Sand Hills Golf Club Course Review

The Sand Hills Golf Club is built on a stunningly beautiful piece of real estate, situated in the middle of Nebraskas Sand Hills. Out here, the grass covered dunes which make for the perfect terrain with regard to building a golf course, unfold forever (there are 18,000 square miles comprised of the largest grass covered dunes on the planet, an area of New Hampshire and Vermont put together) and truth be told, there arent many courses like the Sand Hills, in the middle of nowhere basically, between Denver and Omaha but approximately 300 miles from each of the two. The golf course itself is built and designed following an utterly simple concept, being a links inspired course beautifully routed over the ubiquitous native sand dunes, which made the architects happy. As a side note, the golf course at Sand Hills is designed by a duo of architects, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. Youll just have to see the land before even getting here and youll understand that youll be playing onto something really special folks.

The terrain is rich in blow outs of sand and native washes while the sand dunes provide the ideal natural setting for building fairways, tees, greens and bunkers. Most of the holes at the Sand Hills are built using the classic, old fashioned way , as the area abounds in the three basic elements required in links golf: a firm turf, sand and wind. Its also worth mentioning that playing the Sand Hills sometimes feels like in a frontier outpost rather than a country club. Besides that, keep in mind that the golf course at Sand Hills is ranked 11th in the world (!) folks and it has the most impressive and biggest sand dunes Ive ever seen, making for an outstanding experience. Just get here and youll discover one of the few places left in the world where you can find true peace, whilst experiencing a range of emotions which will go from where am I? To this is surreal.
