North Bend Golf Course

North Bend, NE, United States

North Bend Golf Course is an 18-hole public course located on the west end of North Bend, Nebraska, just south of Highway 30. The course opened nine holes in 1995, with an additional nine holes completed in 2001. It features a flat layout on developing terrain with well-established grass throughout. The front nine measures 2,760 yards from the blue tees and 2,566 from the white tees, while the back nine is longer at 3,103 yards from the blue tees and 2,928 from the white. Though classified as a short course, North Bend presents significant challenges despite its modest yardage. The course has gained recognition for its quality and character, ranking among the top short courses in the United States, including #11 in 2023 and #12 in 2024. It was also recognized as the #16 friendliest golf course in 2022. The facility is publicly accessible and offers memberships, leagues, lessons, and various events throughout the year.
