Fried Egg Golf made the trip to Maxwell, Nebraska, to see about all the buzz of the region’s new private golf course—and GrayBull Club didn’t disappoint. Their feature dives into the design, the dunes, and the distinctive feel that sets Dormie Network’s newest club apart in the Nebraska Sandhills.

GrayBull’s pathbreaking design is fun to play and provides a different product than what is already available in the Nebraska Sandhills
The new kid on the block, GrayBull Club, is the latest addition to the Dormie Network’s catalog of private golf courses and the newest golf course built within the Nebraska Sandhills. Roughly 30 minutes north of I-80, the course occupies a set of medium- to large-sized dunes that provide an ideal canvas for golf. Approximately 2,000 acres of land were available to build the 18-hole layout, which gave architect David McLay Kidd the rare opportunity to hand-select precisely where he wanted to craft his golf course.
The course’s routing starts on top of a prominent ridge where the clubhouse and cottages reside and takes players down, out, around, and back up to the ridge in a large, clockwise loop. It traverses medium-sized dunes on the front nine in a more compact fashion and moves to more dramatically sized dunes on the back nine. With the design, there was a dedicated effort to make the playing surface a complete ribbon of low-mowed turfgrass that has no interruptions for all 18 holes. This means a lot of the holes play down and in between ridgelines and tall dunes that frame the sides of each hole, making the routing follow the path of least resistance. This continuous flowing style creates a very different look and feel from the other Sandhills courses, as does the unique approach to the bunker style.
