Holdrege Country Club

NE, United States

Holdrege Golf Course opened in 1925 as an 18-hole facility in Holdrege, Nebraska. The course measures 6,306 yards from the back tees with a par of 72, featuring a course rating of 70.1 and slope rating of 122 on rye grass. The front nine showcases a traditional design with tree-lined fairways, water hazards affecting play on seven holes, and multiple sand bunkers. The back nine was added in 1985 and designed by Jeff Brauer, presenting a contrasting links-style layout characterized by large greens and open fairways. Water hazards come into play on only two holes on the back nine. The two nines offer distinct playing experiences—the front nine demands precision with its wooded, water-heavy design, while the back nine emphasizes open-course play with a more expansive feel. This variety in design creates an interesting contrast that challenges golfers with different strategic considerations on each side.
