The Approach Shot

Nebraska Sandhills

Prairie Club Pines

Canyon/pines resort golf

Pines is the contrast round at Prairie Club. It has more canyon, river, and tree movement, which makes it useful after the vast openness of Dunes. Some architecture purists prefer Dunes; many groups enjoy Pines more.
