North Bend Golf Course

About this course
North Bend Golf Course is a nine-hole public facility located in North Bend, a small community in eastern Nebraska's Dodge County, roughly thirty miles west of Omaha. Designed by Marty Johnson, the course serves the local golfing population in this agricultural region along the Platte River valley. The layout reflects the relatively flat to gently rolling terrain characteristic of eastern Nebraska, where modest elevation changes and natural drainage patterns typically shape the routing. The course operates as a straightforward nine-hole design that can be played twice from different tee positions for a full eighteen-hole round. Like many rural Nebraska courses, North Bend likely features tree-lined fairways with mature hardwoods framing the holes, open approaches to greens, and a parkland character developed over decades of growth and maintenance. The property serves as both a recreational amenity for area residents and a gathering place for the community. North Bend represents the tradition of small-town golf courses throughout the Great Plains—unpretentious layouts that prioritize accessibility and playability over championship length or dramatic design features. The course provides a venue for local leagues, junior programs, and casual weekend rounds in a region where golf facilities are often separated by considerable distances. Its role in the community extends beyond the game itself, functioning as a social hub in a town of fewer than two thousand residents.

Getting there
Most travelers bound for North Bend Golf Course will touch down at Eppley Airfield in Omaha, a straightforward forty-minute drive to the west. The route follows Highway 30 through the broad, rolling farmland of the Platte River Valley, where the urban sprawl of Nebraska's largest city quickly gives way to open fields and quiet grain elevators. As you cross into Dodge County, the landscape flattens into classic Great Plains tableau - wide skies, distant tree lines, and the occasional red barn - before the road dips into the modest riverside town of North Bend, where the course awaits along the wooded bluffs above the Platte.
