Golf Course Location-Wild Horse Golf Club is located just north of Gothenburg, Nebraska on Highway 47 and then west.

Golf Course Description-Wild Horse Golf Club is an 18 hole public course. 1999 is the first year this course has been opened and it is in wonderful shape. It is a links course with thick, thick native grasses as real penalties on nearly each and every shot. The fairways are mostly wide enough, but lots of virgin sandhill sand traps both near the greens and at those strategic places in the fairways help to increase your handicap.

The course is par 72 and measures 6,805 from the gold tees to 4,688 from the green tees.

Tee boxes are marked with horse shoes. Believe me... you will appreciate any luck you can get from those shoes. Course rating is 73.0 from the gold to 66.3 from the silver tees. Slope is 125 from the gold and 108 from the green.

This course is not for everybody. If you are a beginner, you could get frustrated at Wild Horse. Balls can be lost at the drop of a bad tee shot. Even if you see where it went your chances of finding your ball in the thick rough is slim.

The large brick clubhouse is to be completed late in 1999.

Course Conditions-For the first year opened, Wild Horse has developed into a great golf course. The greens are large and lightning fast. Mark my word... this course will be on the Golf Digest's best golf courses list in the future.

Uniqueness of this course-The uniqueness of Wild Horse is its virgin sandhills beauty. The sand traps are "blow-outs" and the native grasses are a cattlemens delight!!

Other Local Attractions-If you golf the Sandhills Golf Club in Mullen you must not leave Nebraska without driving less than 100 miles south to Gothenburg and enjoy a round at Wild Horse.

Update-September 2002

We returned to Wild Horse Golf Club. What a beautiful matured golf course. The fairways are in great shape. If you land in the fairway you are treated to a much longer drive that you expected with a great roll.

The greens are lightning fast. You must land in front of the green and roll the ball up to the flag.

The golf excursion to Wild Horse Golf Club is to become an annual event.
