2.50 star(s) Decent high-desert course Decent variety in distance. There are mowed fairways in the prairie grass. The cap rock here makes for some interesting shots, with some baskets tucked right behind some of the rocks. Next to a nice park. There are almost no trees on this course. Hole 2 is the only one...

4.00 star(s) Fun, beautiful course Nice concrete tees on every hole. Nice tee signs. Nice mix of long and short, open and wooded, left-turning and right turning holes. Nice use of elevation on this course, especially the valley holes (downhill tee shot, uphill approach), as well as a couple fun downhill...

3.00 star(s) Nice course in well-maintained park Huge concrete tee pads on every hole, with hole number and distance in the concrete itself - some of the nicest pads I've seen. The water comes in to play on most of the holes, including one hole with a carry of about 200 feet over part of one of the lakes...

2.50 star(s) Nice layout, but nastly plant life Good variety of distance and hole design. Plenty of short and long holes to offer some challenge as well as some scoreable holes. Nice use of elevation with a couple fun downhill holes as well as a couple challenging uphill holes. The holes around the perimeter...

3.00 star(s) Mostly open and wind-exposed Nice concrete tee pads on every hole. The tee signs are custom, carved rocks with a hole diagram and distances engraved in the rock. Good variety of distances. The course is mostly flat, but does use the elevation it does have nicely, with a couple of nice uphill and...

4.00 star(s) Nice Course There are 2 quality rubber tees and 2 permanent baskets on every hole, so there is plenty of variety in distance, as well as hole shape, as the baskets and tees are often in very different places. The setup is almost like 4 different courses if you wanted to play each combination...

4.00 star(s) Open course in beautiful park Three concrete tees and two permanent basket positions on every hole, means there is a layout here for pretty much any skill level. The course is nicely maintained, with mowed grass fairways, and in a park with nice amenities, including a swimming pool and baseball...

3.00 star(s) Short but fun This is a fun little course with a bunch of ace runs if you hit the right lines. During the offseason, there is rarely more than two or three groups on this course, meaning you generally don't have people in your way. It is in a park with nice amenities, and is right next to a...

4.00 star(s) Fun, tight course Nice park with good amenities near the first tee, including snack bar (closed in winter), a nice playground, and a kiddie train. Concrete tee pads and multiple basket positions per hole with long tees on a few of the holes. The signs here are excellent with nice diagrams of the...

4.00 star(s) Fun, but challenging Nicely maintained park with mowed-grass fairways and nice amenities in the park, including jogging/bike paths, a swimming pool, and a nice playground. Surprising amount of elevation change for a course in Nebraska. Nice concrete tees. A lot of variety in hole shape - up...

1.50 star(s) Pretty course, with unused potential The course layout is decent, with some open shots, some left-turning, and some right-turning. The pond that plays near or along some of the holes is pretty. Navigation is difficult. The tees appear to be marked by small circular markers, but I only found two...

3.50 star(s) Fun beauriful course, but the rough is bad Two large concrete tees and two permanent basket positions on every hole with widely varying distance between the four setups. Course is in a scenic park and has nicely mowed fairways that are mowed fairly regularly (the grass is occasionally shaggy...

5.00 star(s) Awesome mountain course First of all, I loved the mountain scenery on this course. The view from the tee at hole 7 (previously 16) is awesome, with the next hole being an awesome BIG downhill shot. A couple of the holes play into some nice aspen stands. Tons of variety here in hole shape (left...

5.00 star(s) Beautifully maintained Beautifully manicured park with cleanly mowed fairways. I've played this course at least a dozen times and have never seen the maintenance get behind and have never seen garbage on this course - it is always in excellent condition. Two large concrete tees per hole and...

If the different tees have nothing to do with skill level, then why does the score card for my local golf course have suggested handicaps for the different tees? Blue is suggested for handicaps of 10 or below. White is suggested for handicaps of 11-20. Red is suggested for handicaps of 20 or...
