Landmand Golf Club

America's boldest and most sought-after public course sits atop windswept loess bluffs with greens bigger than half a football field.

About the Course

Carved from 588 acres of dramatic loess hills in northeast Nebraska, Landmand Golf Club has become the most difficult tee time to secure in America since opening in 2022. Designed by King-Collins architects Rob Collins and Tad King, this public course celebrates its Danish farming heritage (Landmand means farmer) and the Andersen family's 80+ years of stewardship on this land. The 7,200-yard, par-73 layout is anything but subtle—fairways stretch 80-100 yards wide, greens average 14,000 square feet (more than double the typical American green), and three greens exceed 25,000 square feet. The course doesn't just look bigger; it plays with a scale that defies conventional golf logic. Standing on the 12th tee, you can see eight to ten other holes sprawling across the property. Winds consistently exceed 25 mph, rewarding controlled ball-striking and strategic approach play over raw power. The undulating greens possess internal contours and sections that would confound most architects, yet they prove remarkably fair when played from the correct angle. This is a course that demands respect, rewards preparation, and delivers an experience unlike anywhere else on the continent. Tee times for the entire season sell out within hours of release, with groups booking the on-site cabins to maximize their visit.

Why It's Great for Groups
  • Greens are architectural masterpieces averaging 14,000 sq ft with contours that provide endless playability and learning opportunities across multiple rounds
  • Tee times are impossibly scarce, creating legendary status and making a round here a genuine bucket-list achievement that golfers earn, not just book
  • On-site cabins make 36-hole days feasible, allowing groups to experience the course's complete range of challenges and wind variations
  • The dramatic loess hills setting provides panoramic views spanning 20+ miles, creating a sense of scale and isolation rarely found in modern public courses
  • Perfect group trip destination with a laid-back, fun atmosphere where the starter plays walk-up songs and the hospitality team distributes free beers on-course

Best Time to Visit
May through September. The course opens in mid-May and closes in late September, operating in peak season roughly June through August. Play early morning or late afternoon during golden hour to avoid intense midday summer heat and the relentless wind. There is zero shade on the course, so hydration is critical. Wind is a constant factor year-round, but cooler months (May, September) provide easier conditions for learning the course's infinite variety.
