Lincoln - Omaha Golf Guide

Although the cities of Lincoln, Nebraska and Omaha, Nebraska are two distinct metropolises with their own attractions, they are merely 50 miles apart. So from a traveler's perspective the cities may as well be one location, since no matter which of the two cities tourists are staying in, they can visit the other by only driving an hour.

So travelers can explore Lincoln's Sunken Gardens, the Nebraska State Capitol, Pioneer Park and Nature Center and the Governor's Mansion in the morning, then hit Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo, the Durham Museum, the Old Market and the Gene Leahy Mall in the afternoon.

Of course, since the two cities and the stretch between them are home to nearly 40 golf courses, golfers can be excused if they see nothing more of the cities than the hotels they are staying in, because 36-hole summer days are not only possible but are also practically mandated.

Highlands Golf Club in Lincoln delivers a challenging links-style round at rates that appear to be typos: $18 to walk 18 during the week. Golfers who would like to see the range of Highlands Golf Club designer Jeff Brauer should play his two nine-hole tracks in Omaha known collectively as Eagle Run Golf Course. The Links is a par-32 executive course that taunts with its risk-reward options, and The Meadows, a par-3 course, is perfect for beginners and for players looking to shore up their short games.

Ashland is home to two very different but very worthy courses, Quarry Oaks Golf Club and Iron Horse Golf Club. The former is a burly track that features beautiful par-3s, and the latter is a fun, driver-friendly course that features one of the great holes in the region, the 10th.
