You don't have to be a golfer to know Nebraska has become one of America's most talked-about golf destinations.

From the rolling dunes of the Nebraska Sandhills to the dramatic views of the Snake River Canyon, Nebraska is home to some of the best golf courses in the country. While a few may be difficult for the average golfer to access, others are public destinations worth building an entire road trip around.

Whether you're chasing a dream round at an exclusive club or planning a road trip around Nebraska's public courses, you'll find landscapes and golf experiences unlike anywhere else in America.

Sand Hills Golf Club - Mullen

Built directly into the natural dunes of the Nebraska Sandhills, Sand Hills Golf Club is the course that helped put Nebraska on the golf world's radar. Rather than reshaping the landscape, the course was designed to work with it, creating a golf experience that feels like it has always belonged here.

Consistently ranked among the best golf courses in America, Sand Hills is private and notoriously difficult to access. For many golfers, simply receiving an invitation is a bucket-list moment.

Dismal River Club - Mullen

Also located in the heart of the Sandhills, Dismal River Club offers two acclaimed courses surrounded by some of Nebraska's most spectacular scenery. Together, they've helped make Mullen one of the most respected golf destinations in America.

Like Sand Hills, this is more of a dream trip than a spontaneous weekend round for most golfers.

GrayBull Club - Maxwell

One of Nebraska's newest golf destinations is already attracting national attention.

Located near Maxwell, GrayBull combines championship golf with the state's rugged beauty. Unlike some of the areas more exclusive clubs, golfers can plan a trip and experience the course as part of a golf getaway.

It's quickly becoming a must-play stop for golfers exploring Nebraska.

The Prairie Club - Valentine

Perched above the stunning Snake River Canyon, The Prairie Club delivers some of the most spectacular views in Nebraska.

The destination features multiple courses, comfortable lodging and a setting that feels worlds away from everyday life. Even non-golfers can appreciate the scenery surrounding this one-of-a-kind Sandhills retreat.

For many visitors, it's the perfect blend of golf vacation and Nebraska adventure.

Known for its fun, creative design and unforgettable playing experience, Landmand has quickly become a destination for golfers from across the country. The public-access course has earned national recognition and is helping introduce a new generation of golfers to Nebraska. What sets Landmand apart are its massive greens, bold contours and playful design that encourage creativity rather than perfection.

While access can be limited, ArborLinks remains one of Nebraska's most respected golf experiences.
