No
matter how you slice
it, golf is great
in Nebraska. Do
you think of Nebraska
when you think of
golf? You should!
The number and quality
of courses, the
affordability, and
the national rankings
will have you thinking
of golf and Nebraska.
Golfweek magazine
annually selects
the 100 best modern
American courses.
Nebraska has three
courses ranked on
this prestigious
list, including
the number one course;
the Sand Hills Golf
Club near Mullen.
The Sand Hills is
private, but not
far away near Gothenburg
is the 44th-ranked
course, the Wild
Horse Golf Club.
In Lincoln a private
course, Firethorn
Golf Club, is ranked
at 81.
One attractive aspect
of Nebraska golf
is affordability.
Nationally, itÕs
not uncommon to
pay $100 or more
for 18 holes; anything
under $50 is a bargain.
In Nebraska, almost
all courses charge
between $10 and
$30 for 18 holes.
Very few charge
more than $50 and
nowhere will you
pay more than $80
for a round of golf.
In Nebraska Ôcountry
clubÕ does not mean
Ôkeep outÕ. Of the
76 country club
courses in the state,
58 are open to public
play.
