Course Review

Prairie Club Dunes Golf Course
Valentine, Nebraska
Championship Golf Amidst the Rolling Hills
AMW Faves List
Favorite Par 3 – #4 – Set among rolling hills and natural fescue, this par 3 features a massive green that spans more than half the hole. Subtle contours, deep swales, and gentle humps make reading the putting surface a formidable challenge.
Favorite Par 4 – #11 – Go bold off the tee and attack the green with confidence. Rewards are waiting, but danger lurks at every turn.
Favorite Par 5 – #10 – Stunning from the tee and deceptively conniving, this par 5 challenges both your skill and your nerve. It will test your resolve at every turn while somehow leaving you smiling at the end.
Favorite Hole Design – #13 – Perhaps it’s the beauty, perhaps the challenge—whatever it is, this hole stands out as a favorite. Cross bunkers guard the fairway, tempting and testing every shot.
Easiest Hole – #11 – Going for broke is enticing, but discretion pays off. Aim right of the waste bunker on the left—there’s little sense in trying to reach the green.
Hardest Hole – #18 – Closing out the Dunes Course, this hole is a relentless test. Length, rolling fairways, and a devilishly difficult green leave no room for error. Every approach should carry past the pin—anything less invites disaster.
Favorite Extra Sighting – Snake River Canyon
Favorite Apres Golf – The Horse Course and Putting Green
Where to Stay – The Prairie Club
Where to Eat – Caprock Lounge and all restaurants
