In January of 2021 North Bend Golf Course was voted by Golf Advisor as the #2 short course in the United States!! They define a short course as a course that is less than 6,000 yards or a Par 70 or fewer.
North Bend Golf Course is located on the west end of North Bend Nebraska and just south of Highway 30. This eighteen hole public course is a flat developing golf course. North Bend opened nine holes in 1995 and opened an additional nine in 2001. The grass is very well established throughout the course. The front nine measures 2760 from the blue tees, and 2566 from the white tees. The back nine is longer, measuring 3103 from the blue tees and 2928 from the white. Although the course is on the short side, there are many challenges.
Water comes into play on seven of the holes. The greens are large and very well maintained. The fairways are in great shape and the rough is lush. This course is a walkers delight, as it is very flat and the distances from green to the next tee is minimal. The course rating is 67.7 with a slope rating of 107 on the blue tees. We recently remodeled the interior of the clubhouse with new carpet, tables and high definition televisions.
