Around Town – Nebraska Golf Courses
/What is Nebraska primarily known for? Well, we have the Henry Doorly Zoo which we talked about in my last blog and it’s one of the highest rated zoos in the world. We have the College Baseball World Series, which happens to have just begun and attracts thousands of spectators. Of course, we’re best known for our agriculture because, who hasn’t driven through miles and miles of corn fields when passing through Nebraska. We grow many things here and raising cattle is a big deal here as well. What you may not have know is that we’re well known for our golf courses and the national events they host so I’m here to tell you about them in today’s blog.
The Club at Indian Creek – Omaha, NE
This is Omaha’s premier 27-Hole Public Golf Course which thrills golfers with 37 acres of fairway, 80+ well-placed bunkers and 15 holes with the threat of water. It’s surrounded by an exclusive residential neighborhood of course with homes ranging from around $370K to $1.2M. And you’ll pay the premium if you want to live on the course. Each year Indian Creek hosts an amateur golf Invitational as well as the Pinnacle Bank Championship as part of the PGA Korn Ferry Tour which happens to be a world-famous tour. The course is actually made up of three nine-hole courses; Red Feather, Black Bird and Gray Hawk. The course has been honored by the Nebraska Section of the PGA as the Golf Facility of the Year. You can check out aerial footage of each individual hole for each of the courses here. Everyone I know who has tried this course out says it’s a must play.
