The Approach Shot

Nebraska Sandhills

Prairie Club Dunes

Big Sandhills resort golf

Dunes is the Prairie Club course that most clearly says, "yes, you came to the Sandhills." It is big, exposed, sandy, and better when the wind is part of the match instead of an excuse. The tips stretch past 8,000 yards; most normal humans should treat that as an architectural fact, not a tee recommendation.
