callaway Golf Club, along the South Loup River, or the Riverside Golf Course in Central City, north of Grand Island.

Many Nebraska Bed and Breakfasts or Unique Lodgings are located close to golf courses, and it is not uncommon for locations to offer golfing specials. Nebraska lodges may cover your entrance fee into a club, or lunch at a nearby course. Avid golfers should always peruse the specials pages before making travel plans, as they may find motivation to try a new course there.
