    One of the most significant and inspirational courses in American golf and it meets the moment. The scale and flow is spectacular with great balance and huge fun. It’s agronomically perfect and only drawback is the necessity for carts and they are gas carts to boot.

    Omaha CC is a grand Golf Course. A ton of up and down rolling hills with bunker protected greens. You gotta hit fairways cause the rough is lush and difficult. If you’re ball striking is off, you’re in for a tough day. Really good routing and property.

    100 yard wide fairways peppered with bunkers in the sand hills of Nebraska makes you feel in the great wide open. Nothing to block the wind and we had 30mph consistent wind that day.

    Wild horse oozes strategy at every turn. The variety of wild horse is staggering drivable par 4s, 3 shot par 4s, and everything in between. Every club in the bag will be tested in every shot demands your full attention.

How we rank

This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Nebraska. Rankings refresh about hourly.
