Nebraska Sandhills
Sand Hills Golf Club
Private Sandhills architecture
Sand Hills is the modern American architecture holy text. It is private, remote, and not something most groups can simply book. But if you have access, it is the reason the Nebraska conversation starts at a different altitude.

My son and I had the pleasure of playing Sand Hills Golf Club in June 2022. It was an absolutely amazing experience! The course is visually stunning and a masterpiece. I was awestruck how each hole was designed using the rolling hills and undulations of the natural landscape.

Having just spent 4 days at the Sand Hills Golf Club I can say that it felt like I had died and Sand Hills is heaven! Everything about that place is first rate. From the employees to the members and guests we met while there. I can't imagine, wanting to go on a golf trip anywhere
