LAKESIDE COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Elwood, NE, USA
Designed by Marty Johnson


Lakeside Country Club sits in Elwood, a small community in south-central Nebraska near the Kansas border along the Republican River valley. The course was designed by Marty Johnson, a regional architect who has worked primarily on projects throughout Nebraska and the central Great Plains. The club serves a rural membership base in Gosper County, where golf facilities provide important recreational and social anchors for communities spread across the agricultural landscape.
The routing likely takes advantage of the relatively flat to gently rolling terrain characteristic of this part of the Republican River basin, where cottonwoods and other riparian vegetation provide natural definition along water features or drainage corridors. Courses in this region typically incorporate modest elevation changes and strategic bunkering to create interest on land that lacks dramatic topography. The design would reflect practical considerations for maintenance and playability suited to a small-town club environment.
Lakeside serves as a gathering place for local golfers and families, offering a nine or eighteen-hole layout that accommodates members and visitors from surrounding communities. The club likely features traditional amenities including a clubhouse with dining facilities where members gather for meals and social events. Like many rural Nebraska clubs, it plays a role beyond golf, hosting community functions and providing a venue for local traditions throughout the year.
