    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.

    A ton of big hills and big greens. You can see for miles on end at the peaks. The course was too repeatable for me. I thought too many holes mimicked each other and left me feeling like they could have done more with its land. There were some fun holes and the greens ran nicely.

    Well designed course that mostly plays through the prairie like its sibling but winds through a pine forest for maybe 5 holes. 18 is a beastly finishing par 5 with trouble everywhere. The twin drivable par 4s on the front are excellent especially the one (8?)

    some of the wildest I’ve ever played with holes both on and around massive rugged sand dunes. My common complaint with many of Jacks courses are lack of variety or options and the White course provides both of these in spades.

How we rank

This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then 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.
