Scotts Bluff Country Club
Set against Nebraska’s western plains, Scotts Bluff Country Club delivers a thoughtful 18-hole private course blending strategic play with an inviting atmosphere. Its carefully maintained fairways, gentle elevation, and rewarding greens cater to golfers seeking both challenge and approachable fun.
Course Overview
Scotts Bluff Country Club offers an 18-hole experience grounded in the heart of Nebraska’s western plains, where the wide-open sky meets meticulously kept turf. This private course balances classic design elements with a landscape shaped by natural prairie grasses and gentle rises. The layout challenges golfers with strategic bunkering and well-placed water hazards that demand thoughtful shot-making, while smooth greens reward precision and touch.
The course flows with subtle elevation changes, encouraging rhythm and shot shaping over sheer power. Fairways present enough width to invite risk-taking, yet penalize stray shots through thick rough and native grasses. This keeps play engaging for golfers across a broad range of skill levels, from curious beginners aiming to navigate course contours to experienced players honing their short game on subtle breaks.
Scotts Bluff’s clubhouse, a welcoming hub located just off the first tee, complements the golf with a relaxed atmosphere and panoramic views through large windows. The staff has earned praise for their attentiveness, ensuring both the golf and dining experience maintain high standards. Food offerings reflect a casual yet refined approach, perfect for unwinding after a round.
Walking the course is practical for those who appreciate an unhurried pace, with gentle slopes and well-maintained pathways that make the terrain accessible. Golf carts are available, but many members and guests enjoy the walk, particularly in the crisp morning air when the course reveals its truest character.
Visitors should prepare for occasional Nebraska winds that test club selection and timing, a natural element that adds a strategic layer without overwhelming. The course maintains conditioning that players rave about, particularly the firmness of fairways and smoothness of greens, both crucial for an enjoyable round.
Whether celebrating a special occasion or seeking a rigorous round, Scotts Bluff Country Club combines approachable design and a genuine western plains ambiance. Its balance of playability, service, and landscape creates a golf outing framed by understated beauty and steady challenge.
Course Highlights
The course features well-placed bunkers and native grass rough that frame the primarily flat layout, rewarding strategic play. The clubhouse’s large windows overlook the course and prairie beyond, providing a relaxing setting. Players often highlight the course’s firmness and true putting surfaces, qualities that elevate shot-making precision. The natural western Nebraska winds present an additional challenge, encouraging thoughtful club selection.

Tee boxes were rough and there are lots of grubs getting to the fairways. Service was great in the Pro Shop, but not inside the club. We did this course as part of the NE Golf Passport.

UPDATE September 2023: My daughter recently held her wedding here. From Nancy, to everyone else involved, they made it a fantastic and memorable event! The food received rave reviews, the staff was timely and courteous. The entire team was super flexible on setup and tear down after the event. A huge thank you to them for helping us through this event and helping to keep everything super positive when we all were stressed out. Can’t recommend highly enough! Always a nice venue for a hosted event. Was there the other evening and your staff did a wonderful job. Actually came in on their day off to help our business host a training. Food was fantastic service was great.

Flawless greens. Plush fairways. The rough, where I play from the most, is well cared for and forgiving. Amazing food. Throw a dart at the menu. You won't be disappointed.
