Play it, you should, but the greens feel Mickey Mouse-ish. The elevation changes, views, and sprawling fairways are fun and should be enjoyed. It's a great time, but I personally feel it is a bit overrated.

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.

Wild horse oozes strategy at every turn. The variety of wild horse is staggering drivable par 4s, 3 shot par 4s, and everything in between. Every club in the bag will be tested in every shot demands your full attention.

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?)

Quarry Oaks is an excellent public golf option in the Omaha region. The routing utilizes the land expertly and combines scenery with strategic play. The course is impeccably maintained and the clubhouse is ELITE for a public track.

Most challenging of the three 9-hole routings. Accuracy off the tee is a must if you want to score well, especially when the rough is grown out for Korn Ferry Tournament conditions.

The Gray Hawk routing serves as the back 9 for the Korn Ferry tour tournament stop. Most holes are scoreable if you hit the fairway. Strong winds from the south can complicate the finishing stretch of 7-8-9.

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.

The Red Feather nine is the original front 9 hole layout for Indian Creek. Layout is by far the easiest of the 3 nines, but includes a long par 3 that plays into the wind on a typical summer day. Both Par 5’s exhibit awkward routings that rarely allow players to go for it in 2.

Love this track, back 9 is extremely difficult the first time. Tremendous undulations which I was not expecting in Nebraska.

One of the best short courses I’ve played. Visually stunning, good mix of distances, bowl pin placements and a great view of the Snake River. Definitely a must play with 3 clubs and a cocktail. Only minor flaw - needs better directions on hole sequence.

Johnny dogleg has among the best muni greens in town and you can hit a bunch of different clubs off the tee if you want to play the bendy holes right. Plenty of elevation as well keeps approaches interesting.

Great layout and routed through a creek. Needs one longer par 3 and one shorter par 4. Awesome, fun greens and a variety of doglegs.
