I've only golfed Thornridge Golf Course twice, both this summer, but have enjoyed it greatly both times. The first time my wife and I played we were 45 minutes early and they let us on early (stupid mapquest!) and they next time we were 20 minutes late (stupid interstate construction) and they let us on when we arrived. Nice people!
This 9 hole course west of Lincoln is well-maintained, affordable (via great on-line rates) and a fair test of golf. While not overly long, two holes have split (elevated)/blind lay-up/go for it tee shots. A couple other holes have a creek that splits the fairway, again, lay-up/go for it shots.
Both par 3s play uphill.
No sandtraps.
Oh... and no beer or liquor but it seems everybody brings their own cans of beer in. Works for me! Clubhouse has pop and snacks but outside of balls and tees they offer little else in golf stuff.
I find the greens here very putt-able, they roll very fair.
Overall, I really like this course (my wife does too). read more
