Wilderness Ridge Golf Club, Lincoln, Nebraska - a Championship-Caliber Golf Course Adjacent to Wilderness Park, Nebraska

The Wilderness Ridge Golf Club is located adjacent to Wilderness Park in Nebraska, and features 22 lakes, a mile-and-a-half of streams and four waterfalls. The course is bordered by mature trees, and an additional 3,000 new trees were planted and 2,000 mature cedar trees were relocated during construction to give the course a more mature feel.

The championship course features a traditional parkland design, with gently rolling, open fairways that wind around trees, bunkers and water hazards, with water coming into play on 10 of the 18 holes. The course was designed by local golf pro Jim White and opened in 2001.

The par-71 course plays to 7,107 yards from its longest (Black) tees, with a USGA rating of 74.9 and a slope rating of 133 on Bent grass fairways and greens. The greens are fairly large, averaging 6,000-6,500 square feet, feature a fair degree of undulation and tend to roll fast - about 9.5 on the stimpmeter.

The course also features practice facilities, including a year-round practice and teaching center with heated, covered hitting bays. There are also two teaching bays that are equipped with video equipment for swing analysis. The Nebraska Golf Academy also offers more than 2,000 square feet of indoor putting and chipping surface.

Wilderness Ridge is a resort-type facility that features a spacious, rustic-style clubhouse with a golf shop at The Lodge at Wilderness Ridge restaurant.
