Adding a few final thoughts here, and I hope others do as well.


If you like fun adventure golf, then Landmand should be on your bucket list.


King + Collins and their build partners have created many unique and memorable holes in a striking setting.  Their initial 18 hole design is not something you can easily forget after you have played it.


The vibe is very rural and relaxed, which is a nice contrast to many bustling resorts.


2023 is off to a successful start, as the initial traunch of non resident tee times is largely sold-out for the summer.  August is mostly blocked-off right now and hopefully those tee times will open-up at some point.  There are good tee times available in September.


I suspect that King + Collins hotline is ringing often now, as owners will like the prospect of selling many tee times in advance like they have been able to do at Sweeten's Cove and now Landmand.

Does anyone have any information about the geographical spread of tee times booked? It will be nice to have folks travel there and stay for a few days, but I think it would be nicer to have a wonderful course for locals to play without having to make tee times months in advance.

Since day 1, Will the owner has been adamant that this is a course for locals. Beyond preferential rates, locals have preferential access as well.


 I believe one guy from Souix City played the course something like 80 times in the first 90 days, or something crazy like that.

Landmand was awarded Best New Public course for 2022 by Golf Digest.  Congrats to King-Collins and the Andersen family.
