About this course

Indian Creek Golf Club, nestled in the rolling hills of Elkhorn, Nebraska, is a testament to Midwestern golf's enduring appeal. It’s a course where the spirit of friendly competition thrives as much as the meticulously maintained fairways. This modern course unfurls across a landscape subtly sculpted to challenge players of all abilities. The layout, while not particularly long, demands strategic thinking, forcing golfers to consider angles and club selection more than brute power. Wide fairways provide a forgiving canvas off the tee, but well-placed bunkers and subtle undulations around the greens punish errant approaches. Designed with an eye toward playability, the course has a friendly local atmosphere, a strong testament to the welcoming spirit of Nebraska golf. Post-round, the clubhouse buzzes with friendly banter, often centered around the club’s famed prime rib, a culinary tradition almost as revered as the game itself.

Getting there

The journey to Indian Creek Golf Club begins at Eppley Airfield in Omaha, a compact commercial hub just twenty minutes northeast of the property. From there, the route traces west along the Dodge Expressway before peeling north into Elkhorn, where the sprawl of suburban Omaha gives way to rolling farmland and the quiet edge of the Great Plains. The final turn onto the club grounds feels like a crossing into private sanctuary - a discreet enclave where prairie grasses meet manicured fairways, and the hum of the city fades into Nebraska's wide, open sky.
