An Arnold Palmer-designed links-style course cut through Nebraska prairie and cornfield country; it became the founding club of the Dormie Network in 2015, converting what had been a stand-alone club into the first stop on a national private-club platform.
This course is in our GSPro library — pull it up in any bay and play it wall to wall.
"The wide-open prairie setting is deceptive - the Palmer bunkering and green complexes demand real precision even though the fairways look forgiving from the tee."
ArborLinks opened in June 2002 in Nebraska City, the hometown of Arbor Day, and Arnold Palmer marked the occasion by playing the first official round alongside EPA administrator Christine Todd Whitman. Palmer laid the course over more than 300 acres of rolling prairie between cornfields with minimal earth movement, giving it a lie-of-the-land, links-style character under big open Nebraska sky. True to its Arbor Day Foundation roots, trees were planted selectively and sustainably rather than by the thousand, and the club has been lauded for its environmental sensitivity ever since. Golf Digest has recognized it among Palmer's best designs and it is a fixture on best-in-Nebraska lists. Today it is a destination club in the Dormie Network, with on-site lodging and a stay-and-play rhythm to member visits.
Golfers who love open, windswept, links-flavored golf in the American heartland, and Dormie Network members or their guests looking for a relaxed buddies-trip destination.
Writer Daniel Wexler singles out the 307-yard 2nd, a drive-and-pitch across a gully, the Cape-style 429-yard 5th, and the dogleg-right 414-yard 12th; a forested ravine through the property's north end adds contrast to the open prairie holes.
Wide prairie corridors and multiple tee sets (down to 5,136 yards) make it approachable, but wind and native grasses punish wild misses, so play the forward tees and keep it in the short stuff.
Par 72 and 7,222 yards from the black tees (75.4/141). The wide corridors and firm, links-style ground game translate well to a simulator, but the ever-present Nebraska wind and fescue lies do not.
Private destination club within the Dormie Network; access is via membership or as a member's guest, typically paired with on-site lodging rather than daily-fee play.
