The Prairie Club (Dunes)

Valentine, NE · 0.0 mi away

The Dunes Course at The Prairie Club opened in 2010 near Valentine, Nebraska, in the Sandhills, and was designed by Tom Lehman with Chris Brands. The property is remote by any measure, several hours from a major airport, and the golf is built directly into the natural dune formations. The Dunes is the more open and rolling of the club's two 18-hole courses, with wide fairways, blowout bunkers and greens that use the existing contour rather than imported shaping. There are no trees and no shelter, so the wind sets the difficulty on any given day, and the same hole can play two clubs differently between morning and afternoon. The club also has the Pines Course, routed along the Snake River canyon, and the Horse Course, a 10-hole short course with multiple hole locations. Stay-and-play access is available to the public along with member play.

The Prairie Club (Pines)

Valentine, NE · 0.0 mi away

The Pines Course at The Prairie Club in Valentine, Nebraska, was designed by Graham Marsh and opened in 2010. It is one of three courses on the property, alongside the Dunes and Horse courses. The par-73 layout plays up to about 7,403 yards from the back tees and follows the rim of the Snake River canyon, with several holes lined by tall pines and cedars that set them apart from the open sandhills elsewhere on the property. The routing alternates between wooded corridors and exposed prairie ground, with noticeable elevation change throughout the round. Lodging is available on site.

Valentine Country Club

Valentine, NE · 16 mi away

Valentine Country Club refers to golf offered in Valentine, Nebraska, a small city that has been home to two distinct public courses: the historic 9-hole Deer Park Country Club, which opened in 1968 along the Minnechaduza Creek near the Niobrara River, and the newer Frederick Peak Golf Club, a 10-hole course designed by Tom Lehman and Chris Brands that opened in 2017 for the City of Valentine. No source verified a separate, currently operating club under the exact name Valentine Country Club, so this entry should be treated with caution pending confirmation of current course identity. Golf in Valentine is generally associated with the Niobrara River valley's tall-grass prairie terrain.
