Landmand Golf Club

Landmand is easily the boldest golf course I've ever played. Every hole is massive in scale with bold design features that create a roller coaster round of golf!

The first thing you'll notice as you drive up to Landmand is everything, except the clubhouse, is turned up to 11. From the oversized flag at the top of the hill that you can see from miles away, to the massive, putting green that is shared with the 18th green, it's golf in overdrive!

The golf course itself is very playable, yet still challenging. The fairways and greens are fairly easy to hit in regulation, but that doesn't mean pars and birdies are plentiful. The sheer size of the greens, along with the undulation, brings 3 and 4 putts into play. You have to be in control of your ball to get in the right spots to score.

Landmand is already really good, and it'll be outstanding in a year or two as it grows in. With the course being so new there are still bare spots and thin spots. Additionally the greens have some maturing to do.

Landmand only elevates the already fantastic Nebraska golf scene. Must play if you can make the trek to Homer NE.

A windy day was still astounding at this top-of-the-world all-time Top Ten layout. There is a reason the flag sticks are topped with Windsocks! Beautiful. Challenging. Like opening a present at each tee box. Tip: Buy the course guide - many holes play with different strategies than meet the eye of the range finder. Landmand is stunning. And a Blast!

I was fortunate to take part in Landmand's opening weekend of play. It puts the newest pin in the American map for adventurous traveling golfers to pursue as they explore the country in search of interesting courses.

Calling Landmand merely "interesting" undersells it to a huge degree. It enjoys a spectacular hilltop property that grants dozen-mile views of the surrounding countryside, and draws golfers' attention back to its features relentlessly, thanks to one the wildest sets of greens in world golf. Slopes and contours the likes of which most golfers have never seen - in addition to capricious winds, firm turf and wide playing corridors - mean tremendous variety in how each hole might play one day to the next. Luckily, there are onsite cabins for golfers who want to play multiple rounds across multiple days.

In keeping with the golf course, the overall feel at Landmand is relaxed and fun. Embrace the golf course's eccentricity and you will have a wonderful time, as I did.
