"Speaking as a member, the staff at the Pro Shop have been extremely accommodating, open to new suggestions and always friendly. Quite frequently, I invite guests to play golf and the most common word I hear them say after the round is "awesome". Having lived and played golf in four states, I feel the fees at Wilderness Ridge are a bargain for this quality golf course. Lincoln is fortunate to have such a great facility."
Dave Hillman
"It’s obvious to see the great facilities at Wilderness Ridge Golf Course. Great clubhouse, practice facilities and the golf course is well-maintained and challenging. What people don’t see but will experience is the friendly people that work and run Wilderness Ridge. They truly want you to have a great experience, whether it’s dining or playing golf."
Dick Krapfl
"Wilderness Ridge is a piece of paradise for me! I retired and joined Wilderness several years ago. It has provided me with a championship course that challenges my golf at every level. Provides me with a 9 hole executive course that can be played in an hour. Indoor and outdoor practice facilities among the best in Lincoln. A restaurant that provides my group fine food and drink. Like I said, paradise!"
