Nebraska Sandhills
Wild Horse Golf Club
Public Sandhills value golf
Wild Horse is one of the great value courses in America. It is not dressed up as a luxury resort. It is just excellent golf on the right kind of land at a price that makes famous resort rates look faintly ridiculous.

This is such an unique golf course. Natural feel with lots of wild flowers and nature sounds. I was impressed that the women’s bathrooms were very equipped and clean.
The food was great. The staff was super friendly. A small town feel.
The greens were fast like hard floors.

This is one of five very special golf clubs in the Cornhusker State that goes from I-80 to the South Dakota border through the Sandhills. As a Nebraska native, it's often that the real golf lovers of this country will speak about Wild Horse in the same sentence as other treasure
