Deep within the beautiful swaying fields of Nebraska lies a golf course of legend. Landmand Golf Club is a modern masterpiece in the heartland, tucked into the dramatic Loess Hills near Homer, Nebraska (about 90 miles north of Omaha, close to Sioux City, Iowa). Designed by King-Collins Golf Course Design (Rob Collins and Tad King, of Sweetens Cove fame), this public-access gem sits on vast, tumbling farmland with raw, natural contours, massive elevation shifts, horizon-to-horizon views, and that wide-open, links-inspired feel in America’s breadbasket. It’s bucket-list territory for adventurous golfers seeking epic scale, strategic fun, and pure escapism.

Quick Facts

  • One championship 18-hole course First full 18 by King-Collins; huge property (580+ acres) with raw loess formations, eroded valleys, and prairie-like openness
  • Adventure-style golf: Wide fairways, bold greens, risk-reward holes, massive contours, and “farmer’s golf” vibe, playable yet wildly engaging
  • Seasonal play: Typically mid-May to early October; peak summer/fall for best conditions and long days
  • High demand: Tee times sell out fast (2026 sold in under an hour); ranked top public in Nebraska, \#18 on Golfweek’s Best You Can Play (2025), Best New Public 2022 (Golf Digest)
  • Public focus: Welcoming, fun atmosphere with on-site cabins for stay-and-play

“Babe, we’re taking our vacation in Nebraska this year.” No offense to Nebraska but that might be a hard sell. But if you just include that Nebraska offers a unique, underrated mix of pioneering history, diverse natural landscapes, and top-tier attractions like golf you should be good.

Perfect For…

  • Guys’ Trips: High-energy rounds with jaw-dropping views, post-golf hangs at The Farmer’s Table, friendly bets on creative holes, and that remote, no-distractions reset
  • Families: Spacious cabins for groups, forgiving wide fairways for varying skill levels; non-golfers enjoy the scenic drives, nearby towns, or heartland vibes
