Back
The past 25 years Nebraska has grown from a state with a lot of cornfields to a place with more and more public golf courses that attract a growing number of visiting golfers. The rolling hills of the Sand Hills region of the state have become legendary for golf.
GolfPass releases a Top 15 Public Golf Courses in Nebraska every March thanks to YOU. We create our annual Golfers' Choice lists by curating the reviews submitted by everyday golfers. We use GolfPass' Ratings Index logic that weights newer reviews and combine it with a course's subcategory averages.
Each course needed at least one review and at least some public access to qualify. Wild Horse Golf Club and the Pines Course at The Prairie Club missed the cut with only one-four star review apiece.
We make our Golfers' Choice best-of lists user friendly. Simply click on the photo of each course to learn more about the facility or to book a tee time (in most cases).

Best Public Golf Courses in Nebraska
-
The Prairie Club - Dunes Course
![The Prairie Club - Dunes: #4]()
Valentine, NebraskaSemi-Private/ResortGreen fee: $354
What they're saying: "Who knew (Tom) Lehman was such a deft golf course architect? It would be hard to whiff in the Nebraska Sandhills, but his work at the Dunes course is beyond impressive. His gifts are the hole reveals, particularly at Nos. 5, 8 and 11. What you see from the fairway on approach is nothing like you imagined once reaching the green. The fifth and eighth (among the best holes I’ve seen anywhere) are Dell holes. My tee shot at the driveable 11th will forever be etched upon my memory." - BrandonWebb -
Landmand Golf Club
![Landmand GC]()
Green fee: $150
What they're saying: "Landmand fits the Nebraska landscape. It is expansive, extreme and bold. One corn-fed hole after another, building to a finishing stretch that has to be experienced to believe. ... Landmand is set to become legendary alongside Nebraska’s greatest Sandhills hits." - BrandonWebb -
Tatanka Golf Club at Featherhill
Green fee: $85-$95
What they're saying: "What a beautiful golf course. Some of the prettiest landscape in Nebraska. One of my favorite places I have played. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in great shape. Will definitely play it again." - GolfPass Reviewer -
Hillside
Green fee: $37
What they're saying: "First time playing here and found an unexpected gem. Course had well kept greens, tees, and fairways. Carts are state-of-the-art. Front nine traverses a ravine and both nines have many elevation changes. Really beautiful course." - Kristin6715777 -
Heritage Hills Golf Course
Green fee: $70-$80
What they're saying: "This course provides an amazing golfing experience in western Nebraska. It is challenging for all levels of players with terrain variations that provide unique vistas and playing opportunities. Layed out in a naturally beautiful area on the west side of the community, the course itself with practice areas and clubhouse are all in top condition. The value provided at this facility is hard to beat anywhere. This is without a doubt a First Class Venue among public or private golf courses." - Budstorm -
