About this course

Jim Ager Memorial Golf Course is a municipal facility located in northeast Lincoln, Nebraska, serving as one of the city's public golf options. The course operates under the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department and provides accessible golf to residents and visitors in the state capital. Named in honor of a local figure, the course reflects Lincoln's commitment to maintaining affordable public golf infrastructure in a region where municipal courses play an important role in the game's accessibility. The layout occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the eastern Nebraska landscape, with mature tree plantings defining corridors and framing holes. As with many municipal courses in the Great Plains, the design emphasizes playability for a broad range of skill levels while incorporating enough length and strategic elements to challenge regular players. Water features and bunkers provide hazards on select holes, and the routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours where present. The course serves a diverse membership base typical of municipal golf, including league players, junior golfers, and casual recreational rounds. Lincoln's golf community benefits from several public facilities, and Jim Ager Memorial contributes to this network by offering straightforward golf in a maintained setting. The course operates seasonally, with conditions influenced by Nebraska's continental climate—hot summers and cold winters that limit the playing calendar to spring through fall.

Getting there

The journey to Jim Ager Memorial Golf Course begins at Lincoln Airport, a compact regional hub just ten minutes northeast of the city center, though most travelers route through Omaha's Eppley Airfield an hour north before making the straightforward drive south along Interstate 80. The approach into Lincoln unfolds across the broad, level plains of southeastern Nebraska, where the landscape gradually transitions from open farmland to the tree-lined streets of the state capital. Jim Ager Memorial sits tucked into the northeastern corner of the city along Salt Creek, a municipal course that serves as a quiet, accessible anchor in Lincoln's public golf network - reached via a brief turn off North 70th Street into a landscape shaped more by prairie pragmatism than resort pretense.
