“Unique design with mix of varied distance, routing, and elevations, inclusive of short/long 3s, forced carries and sharp doglegs. Friendly driving areas, and relatively large greens makes for a good course for match play and a group outing."

“The first of the Dormie Network properties, Arbor Links is a pure golf experience. Located about an hour from Omaha and surrounded by corn fields the course is worth a visit if you can get an invite. The course wanders through some rolling hills and several thickets of trees with no surrounding housing other than the club-owned cottages surrounding the clubhouse. The course conditions are outstanding and the variety of tee boxes gives golfers of all abilities a chance to score. Fairways are generally wide and most hazards are clearly visible. Greens are superb with modest undulations and most of ample room for recovery shots if you happen to miss. The layout is not overly long or challenging, but presents a fair test for better players. Arbor Links is a great course to enjoy a relaxing round with top notch service and conditions."

“Located just outside of Nebraska City, it is a private member-only Arnold Palmer designed links style course. If you can find a member to get you on the course it is well worth the effort as it is a wonderful design with many short making requirements. Sweeping views of the countryside make it even more enjoyable."

“This is a fine and difficult Palmer course south of Omaha. The course demands good iron play."

“This an Arnold Plamer design and one of his best courses laid out on Nebraska prairie land. It is imaginative and challenging. They have cottages for overnight stays. It is private so if you get invited, go."
