27 Holes of Golf

Our 18-hole Championship Course, at just over 7,100 yards, has played host to some of the most prestigious events in Nebraska golf. Weaving its way through the Wilderness Ridge community, the course is known for its outstanding bent grass greens, fairways and impressive water features.

"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!"
