15 Best Golf Courses in Indiana
Victoria National Golf Club in Newburgh, Indiana, is ranked the best golf course in Indiana. Designed by architect Tom Fazio, this 18-hole course was built in 1998 and acquired in 2018, and it measures 7,209 yards with a rating of 77 and a slope of 148. The course’s high ranking is due to its natural beauty and to its final five-hole stretch known as "The Gauntlet." This famously difficult stretch of holes includes five of the game's most difficult.
15 Best Golf Courses in Nebraska
Designed as an "off-grid" course, ArborLinks in Nebraska City is a regulation course that feels like a secluded destination. It was designed by Arnold Palmer and opened in 2002, and it took advantage of the region's rolling farmland to create a golf experience that feels like wide Midwestern farmland. With a 74.6 rating, it still presents plenty of fun challenges. However, the rustic course feels like classic, pure golf with a touch of forest at its edges. Sights and scenery like ravines and man-made lakes round out the course, and the cornfields surrounding its greens and fairways make it feel like a true Nebraska destination.
Spanning 600 acres and 7,100 yards with 18 holes on its regulation-style course, GrayBull Club is a destination worth seeing in Maxwell, Nebraska, if you are searching for the most striking courses in the state. Though it is relatively young (it opened in 2024), the 74.2-rated course takes advantage of the sandhills landscape and winds its way around dunes and dips into valleys. Designed by David McLay Kidd, the private, members-only course uses the natural dunes and weaves between them to blend a luxury course with the prairie itself. Tactical golfers will love the strategy required at GrayBull to master those famous prairie winds, a spin on an Alps hole at the sixth, and the semi-blind approaches that pop up thanks to dunes.
