I prefer Benson/Knolls/Goodman any day over Pac Springs/Stone Creek/Tiburon. Buddy and I went and played Indian Creek a few weeks back. To me that's the best value course in the city. I never liked Pac Springs. Stone Creek is too easy, and I barely remember Tiburon. Quote Link to comment

Tiburon and Stone Creek are very similar. 27 holes and fairly wide open. Also takes about 5 1/2 hours to play a round out there. Quote Link to comment
wiuhusker Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Will be interesting to follow this as it's being built as well. Nice to have a course like this going in a little closer to Omaha. Love Awarii and Wildhorse but they're a decent drive to get to. https://kingcollinsgolf.com/projects/landmand-golf-club/ 1 Quote Link to comment

It creates un-imaginative designs and layouts. Plus, the idea of a 27-hole complex is to create as many tee times available as possible, especially on the weekends. Indian Creek is a good layout, and isn't the typical 27-hole complex through a housing development. 1 Quote Link to comment

The wide open prairies, the large target areas off the tee, and general sense of being away from everything. It's such a fun experience, and gives a sense of links golf, although I still played golf "through the air". I really want to go play The Prarie Club near Valentine, but don't really have anyone to go play with. Maybe when my son gets older, we can take a father-son weekend up there. 1 Quote Link to comment

I've played Wildhorse once and it was one of my favorite courses I've played to date. Still need to get out and play Bayside. Prarie Club is on the must play list as well if I can find a group of buddies to go with me. 1 Quote Link to comment

The course is designed to play with a prevailing south wind, and the day we played it the wind was from the north. It made some holes really easy, and other holes really hard. There is one par 5 on the back 9 that goes fairly close to the lake. It's nearly 600 yards, going from the south to the north. It would be manageable with a southerly wind, but going against the wind was brutal!!! Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Saturday I play in an event in Orlando. Really looking forward to it. Husker watch site is 20 minutes away in the evening. Probably one of the last times I play this year. 1 Quote Link to comment

I feel like Indian Creek is way overpriced. Had the pleasure of playing Poppy Hills in Pebble Beach, CA on Friday. Probably the nicest course i've ever played. Senior PGA open is being held there in a week or two. Quote Link to comment

It is over priced now...I think it is 60 dollars all the time...I love that course though. But I agree that it seems a bit high. I remember playing it for 40 all the time. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Interesting, I think Indian Creek is one of the best values in golf. Great layout, arguably the best conditions in Omaha, Top-5 Web.com venue. $33 weekday walking, $60 weekend riding. Quote Link to comment

Wish we had a PGA tour event somewhere. US Senior Open is coming back to Omaha CC in 2021 though! 1 Quote Link to comment

We used to play out there all the time, that first hole, I think a par 5 onn red feather...god I hate that f#&%ing hole. Quote Link to comment

That is a championship golf course. Also, I'm coming from Kansas City. We didn't have anything close to that, a pristine public championship golf course, let alone one reasonably priced.
