Honestly I've never played it but everybody I've talked to who has played it had good things to say about it.

never been a fan in good years but it got absolutely hammered by winter kill, it's in terrible condition, almost unplayable. I much prefer to head down the road an hour to Wild Horse, tbh.
 
other than baseball, which most people hate, I love golf. Livin in AZ, there are so many courses. I’ve only golfed troon courses out here so far to date. Slapped my salami seeing a few classy beer cart ladies in there 80’s 🫣

I just got back from Sand Hills recently. I’d try to play there lol
 
Praire Club and Wildhorse are incredible. Bayside has pretty scenery but the course is pretty meh in my opinion.

I'd rather play Heritage Hills in McCook than Bayside.
 
Interesting listen on the Get A Grip Podcast with Shane Bacon.

Cliffs: interview with David McLay-Kidd who was the architect for Bandon Dunes. He is now in charge of designing Graybull near Maxwell, NE. He says that he believes Nebraska is the best place he has seen in the US for creating golf courses (and more specifically the Sandhills). Thinks there could come a day when there are 15-25 destination golf courses in the Sandhills that would have people making the trek from all over the country, similar to what they do for Bandon, just because of how perfect the landscape is for creating golf courses.

 
Im playing Whistling Straits (Straits and Irish) on Friday. Any one ever play there?

Personally expecting to get bent over a barrel and shown the 50 states by the straits course

My neighbor just played there a couple weeks ago. He said it was... difficult to say the least.
