Landmand 2024

[Kevin_Reilly]

Landmand (Nebraska) sold out its entire inventory of tee times in 2024 this morning.  If you logged in 5 minutes after opening, you were out of luck.


Will see if some of these times become available for purchase from tour operators.

[Mike Hendren]

Never mind.

[Daryl David]

Damn. I was hoping to spend some of my time traveling to Homer, Nebraska. Guess that dream is dead. 

[Ronald Montesano]

I'm told that courses get better with age and settling...

[Tommy Williamsen]

I wonder if they keep some tee times open for locals to buy.

[Cal Seifert]

This seems to be a similar issue to Sweetens Cove as well.

[Jeff Schley]

Too many belt notchers?

[John Kavanaugh]

People who plan ahead ruin everything. My buddy got a time in September that will haunt be until I succumb.

[Ben Hollerbach]

I wonder if they keep some tee times open for locals to buy.

Yes, they are big on local play and prioritize local access.

[John Foley]

I don't get it. Why? Is it the scarcity marketing ploy??


There is no way every 8-12 min time from April thru Nov went - it's not Taylor Swift.

Too many belt notchers?

Hope that's rhetorical but fear it isn't.

Yeah Peter should have put a  .  Seems people who want to play ranked courses (historical architecture or notable designer) are demonized. I totally get the moniker of guys who only take without giving in return; I don't think there are many at all on this site at all. 

So I agree with Tommy who says we are passionate about our hobby, some people read every Tom Clancy novel, others have collections of baseball cards/toys/whatever.  We have a passion for experiencing notable golf courses, if it is a notch then I hope to have a long belt.

[Matt Schoolfield]

I don’t consider myself a belt notcher, but there are a few highly ranked courses that I would like to go and play every day for a week, and Landmand is definitely one of them. There’s something about the wide open American heartland links that really appeals to me.

[Jonathan Cummings]

If there is a poster child for anti-golf, Landmand is it.  I keep thinking what Melvyn would write if he played it :-)

[Gary Kurth]

Ugh, no wonder I couldn't get a tee time earlier today.


You can pick up a tee-time here and there during the season as people cancel the week of their tee time.  Nothing you can plan around unless you are within a reasonable driving distance.

I think that might just be part of it. To go out there requires some forethought. If you're going to make the trip, you'd hope to then plan some other things around it.

If I recall correctly from last year, the tee times are 20 minutes apart.  They try to keep groups spread out so a group isn't pushing anyone or being pushed.


I believe there were certain days they blocked-out times for local play and the course was typically closed on Tuesdays for maintenance.

Have not talked to one person whom I trust that has liked the golf course,  The words that I continue to hear are"excessive" and "over the top".

Golf course architects and football referees should have something in common.  Sometimes it is best when you forget that they were there. 

Seems like King and Collins are intent and making sure that every golfer knows that they were there.  No thanks.

I will agree that you know for sure that KC were there and that the course walks the line between exciting and over the top. I went there thinking that I might not like the course. I liked the routing, terrain, expansiveness, vistas, and shots into the greens. Where it got over the top were the greens. I'm not sure I'd like to regularly play a course where a three-putt is good.

We can’t expect old people to like new ideas.

We can't always expect new ideas to be any good.

[Buck Wolter]

Why wouldn't they sell their tee times ahead if there is demand? Seems like they are probably leaving some money on the table but what a business model -- no pesky members to worry about either.

While it's not quite as groundbreaking as, say, Tobacco Road, I think if you're open-minded enough to see a place like TR for what it is, rather than try and fit it into the mainstream mold of golf, you can thoroughly enjoy a place like Landmand. It's a bit weird, and that's by design. I'm encouraged by its popularity because it signifies that golfers' palates are expanding; they're becoming more open to weird features than they used to be. If a place like Landmand ends up being popular, I think it will embolden other architects to try some eccentric features/concepts - some that succeed, some that fail - that they may have otherwise shied away from. I think that's a good sign for the future of golf architecture overall.

Honestly, I'm glad to hear this.  If everyone likes a new course, I doubt it has anything truly new about it.  I like every Coore & Crenshaw and Doak course I've played. They are all extremely good, but they can bleed together sometimes and there are a lot of them now.  I'm glad something different has been built, regardless if it ends up not being as good.  They took a shot and even if it fails, I think that's moving the conversation forward.  If they succeed and it's awesome, even better.
