TWO NEBRASKA GOLF COURSES HAVE HIGH NATIONAL RANKINGS

LINCOLN- Nebraska has recently added two new golf courses, both of which have high marks nationally. Which course is better changes depending on different ratings systems and critics. Landmand, the public-access course north of Homer that opened last August, debuts at No. 26 on GolfWeek’s list of the best 200 courses built since 1960. It enters at No. 14 on the magazine’s best courses open to the public. It’s also Golf Digest’s Best New Public Course for 2022.

CapRock Ranch, the private-club course southwest of Valentine, was Golf Digest’s Best New Course for 2021 and ranks No. 2 in the state behind Sand Hills Golf Club on best-in-state rankings by Golf Digest and Golf Magazine. Landmand is behind CapRock Ranch in the Golf Digest and Golf Magazine lists — but is on the GolfWeek Modern list and CapRock Ranch is not.

On Golf Digest’s America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses list, Nebraska has two courses, Sand Hills and Dismal River Red. Sand Hills rose from 10th to eighth from the previous compilation. Dismal River Red dropped from 154th to 185th. Ballyneal was 36th. Landmand has been fully booked for the season for public play since April. It will begin taking tee times for 2024 this winter.
